Objectives

In this Exercise you will learn how to:

  • Deploy the EDC Integration on the EDC edge
  • Verify data flowing into the IoT Tool in Maximo Monitor

Before you begin:
This Exercise requires that you have:

  1. completed the pre-requisites required for all labs and for this exercise
  2. completed the previous exercises
  3. verified the simulator is running as described in exercise 1

Deploy the EDC Integration on the EDC edge

At the end of the previous exercise the Deployment guide appeared.
Click on the docker command to copy it to the clipboard: Deployment Guide

Open a terminal window (Mac/Linux) or Command window (Windows) on the EDC edge and then paste the docker command line from the clipboard.
Click enter to execute it, and you should see something similar to the following: Start EDC edge

Verify data flowing into the IoT Tool

Navigate to the IoT Tool from the Monitor Home page: Navigate to IoT Tool

Since the gateway and the devices uses the same pre-fix, then it is easy to search for them. Verify the XX_EDC_GW_01 is in Connected state - and the two devices have been created automatically by the gateway. EDC devices in IoT Tool

Tip

The devices created by the gateway will always be in Disconnected state, as they receive their data through the gateway.

Select one of the two simulated Lenze i550 devices and navigate to Recent Events: Open device in Connect

Wait for a couple of minutes (you know those 60000ms defined in the Integration) until you see the first messages coming through: View device in Connect

Click on the last received payload: and see the data points that was selected in the Integration: View device payload in Connect

And see the data points that was selected in the Integration being send on the status event type:

{
    "timestamp": "2023-09-25T12:26:05.508843Z",
    "motor_current_ampere": 9.600000000000001,
    "output_frequency_hertz": 36.65,
    "dc_bus_voltage_volt": 401,
    "motor_torque_percent": 66,
    "supply_voltage_volt": 283.5498192558055,
    "frequency_command_hertz": 36.65,
    "motor_voltage_volt": 700,

}

Congratulations you have successfully deployed and verified the EDC Integration.
