The following configuration options of the common machine configuration model apply to EOS Connect machines.

Obtaining access credentials:

Obtain username and password at https://si3456/gui/auth, replace si3456 with the actual ID of the machine. This page is secured with a login and you will need to use your EOScada credentials to access it. Only EOScada credentials that have the role of Supervisor can add new clients.

You must have purchased the EOSCONNECT Core license (40194). The purchased license will be activated on the machine after its first setup. To acquire additional licenses, or renew existing ones that are about to expire, contact your EOS field service technician.

Secrets for OPC/UA authentication (see below). For files, the path can be absolute or relative to the Aggregator.

EOS Connect machine example:

Code Block
languagejson
{
  "type": "EOS",
  "url": "opc.tcp://SI3456:4843",
  "custom_name": "my_eos_machine",
  "authentication_file_path": "./secret.json", // contents may also be inlined
  "mes_id": [
    1
  ]
}

secret.json:

Code Block
languagejson
{
  // Client Id
  "username": "username",
  // Client Secret
  "password": "password",
  // **Optionally** override secrets:
  // Relative or absolute path to a PEM or DER file, or its content inline
  //"certificate": "./my_cert.der",
  // Subject Alternative Name, URI=
  //"application_uri": "urn:example.com",
  // Relative or absolute path to a PEM or DER file, or its content inline
  //"private_key": "./my_priv.der",
}

Troubleshooting

  • Sending data to the Agile MES fails with error: certificate verify failed
    Import the certificate of the Agile MES into the Local Machine’s certificate store:

    • Open the Agile MES website in the browser.

    • Click on the Lock icon next to the address line

    • Export the certificate: Connection is secure → Certificate is valid → Details → Export selected certificate…

    • Double-click on the downloaded certificate (it should open using Crypto shell extensions)

    • Follow the steps in the pictures:
