(00:01) hi everybody in this video I will show you how to use the soft data fit edge connector which is a tool to take data from PLC and expose through opcua and install with docker in optics edge so first of all have to enable docker in the optics edge we start Portainer Docker Manager we just open our environment and we go to container once we are here have to add a container you can give a name like this one you have to
(01:07) introduce this container URL or name uh we can copy it or you introduce here then we need some ports to see the ports that are used we can take a look here and the documentation says that you’re using port 443 but this port I have reserved on my optics H so I will use another one and this is the internal container port so we will use those ports excuse me here something like 8 443 and on the other side here on the
(02:13) internal container of three just deploy the container when you do this you just get such container running the edge connector so now we can just go to this port on the IP address of the optics edge and here we have our data fit edge connector from softing running um perfectly so you can choose a controller n PLC to take the tax and expose through opcua for instance with this server endpoint and this is all i hope you enjoy it thank you very much
