Softing EdgeAggregator is a proprietary software that allows users to connect to field devices and controllers. In this guide, we will provide step-by-step instructions on how to install and use Softing EdgeAggregator in the United Manufacturing Hub (UMH).
⚠️
Unfortunately, we were not able to get a connection working from the EdgeAggregator to our OPC-UA simulator. We still uploaded this tutorial as it may help others in deploying the EdgeAggregator in Kubernetes.
