In this guide you will learn how to install and configure the ThingWorx Manufacturing Demo Factory (simulator enabled). Our Demo factory can be illustrated by the following layout:

4. INSTALLING ANG CONFIGURING the KEPWARE SIMULATOR

5. Step 1 – Upload the configuration data into Thingworx
In ThingWorx for Manufacturing, click on the menu in the top right corner and select “Import configuration and data”
Click “choose file,” locate the zip file “ zip” from the package you downloaded, and click “Upload”

6. Step 2: Load the Simulator into Kepware
Open KepServerEX’s configuration tool
Click “open” and locate the .opf file: “Beta_Program_Simulator.opf”
Open up project properties, and configure the connection with Thingworx
Only modify the host and port!

7. Step 3: Establish the connection with Kepware
Make sure you’re logged in as the administrator user
Go to the composer of your ThingWorx instance, located at: “<yourThingWorxURL>:<yourPort>/Thingworx/Composer”
Navigate to the application key section and view the key named “PTC.MfgSegment.Kepware_SimulatorKey”
Copy this key into Kepware, under project properties > ThingWorx

8. Step 4: Activate the Simulator
Open the Kepware Quick Client and select the “MODBUS.SigmaTile” tag grouping
Write a “1” to the tag labeled “running” in the simulator to start generating parts. Do this for every tag grouping

9. STEP 5 – TESTING THE SIMULATOR TO TRIGGER ANOMALIES
Write a 1 to any of the Boolean tags to “turn on” that state
Causes the described issue in that property
Should the machine be running?
Is the machine running?

10. Step 6: Configure the IoT GAteway
Open KepServerEX’s configuration tool
Under IoT Gateway, click Add Agent and select REST Server
Use whichever network adaptor ThingWorx and Kepware communicate over (localhost if both are installed on same host machine)
Enable write endpoint and allow anonymous login
Add all control parameters to the IoT Gateway

11. Step 7: Add The things and mashups for control
Unzip the Simulator Assets file
Import the .twx files as single entities into your instance of TWX
Add the data files as single data files

12. To control the simulator View the mashup called “Kep_ControlConsole”
You can find this mashup at the URL: ex.html#master=PTC.DeveloperProgram.MasterMashup& mashup=KEP_ControlConsole
