The Edge Server is able to scan automatically the fieldbus topology and can read device parameter in a PROFINET network environment by using several protocols in combination, such as SNMP, ARP, TMG and PROFINET RPC.

In order to add semantic information of the devices for the use with the OPC UA, the user can upload the Device Description Files of the connected devices.

This feature is available for all netIOT Edge Gateways On-Premise, Remote and Connect.

As shown in the picture, the Edge Server data are accessable by the OPC UA server of the netIOT Edge Gateway

The configuration is quite simple. There are some simple adjustment necessary, like IP range and protocols, which shall be used by the scan.
