Quickstart

Getting Started with eDESIGN and WDX

This guide will walk you through setting up and configuring eDESIGN and WDX for various environments. Choose the option that best suits your needs:

  1. Local Development: Install and configure eDESIGN and WDX on your local computer for development purposes.
  2. WAGO PLC CC100: Program your PLC tasks directly on the WAGO PLC CC100 using CODESYS or the WDX runtime with JavaScript or Node-RED.
  3. PLC Communication (MQTT): Connect to another PLC brand, such as BECKHOFF, using the MQTT protocol.
  4. PLC Communication (OPC-UA): Connect to another PLC brand, such as SIEMENS, using the OPC-UA protocol.
  5. Docker Container: Run a Docker container with a pre-installed WDX runtime and data layer on any cloud provider. Communication with this container will be done via MQTT.
  6. Linux VM with CODESYS: Set up a Linux system inside a VM environment on any provider and install CODESYS Soft-PLC. You can then connect to this VM using eWEB to view all variables defined in the CODESYS symbol configuration.
