This application is based on the Hello World application example.

• OS: Windows or Linux
• Docker minimum V18.09
• Docker Compose V2.4
• Industrial Edge App Publisher (IEAP) V1.2.7
• Industrial Edge Management (IEM) V1.3.0-58
• Industrial Edge Device (IED) V1.2.0-56

This example is based on the Hello World application, you can find how to install it here

After installing the application, login to the Industrial Edge Device and click on the application icon to open a web page in your browser.

As we can see, the application looks the same as the original Hello World application.

We will create new JSON file that will contain our configuration with the following content.

{
  "title": "Configuration and Device Tags",
  "ip": "##$ip$##",
  "deviceName": "##$deviceName$##" 
}

The ##$ip$## and ##$deviceName$## indicate placeholders that will be replaced by device tags.

Let's now create the device tags. Head over to Industrial Edge Management and open Edge Devices/My Edge Devices/.../Tags.

Add the two tags as mentioned before.

Now we will upload our config.json file to Industrial Edge Management. Open Applications/My Projects/config-device-tags/Configurations and add new configuration.

The template file is the config.json file we created earlier.

Now that we have created the configuration, we will download it to the Industrial Edge Device. Open My Installed Apps/.../Update Configuration

After the configuration is downloaded, refresh the application website. You should see the device name and IP displayed.
