Hello There!
Is it possible to operate a digital twin directly on a PLCnext Control?
Or do I have to find an edge or cloud computing-based implementation option for the digital twin?
If the latter is the case, what options do I have within the PLCnext ecosystem to operate a digital twin, not just for demo purposes, but permanently via edge or cloud computing?
Best regards and thanks in advance for your help
I have discussed this with our “Digital Twin” expert, and he suggested this app in the PLCnext Store (for x64 PLCnext Control devices):
That app page also includes a link to this earlier discussion in the Community Forum:
Forum - PLCnext Community PLCnext Technology from Phoenix Contact is a unique, open ecosystem for modern automation that is capable of meeting all the challenges of the IoT world.
Finally, I have been told that “AASX Server can be run as a docker on PLCnext.”
