  • Page 5: Overview

    One solution for reading process data from Mitsubishi Electric controllers and robots that do not have an OPC interface as standard is the RD55UP12-V module with installed IBH Link UA software, called IoT Gateway . This solution is a server/client module. The OPC client function also enables OPC servers to exchange data with each other.

  • Page 6: Security

    Another security level of OPC UA is the exchange of certificates. Communication is only possible when both server and client have been assigned a valid certificate by the respective partner. _________________________________________________________________________ Document: Quickstart_IoTGateway_EN Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V. Rev: 001G Date: 01/02/2022...

  • Page 7: Commissioning

    3 Commissioning Each RD55UP12-V can be started as an IoT Gateway module. For this purpose, a corresponding image must be written to an SD card. The image file contains the Linux operating system and the corresponding programme from IBH for the OPC UA server function.

  • Page 8: Software Used

    In addition, a web browser must be installed on the PC. If you have received an already configured IoT Gateway from Mitsubishi Electric, the following setup chapters 3.2 to 3.5 are not required. For your security, we recommend that you create a backup copy of the inserted SD card, as described in Chapter 3.6.

  • Page 9: Prepare Hardware

    3.3 Prepare hardware Unpack the selected iQ-R hardware, mount it to the base rack and connect it as instructed (refer to Mitsubishi Electric hardware manuals). The control unit can now be switched on. 3.4 Set IP addresses for RD55UP12-V IBH First, you have to create a project in GW-Works3 that matches the hardware you have plugged in.

  • Page 11: Activate Licence Code

    After you have received the license file from IBHsoftec matching the module serial number and MAC addresses, this must be imported into the module once. To do this, select the "System" menu in the configuration interface. _________________________________________________________________________ Document: Quickstart_IoTGateway_EN Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V.

  • Page 12: Backup / Restore Of Sd Card

    After all the necessary configurations have been made and the project functions have also been parameterized, a backup copy can be created from the SD card using the "DDWIN" software. This backup can only be used in the RD55UP12-V module with the hardware ID for which the IoT Gateway license was created.

  • Page 13: Restore The Sd Card

    3.6.2 Restore the SD card To load the image onto a new SD card, the "DDWIN.EXE" program must be run as an administrator Then insert a new SD card into the PC _________________________________________________________________________ Document: Quickstart_IoTGateway_EN Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V.
