Operate an industrial gateway

The industrial gateway application is box-first. Open the enabled gateway from its network, then stay on the device Controls tab. The vendor Device Class UI and protocol workbench belong on that device.

There is no Plant Protocol Gateways sidenav section. Plant attention belongs on the network, while commissioning belongs on the gateway.

Check protocol status

Start with Status. It shows the selected interface and endpoint, last-known reading, source address, settings state, and a bounded connection test.

Status answers whether this gateway can reach the configured field device.

Map a reading

Open I/O mapping to connect a protocol source to the customer-readable value published by the gateway. Save and send deliberate changes, then check that the running settings match.

I/O mapping keeps protocol addresses and published readings together.

Inspect a recording

Open Analysis for bounded traffic recordings, filters, raw bytes, decoded frames, timing, and export. A recording is captured on the gateway and uploaded before the browser inspects it. It is not an unrestricted live packet tail.

Analysis explains what a completed recording contained.

Device Diagnostics is a different surface. It tests the device connection and configured dependencies and contains permitted recovery actions.
