Prerequisites​

Before starting, ensure you have the following:

Setup Process​

Step 1: Clone the GitHub Repository​

  1. SSH into the X20 Edge device with the configured user.

  2. Navigate to the directory where you want to store the project.

  3. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/BRDK-GitHub/X20Edge-RecipeManagment.git

  4. Navigate into the cloned repository:

    cd X20Edge-RecipeManagment/docker

Step 2: Deploy Docker Compose​

  1. Ensure you are inside the docker folder within the cloned repository.

  2. Run the following command to start the services:

    docker compose up -d

Step 3: Configure PocketBase​

  1. Open a web browser and navigate to http://EdgeIP:8090/_/.

  2. Log in with the following credentials:

    • Username: test@test.com
    • Password: 1234567890

  2. Click on Create Recipe.

  3. You can now edit the recipe inside PocketBase or use its structure to create new ones.

PLC Configuration​

Step 1: Enable OPC UA​

  1. Ensure OPC UA is enabled in the PLC settings.

Step 2: Create a PLC Task​

  1. Create a task named Main.
  2. Inside Main, define a structure named recipe with the following variables:
    • Name (string)
    • Position (real)
    • Heat (bool)
  3. Enable all variables for OPC UA access.

Summary​

After following these steps, your X20 Edge should be running a recipe management system accessible via a web interface. The PLC can communicate with PocketBase through OPC UA, enabling real-time control and adjustments of recipes.
