How it Works

HARDWARE CONNECTIONS

A diagram is worth a thousand words.

⚠️ The internet connection is only for programming purposes and not required for the code execution.

PROTOCOLS

JasperNode supports several Industrial and IT Protocols to connect to hardware and your software infrastructure.

Hardware Connectors (OT)

- Modbus TCP
- Siemens S7 - to read/write Siemens PLCs
- Ethernet/IP (in testing phase)
- BACnet/IP (in testing phase)
- EtherCAT (in testing phase)

Software Connectors (IT)

- MQTT - Modern Industry 4.0 protocol
- InfluxDB - Database Logging
- Emails - Send emails
- HTTP Server - Create a mini API server
- HTTP Client - read data from websites
- Node-RED - read and write tags

DOCUMENTATION

The documentation is embedded in the JasperNode. Once installed, open AI chat and ask "How to get started?" and the AI assistant will guide you through the Key Concept of the software and the Steps to take. It is something where AI also shines well.

However, to understand how it needs to be connected, see the diagram below.
