IEMV Connection Troubleshooting

Hello, Siemens Self Support here. I understand you're having trouble connecting to IEMV after deploying from an .ova file in VMware. Here's a breakdown of common issues and troubleshooting steps:

Possible Causes & Solutions:

• Firewall: The IEMV firewall might be blocking access. Ensure port 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) are open.
• VMware Network Configuration: Verify your VMware network adapter is in Bridged mode or NAT with port forwarding configured for ports 80 & 443 to the IEMV VM.
• IP Address Conflict: Double-check for IP address conflicts on your network. While you've set a static IP, ensure it's unique.
• IEMV Service Status: Log in to the IEMV VM console (not via browser) and verify the IEMV services are running.
• Browser Caching: Clear your browser cache and try a different browser.

Additional Resources:

Please refer to these SiePortal resources for detailed guidance:

• IEMV Deployment and Initial Configuration FAQ
• IEMV Installation Guide

If these steps don't resolve the issue, please provide the following for further assistance:

• VMware network adapter settings screenshot.
• IEMV VM console access (if possible) to check service status.
• Output of the ping test you mentioned.

Industrial Edge Management - Overview

Industrial Edge Management provides a central infrastructure for managing all connected Edge Devices, whether located within a factory or globally. This eliminates the need for individual software updates and security patching on each device.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Centralized Control: Manage all Edge functions from a single system (on-site or cloud-based).
• Cost Reduction: Lower maintenance and update costs through centralized software management.
• Scalability: Deploy Edge Computing across numerous machines worldwide.
• Enhanced Security: Centrally deploy Siemens-provided security patches.
• Flexibility: Adapt devices and applications quickly to changing requirements, distributing new Apps with ease.

Unified Comfort Panel Integration

SIMATIC HMI Unified Comfort Panels offer integrated Edge device management, allowing direct application management (start/stop) alongside Edge Application execution.

Industrial Edge: Overview

Industrial Edge provides a secure runtime environment for containerized (Docker) applications, enabling high-performance data processing and analysis directly on the shop floor. Unlike PC-based systems, it offers integrated connectivity to both automation and cloud systems without complex programming.

Key Components:

• Industrial Edge Devices: Hardware with the runtime environment for Edge Applications.
• Industrial Edge Applications: Pre-built or custom applications for various use cases (e.g., production machines, machine tools).
• Industrial Edge Management: Centralized management of Edge Applications and Devices.

Benefits:

• Increased flexibility and scalability.
• Enhanced security with a "Security by Default" approach.
• Simplified connectivity (OPC UA, SIMATIC S7).
• Reduced time and effort with central administration.
• Decreased cloud dependency through local processing.

Applications:

• Local data processing & analysis (AI, high-level languages).
• Data collection, logging, and archiving.
• Protocol conversion (Modbus TCP to OPC UA).
• IoT Gateway functionality.
• Local data visualization (HTML5).
• Closed-loop automation intervention.
