Many of the Rexroth CAD files that are available are only available as 3D .stp files that cannot be used in 2D CAD packages, such as AutoCAD. This makes panel layout design difficult for 2D CAD programs as the dimensions must be created manually from manual information. FreeCAD is an open-source 3D CAD package and has the ability to convert views of 3D .stp CAD files to 2D .dxf files.   The process isn't exactly a one-click process so I created some instructions, see the attached pdf.  I'm not sure how dependent my instructions are on the versions of software that I have, but hopefully this can guide you to create 2D CAD files until the decision is made to make 2D CAD files part of the official, public documentation. In the mean time, maybe you can use these that I already created, attached in a zip file: XLL1_1WG401M0G-0210NNNNN-NNNNNN - this is an error, it is actually the XLL1-1NG402M0G-0050 in the drawing.  Same for the 3D .stp file in the Media Directory.  The source 3D file is named for a large product even though the smaller one is in the drawing.

Is it possible to communicate from WebIQ directly to the DataLayer, without using OPC UA, populating variables with machine data from the DataLayer?   ... View more

I'm trying to command a GET request to the ctrlX System API, using Node Red.  I'm trying to read the tempCpu variable. Working: issuing command from localhost, ie: Node Red running on the same CORE where I am directing the GET request.  You can see the flow and the result in the working.png picture and FlowWorking.txt files attached. Not Working: issuing the same command from a different device, trying to issue the GET request to the other CORE IP address. For the GET request, I get this error: "Error: error:0909006C:PEM routines:get_name:no start line : https://192.168.1.10/system/api/v1/sensors/tempCpu" I tried a variety of different ways of using certificates, keys and tokens to get the command to work, but none have worked.  I used the certificates and keys, in various combinations from the "Web Server" section of certificates and keys on the CORE, of whose temperature I would like to read.  I looked at the documentation on the REST API that described obtaining the bearer token.  I tried this in YARC and it works fine.  The same POST command from Node Red also returns a similiar error such as this one: "Error: error:0909006C:PEM routines:get_name:no start line : https://192.168.1.10/identity-manager/api/v1/auth/token" I have seen Node Red examples elsewhere for data layer, but nothing for the APIs, like the System API. I'm out of ideas...any advice or code examples of how to do this?   ... View more
