Check protocol compatibility
Make sure your machine supports one of the trex Cloud industrial protocols.
Ensure Ethernet connectivity
Verify that your machine is reachable over Ethernet from the device where the collector is installed.
Configure production signals
To start generating meaningful OEE-ready signals, configure:
- counters (production / parts)
- stop signals (downtime / machine stop)
Once these are set up, trex Cloud can start building the foundation for production monitoring and KPI visibility.
