Introduction
The Monipa 1 offers several ways to interact with it, each suited for different use cases ranging from manual operation to full software integration. The following sections outline the main three interfaces in more detail.
The user interface is accessed via a web browser. It provides an easy to use way to start measurements and check the device status. For detailed usage examples please refer to the manual.
The REST API is the main interface for programmatic access to Monipa 1, all functionality that is available via the web frontend is also accessible there. This allows you to integrate Monipa 1 into your existing software infrastructure and automate measurements and data retrieval. The interface is available via http on port 80 and 5555.
An interactive version of the API documentation is hosted at http://<monipa-ip>/docs where different endpoints are described in detail along with example requests and responses. You can use the interactive Swagger documentation to try out API calls directly from your browser. The complete openapi.json is available in the specification section.
The OPC UA interface provides real-time access to measurement data and device status information. It can be used for integration into SCADA systems and other industrial automation software. The OPC UA server is available on port 4840.
Note
Not all functionality available that can be accessed in the the REST API is also accessible via OPC UA.
For a UI based client interface we recommend using the ProSys OPC UA Client. The complete nodeset.xml is available in the specification section.
