I need to connect Modbus PLC to Azure Digital Twin to send message from several leaf devices.
How do we create Azure Iot edge devices in Azure Digital Twins ? Then How do we manage IoT edge modules incl deployments, routing, lifecycle,...all the fancy features provided by the embedded IoT Hub ?
Regards.
Digital Twins doesn't offer support yet for IoT Edge devices in public preview. We will be looking into this for GA. There is a workaround on this to open the IoT Hub connection string, but we’ve stopped supporting that as we need to focus on the future solution.
Most of the core functionalities presently available for IoT Edge devices are either being incorporated into a future iteration of the service (given the interest and demand following Public Preview). Other, existing, functionalities are being altered to expand interoperability with other customizeable Azure features.
To add a Digital Twins device (a representation within the ADT service only), you may submit an authenticated POST to the Devices API endpoint of your Management API. A future article describing this core functionality is being prepared. For now, please checkout: https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/digital-twins/how-to-use-swagger and https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/digital-twins/how-to-navigate-apis for more!
Some of these limits are specified here: https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/digital-twins/concepts-service-limits.
Thanks!
