Binding an End Device to an Edge Node

An edge node can be bound to multiple end devices, but each end device can be bound to only one edge node. By binding an end device to an edge node, you can deploy applications on the edge node so that you can manage the device and monitor its status on IEF.

Binding an Edge Node

  1. Log in to the IEF console, and click Switch Instance on the Dashboard page to select a platinum service instance.
  2. In the navigation pane, choose Managed Resources > End Devices.
  3. Click Bind Node in the row where the end device is located.
  4. Enter the relationship between the device and the node, select the edge node to be bound, and click OK.

Binding an End Device on the Edge Node Details Page

You can also bind an end device on the details page of an edge node.

  1. Log in to the IEF console.
  2. In the navigation pane, choose Managed Resources > Edge Nodes. Then, click an edge node name.
  3. On the edge node details page, click the End Devices tab and then click Bind.
  4. In the dialog box that is displayed, select the device to be bound, enter the relationship between the device and the node, and click OK.

    Nodes and devices are dependent on each other. Only nodes with Modbus plug-ins installed can be bound to Modbus devices.
