System Requirements

Before deploying the WAGO Energy Visualization App (WEVA), ensure the host environment meets the following hardware and software specifications.

Host Hardware Specifications​

The host system must remain powered and network-accessible to ensure continuous data polling and server availability.

ComponentMinimum SpecificationRecommended Specification
CPUDual-core 2.0 GHz (x86_64)Quad-core 2.5 GHz+
RAM4 GB8 GB
Storage20 GB SSD (Primary)100 GB SSD (High endurance)
Network100 Mbps Ethernet/WIFI1 Gbps Ethernet/WIFI

NOTE! Storage requirements scale with the number of connected devices and the configured polling frequency.

Software Prerequisites​

The following software must be installed and verified on the host machine prior to installation.Click here to get the Docker software.

1. Docker Engine​

WEVA is containerized and requires a stable Docker environment.

  • Windows: Docker Desktop 4.x or higher (with WSL2 backend).
  • Linux: Docker Engine 20.10.x or higher with Docker Compose v2.

2. Network Configuration​

  • IP Adress: Make sure the host pc is on the same network configuration as the MODBUS devices to ensure easy connectivity.
  • Port Availability: The following ports must be unoccupied:
    • 3000: Primary web interface.
    • 3306: Database communication (internal).
    • 7081/7481: WDX Runtime (PLC Visu).

NOTE! These ports are the default ports for the software and can be modified!

Client Requirements​

Clients accessing the dashboard do not require specialized software installation.

  • Web Browser: Latest versions of Chrome, Edge, or Firefox.
  • Network: Routeable access to the host IP on the industrial network.
