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.
| Component | Minimum Specification | Recommended Specification |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Dual-core 2.0 GHz (x86_64) | Quad-core 2.5 GHz+ |
| RAM | 4 GB | 8 GB |
| Storage | 20 GB SSD (Primary) | 100 GB SSD (High endurance) |
| Network | 100 Mbps Ethernet | 1 Gbps Ethernet |
[!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.
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​
- Static IP Address: The host machine must have a static IP address within the local network to ensure consistent client connectivity.
- Port Availability: The following ports must be unoccupied:
3000: Primary web interface.5432: Database communication (internal).7081/7481: WDX Runtime (PLC Visu).
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.
