Operation Manual
On an installed gateway, open http://<gateway-ip>:6100 and sign in. For installation, begin with Quick Start.
First-time setup
Start with Collect Your First Point. The built-in protocol simulator lets you practice without a PLC. Once you can read a value, add forwarding, history, or alarms as needed.
For a deliverable project, follow Project Configuration and Delivery through collection, calculation, MQTT, history, alarms, fan control, and recovery. Verify each result before increasing the point count.

Development and centralized management
For external interfaces, plugins, scripts, or custom nodes, see the Gateway API, Collection Plugin Development, Data-Forward Plugin Development, Script Development, and Custom Node Development.
Studio centrally maintains and publishes projects. Ordinary Runtime operation does not require Studio; use the Studio Operation Manual when you need it.
