Communication between Apps

Industrial Edge Devices contain a preconfigured network configuration, the “proxy-redirect” network. In this network, the Databus is available and responsible for providing communication between apps.

By joining this network, it is possible to communicate with the Databus. This network will not be created by your app as it is an existing virtual network on the IED. If you want to establish a connection to the Databus, you must mark this network external in the Docker-compose file of your app. The communication with other apps in this network should just be done via the Databus.
