Applicable PACEdge Versions: 2.3
Prerequisites: Internet Connection

Summary:
Example shows how to enable an optional Python container and use Node-RED to control and trigger Python scripts, as well as to visualize your data. Both Python and Node-RED will use OPC-UA Clients to get data from external devices, where is MQTT will be used for internal communication between Python and Node-RED.
Steps:

1.Insure PACEdge has access to Internet, enable Python container.
2.Import Node-RED example flow
3.Open network Port in Node-RED for OPC-UA Server simulator
4.Observe results in Node-RED Dashboard and Grafana Dashboard
