  • Extensions: None

  • Queues / Topics / Exchanges: IAS standard queues and exchanges

  • Required Privileges: IAS standard

  • Relative Capacity: Depending on the size of the factory

Networking

Packaging Control need to call services outside of the cluster (Printing). For that a firewall rule needs to allow the outgoing traffic from the container to the service.

  • Printing requires TCP
    source port will be random, target port will be the set from the service configuration.

  • Service calls require HTTP(S)
    source port will be random, target port and protocol see Endpoint configuration

If the firewall blocks or drops these connections, features that require these services will not work.

Nexeed modules

The following table describes which additional modules from the Nexeed Industrial Application System (IAS) and/or Nexeed Manufacturing Execution System (MES) must be available for Packaging Control to ensure minimum to maximum functionality.

Module

Mandatory

Required resources

Resources

Comments

key store and trust store

keys and certificates required for mTLS,
By default, TLS is used only for outbound requests. Additional manual configuration is required to use incoming TLS between the input controller and the module itself.

Service Mesh

The communication between the reverse proxy and the Packaging Control microservice instances of paco-service should be secured by a service mesh. The service mesh must be provided by the operator of the environment.
