Supervisor

The Rubix Platform CE (Computer Edition) application enables the setup and programming of multiple instances of Rubix OS. Each customer has their own instance of Rubix OS, which can be running either in the cloud or on-premises. This setup allows users of Rubix CE to engineer multiple sites or devices simultaneously.

Administrators have the ability to generate multiple tokens for each site-specific customer. Additionally, they can revoke access for a specific customer from a site by revoking the corresponding token. For detailed instructions, please refer to the section on 'Generating a Token'.

Before starting you need the following:
  1. Nube iO Cloud Account.
  2. And/Or Nube iO Rubix Compute.
