REST API
The documentation for the REST API can be found in the Downloads section “Application note” from the specific product site at phoenixcontact.com
Data integration with virtual EMpro
You can easily try out how the REST API interface works using a virtual device: https://www.empro.phoenixcontact.com/
The software application is making requests to virtual EMpro. Then, receiving JSON documents from virtual EMpro.
Requests to the virtual Empro (in the wide are network (WAN)) are identical to the requests to the physical instances of EMpro (in the local area network (LAN)) except for the addressing.
Instead of "https://www.empro.phoenixcontact.com/", the IP address of a device must be used for the URL addressing of a real device.
