The signal that has to be recorded can be configured by specifying pin type (analog/digital) and
the pin number as it is printed on SIMATIC I/O shield device. For the analog inputs, the read
value corresponds to a percentage value between 0 and 1. The percentage value refers to the
permissible voltage range between 0-10 V. The read value must be converted accordingly for the
connected sensor.
Following inputs can be chosen:
Input Pin type Pin number Recommended data type
AI0 Analog 0 DOUBLE
AI1 Analog 1 DOUBLE
AI2 Analog 2 DOUBLE
AI3 Analog 3 DOUBLE
DI0 Digital 0 BOOLEAN
DI1 Digital 1 BOOLEAN
DI2 Digital 2 BOOLEAN
DI3 Digital 3 BOOLEAN
DI4 Digital 4 BOOLEAN
4.7 Overview of SYSTEM protocol for MindConnect IoT2040
You can use the protocol SYSTEM to implement a system information adapter for analysis
purposes. The SYSTEM protocol can collect the following information from MindConnect
IoT2040:
Overall CPU load
Overall memory consumption
Network traffic
Application specific data
CPU load memory consumption
Disk usage
You can choose the SYSTEM protocol as a data source without configuring specific system
parameters, except the reading cycle.
After creating the data source you can configure the following categories in a new data point:
