The units and data types specified here will need to match exactly with the
aspects and variables. If they are different, the aspect cannot be connected to the
data point.
The protocol datatypes specify the Datapoint Address. You can find additional
information on protocol datatypes in the chapter Overview of supported
protocols for MindConnect Nano.
“Data Acquisition Mode” defines the access type of datapoint. There are three
acquisition types; “READ”, “WRITE” and “READ&WRITE”. To write data to a
datapoint, “WRITE” or “READ&WRITE” type needs to be selected. Default value is
“READ”.
It is possible to use hysteresis value in this field. This reduces the number of read
events. The hysteresis filters signals and reduces the response to short-term
signal fluctuations. The maximum value for hysteresis can be 99999 to
minimum as 0.001.
6.Confirm with "Accept". 7.To save the added data point in "Edit Mode" click "Save".
Result
The new data point is available at the data source.
In order to send the changes to the device, you have to click "Apply Changes" in the
MindConnect plugin.
The following graphic shows the health status of the new data point:
3.6 Mapping an aspect to a data source for MindConnect Nano
Data mapping means matching variables of an aspect with the respective data points of a data
source.
Variables of an aspect represent the Industrial IoT data.
