Adding data points

A data point is a measurable value of an asset that can be represented numerically and graphically. Examples of a data point are temperature or pressure. You can add data points to a data source to collect the data for example from a control unit. In the next step, you have to link the data points of a data source with the respective variables of an aspect.

Requirement

  • You have created a data source.

Procedure

To add a data point to a data source, for example, "RotationSpeed", follow these steps:

  1. Click on the asset in the "Assets" tab, for example, "Wind turbine".
  2. Click on the plugin icon "MindConnect Lib" to open the MindConnect LIB plugin.
  3. Find the data source you want to add a data point to.
  4. Click "Add data point".
  5. Enter the data point data.

Note

The data types specified here will need to match exactly with the aspects and variables. If they are different, the variable cannot be mapped to the data point.

6.Click "Save".

Result

The new data point is available at the data source.
