Data provisioning to Insights Hub IoT Data Model

Login to the Insights Hub with your credentials.

Note: As a prerequisite, an agent asset (Industrial Edge) should be created from the Asset Manager and asset status should be onboarded.

For data provisioning, there are three main steps:

  • System Apps Configuration for Data Provisioning
  • Custom Apps Configuration for Data Provisioning
  • Monitoring Configuration for Data Provisioning from the Monitor

System Apps Configuration for Data Provisioning

To enable SINUMERIK EDGE for data provisioning the system application SinumerikAdapter must be installed and activated on the device. For more details how to do that please refere to the chapter Enable access to SINUMERIK NCU.

Custom Apps Configuration for Data Provisioning

1) For data provisioning, a custom application should be installed to SINUMERIK Edge. First, find your onboarded asset and click the New Application button.

2) Select your custom application, select its release version and confirm the Accept Terms and Conditions. Finally, click the Save button. This operation will trigger downloading the app to SINUMERIK Edge.

3) On the "Jobs" tab, in the "Installation" section, the application downloading status can be seen. Also by clicking the Refresh button in the "Job" tab, the updated status can be seen. If the Status is "ACTIVATED", it means that the downloading operation is over.

4) After the "ACTIVATED" Status, go back to the "App Management" tab, click the Refresh button. Your custom application can be seen in the "App Management" tab.

image

5) To install the application that you downloaded, on the "App Management" tab click the Install button.

image

6) On the "Jobs" tab, in the "Configure" section, the application installation status can be seen. Also by clicking the Refresh button in the "Job" tab, the updated status can be seen. If the Status is "CONFIGURED" and the message is "OK", it means that the installing operation is over.

8) On the “App Management” tab, the related application's status should be “RUNNING” afterwards.

image

9) On the "Jobs" tab, the application's starting status can be seen. Also by clicking the Refresh button in the "Job" tab, the updated status can be seen. If the Status is "CONFIGURED", it means that the installing operation is over.

10) To be able to send data to Insights Hub through this custom application, the Cloud Upload functionality should be enabled. On the "App Management" tab, click the expand icon on the left side of the application button, then click the Cloud icon from the operations section.

image

11) On the "Jobs" tab, the application's configuring status can be seen. Also by clicking the Refresh button in the "Job" tab, the updated status can be seen. If the Status is "CONFIGURED", it means that the installing operation is over.

image

12) After enabling, the Cloud Upload option should be green and a right/left arrow icon should appeare in the operations options.

Warning

Please disable cloud upload feature of an application before uninstalling.

 

Monitoring Configuration for Data Provisioning from Monitor

A new asset should be created to monitor the data which is sent to the Insights Hub. This asset is different from the first Agent asset. This asset is called Data Owner.

1) To create this new asset, choose the Asset Manager from the Insights Hub Launchpad.

image

2) As a first step an aspect type should be created for visualizing data points. Click Aspects then click the “+” button.

image

3) Fill mandatory fields. Add your variables’ (Data Points’) names from the Add variable button.

image

image

4) When you finish adding all variables click the Save button.

image

5) After the Aspect type, an Asset Type which uses this aspect type should be created. Select Types on the Asset Manager, then click Basic Device.

image

6) In the Basic Device section click the “+” button.

image

7) Fill in the mandatory fields. In the Aspects section select the Aspect that was created in previous section, click the Add button., then click Save.

image

8) This section shows all related information.

image

9) Using this Asset type, a Data Owner will be created. Select Assets on the Asset Manager, then click the "+".

image

10) Select the Asset type that you created in a previous step.

image

11) Fill in the mandatory fields and then click Save.

image

12) After these steps Data Mapping should be configured for your custom application. Choose the Manage MySINUMERIK Edge /App Management from the Insights Hub Launchpad.

image

13) Find your Agent Asset first in the Asset list. On the "App Management" tab, click the expand icon on the left side, then click the arrow button for the "Data Mapping" functionality.

image

14) Click the Pick button to map the "Data Points" of the application with the Data Owner Asset’s Aspects. This operation is mapping between Data Points that are coming from your SINUMERIK device and aspect names that you defined in the Monitor.

image

15) Select the Data Owner Asset that is created previously, then click the Aspect Type dropdown to select your type.

image

16) Select the Aspect Variable for the Data Point.

image

17) As a next step, a mapped Data Point and an Aspect Variable should be shown.

image

18) Continue the same steps to complete all mapping operations for other Data Points too.

image

19) Connect a SINUMERIK machine to SINUMERIK Edge via cable. After that go to the Monitor on the Insights Hub Launchpad.

image

20) Select your Data Owner Asset then click Aspects

image

21) Expand the aspect name to see the data. Check the date/time range for the data.

image

22) Data Point names can be seen when mouse is on graph points.

image

23) Data Graph has Zoom In/Out and Date/Time selection features.
