Objective

By the end of this guide, you will understand how to create a Data Model in FrameworX, utilizing Data Templates, Asset Tree, and Data Explorer tools, and how to integrate External Tag Providers for a comprehensive data management solution.

Prerequisites

  • Basic understanding of FrameworX platform.

  • Familiarity with data modeling concepts.

  • Access to FrameworX version 10.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Creating Data Templates:

    • Navigate to Unified Namespace → Data Templates.

    • Use 'New' to create a User Data Type (UDT) for structuring data.

    • Define properties (variables) in the UDT for your data model.

  2. Working with the Asset Tree:

    • Go to Unified Namespace → Asset Tree.

    • Create new asset folders and tags as needed.

    • Organize tags and assets hierarchically for easy navigation.

  3. Leveraging Data Explorer Tools:

    • Utilize Data Explorer for visualizing and managing your data model.

    • Explore tags and assets, and modify properties directly from the tool.

  4. Integrating External Tag Providers:

    • Add External Tags Sources for integrating data from external systems.

    • Configure connections to external data sources like InfluxDB, MQTT, OPC UA, etc.

    • Map external data to your Unified Namespace.

Tips and Best Practices

  • Use clear and consistent naming conventions for tags and assets.

  • Regularly update and refine your data templates to reflect system changes.

  • Utilize the Asset Tree for logical grouping of data points.

Troubleshooting

  • If data from external sources is inconsistent, check the configuration of your External Tags Sources.

  • For performance issues, review the organization of your data model and optimize tag usage.
