Introduction 

This Tutorial will introduce the concept of TagProvider, which allows tagless connections with external and dynamics data sources. 

In this application, we will connect to a MQTT Broker and create an example of Seft-Aware-SCADA, or DynamicDisplays, which are adaptive the the data source, meaning the exactly same display will show data from different assets based on the selected asset from the remote source. 

Configuration Outline

Basic Outline:

Pick
  1. Create a
template with the header/menu already there for a better look quickly
  1. New Solution using the HeaderLayout template.
  2. Start MQTT Simulator, at DatatExplorer
  3. Connect to MQTT Simulator, at DataExplorer
  4. Map tags from
"Hello Factory!" automatically
  1.  automatically for a dynamic reference, at TagProviders
  2. Create a screen with:
    1. Asset Tree
    2. Trend Chart
    3. Some Smart Symbols with #'s and visuals to see quantity and state

Bonus - Advanced Steps:

  1. Add a space for Smart Symbols (Depending on what's found in the asset tree)
  2. Add code to auto-create Smart Symbol layout
  3. Enjoy a Smart Solution with a Dynamic Display!

Using the Data Explorer

ToolsThe DataExplorer tools allow you to easily perform data mining and monitoring from various data sources, including MQTT Brokers, OPC-UA, PLCs and SQL databases. Here, let's see how you can connect to our MQTT Simulator to browse its data.

MQTT Tools

Go to Data Explorer → MQTT Tools to start. You can connect to your own broker, if you wish, but our system has a native SpartkplugB MQTT Built-In Broker that you can use.

Out platform also offers a MQTT Publisher Simulator, that has customizable data being published. Simply click both of the green "start" buttons to start the Broker and Simulator.
