Configuration
All initial configurations for devices in the solutions on the software platform encompass the following workflow:
Defining a Channel using a target communication Protocol creates the base instance for linking a Node. Learn more at Devices - Channels.
Defining the Node linked to the created Channel. Learn more at Devices - Nodes.
Defining the Point that you would like to monitor. Learn more at Devices - Points.
Protocols define communication rules between the platform and devices. Channels define global parameters for using a communication protocol. Nodes represent physical field devices (like a PLC) or database with a unique field address (PrimaryStation). Points represent tags within a devicefrom database. Additionally, AccessType defines how the device interacts with the platform (Read and/or Write). Learn more atDevices - AccessType.
