Description

Overview

The Industrial Edge Application "Archiving & Visualization Demo" is based on a bottle filling process application from which data values are collected, stored in an InfluxDB database and visualized in a InfluxDB dashboard.

General Task

The Industrial Edge Application "Archiving & Visualization" collects data from an S7-1500 PLC using the OPC UA Connector application. The collected data is automatically published to the Databus which is an internal MQTT broker of the Edge Runtime. The Application uses an MQTT Client (data-collector) to subscribe to the Databus and write these values into an InfluxDB database. The time series of the collected data can then be plotted with InfluxDB dashboards.

You can find the further information about the application here

TIA Project

The used TIA Portal project can be found in the miscellaneous repository in the tank application folder and is also used for several further application examples:

• Tia Tank Application

Helpful tools

• Any development environment (e.g. Visual Studio Code, Eclipse, …)
• Docker Extension for your development environment e.g. Visual Studio Code Extension

Prerequisite

Use OPC UA Connector in bulk publish mode to collect datapoints from the Application example "Tank Application". Name the Data Source "Tank" and select following Datapoints using the Browse functionality:

• GDB_signals_tankSignals_actLevel (Read/100ms)
• GDB_signals_tankSignals_actTemperature (Read/100ms)
• GDB_process_numberProduced (Read/100ms)
• GDB_process_numberFaulty (Read/100ms)
• GDB_hmiSignals_HMI_Nextbottle (Read&Write/100ms)

The Databus is configured with one topic: ie/# username: edge password: edge

In case of browse timeout you can also add the tags manually Click to show/collapse.

• n=3;s="GDB"."signals"."tankSignals"."actLevel"
• n=3;s="GDB"."signals"."tankSignals"."actTemperature"
• n=3;s="GDB"."process"."numberProduced"
• n=3;s="GDB"."process"."numberFaulty"
• n=3;s="GDB"."hmiSignals"."HMI"."NextBottle"
