IIH Essentials is a central data storage for Industrial Edge, connecting you with many
data sources available on the platform.
Using the IIH Essentials Development Kit you can develop apps based on the IIH Essentials and integrate them into Siemens Industrial Edge.
In this repository you can find the following components:
By running the docker compose configuration, an API instance of the IIH Essentials will be started on your machine. This can be used to easily develop and test your application during development. The API specification is available here: API specification. This file needs to be opened locally in a browser.
An image is loaded from Docker Hub, containing these components:
- IIH Essentials -> provides the external interface (REST API) for non-Siemens applications)
- MQTT Broker -> used to transfer data from the simulator to the IIH Essentials
- Data simulator -> simulate simple data like sinus, inc/dec or custom data sequences
- Install Docker
- Install NodeJS (only for running examples)
- Create Docker-Compose file
In order to run the IIH Essentials development kit you need to define and execute a Docker-Compose file. The docker-compose.example.yml is an example Docker-Compose file that can be used to download and run the required docker image(s) of the service(s) that runs in this application example. If you choose to use these, rename the file to docker-compose.yml before proceeding
Clone repository to your computer and switch into the repository:
git clone <repository_url>
cd ./<repository_name>Run the docker compose start command:
docker-compose upAll service images are downloaded from Docker Hub and launched as defined in the docker-compose.yml file.
Use the IIH Essentials UI to configure data connections and structure your data. You can connect simulated tags to variables. This will store the data and offer it through the API, making it available for 3rd party apps to use. To access the IIH Essentials UI open this address in a browser:
http://localhost:4203
Use the Simulation UI to create tags with simulated data that can be connected to IIH Essentials variables. To access the Simulation UI open this address in a browser:
http://localhost:4519
To use the configured tags, the simulation connector needs to be added to IIH Essentials:
The IIH Essentials in the Development Kit is a limited version of the IIH Essentials:
- Data retention: By default, the data is kept for one week. This cannot be changed.
This application example is intended to show how to get access to the IIH Essentials API as an external app. It shows how to create a user, request a token and get assets, tags and time series data from the the IIH Essentials. It is available here: ExampleClient. More details can be found inside the ExampleClient folder.
v1.11.0 - 2024-05-14
When syncing, it is now possible to synchronize aggregated data. E.g. if you have data with high granularity on the edge the device, you might not want to sync all the raw data to the cloud. With this new feature, it is possible to define the cycle and the aggregation algorithm, in which the data should be synced. The data of every variable below will then first be aggregated and consecutively sent to the cloud. Initially released in the 1.10.0, the alarming feature was missing in the backup. With 1.11.0, the alarm data is now also included in the backup.- Bug 3222534: Development kit simulation adapter available

v1.10.0 - 2024-02-05
Alarms can be received from Connectivity Suite connectors. The alarms are saved in "alarm channels", which are configured by selecting the alarm source (connector) and a filter, which alarms should be stored.The stored alarms are provided though the northbound REST API.
A new API route is available which allows data to be published to a connector for a specific variable.The connector then sends this to the corresponding PLC. If the PLC "accepts" the data, it is forwarded the already existing way, via connector, and stored into IIH Essentials.
The time series database was improved with an additional write buffer.This way, write operations can be optimized. It reduces the CPU load by ~20% and reduces wear on the persisting hardware.

v1.9.0 - 2023-12-20
You can transform data before storing using a user defined formula. Multiple data sources can be combined/processed and stored into a variable. Available operators include basic mathematical, comparing, logical and conditional operators.For more Information see the documentation 5.2.2.3.
This feature aligns with the transformations/rules in IIH or Common Configurator. Variables with rules can now be stored in IIH Essentials.
The single and multiple variable pickers have been reworked into an improved variable picker.It features single and multiple variable creation using mass operations and error resolving functionalities.
A overview was added in the settings section to display license relevant resource counts. Currently these are asset attributes i.e variables. The aggregation for OEE offers an option to remove short amounts of unplanned downtime from the machine state analysis.This is necessary because short periods of downtime can be wrongly registered through manual steps in the production (e.g.: The machine operator loads parts into machine).

v1.8.0 - 2023-08-31
IIH Essentials will replace the current name Data Service.When updating from Data Service <=1.7.0 to 1.8.0, the app name will automatically change to IIH Essentials. Everything will continue to work as previously. No further steps are required.
The app path will change to /iih-essentials. The old path /dataservice is deprecated (deprecation date: 2023-08-16) and will be supported for one more year.
Senseye is available as a synchronization destination.The asset model and time-series data can be synced to the AI-powered predictive maintenance and asset intelligence solution.
The raw data read API offers to request multiple variables at once. The time ranges were synchronized among the variables to optimize displaying all variables at once for the same time range.However, other use cases don’t require this. Thus the option to request the variables with independent time ranges was added.

v1.7.0 - 2023-06-22
Backups can be encrypted with a password when being created. Using this, the configuration (including credentials for the databus or clouds) can be secured.The password has to be entered again when the backup file is uploaded. There is no way to restore it without.
Model and data can be synchronized automatically to MindSphere. The synchronization can be configured at any assets, aspects, variables and aggregations and will be inherited to descendants.In Data Service v1.7.0, Insights Hub is available as a possible data destination. In the future, more will be added.
By adding "/bulk" in the API route, you can create multiple objects (aspects, assets, variables, ...) at once.In comparison to creating one object per call, this reduces the time needed to create many objects substantially.

v1.6.0 - 2023-03-31
The blob data type is a type for unstructured data, stored in binary form. It can be used to store data which is not covered by the other supported data types.Unlike other data types the blob data type has an additional optional property "Blob type". It can be used to define the format of the stored data. It is advisable to use a standardised approach such as MIME-types.
Default databus settings (broker url, username, password) can be defined in the Data Service settings.They will be used for all connectors. In the connector configuration, however, these can be overwritten with connector specific ones.
Simatic connectors and Connectivity Suite connectors can be detected automatically and added with just one click.No manual custom connector configuration necessary (although still possible).
The data of a variable can be exportet to CSV for a given timeframe including existing aggregations.This export file can be imported into any other variable.
Thus it can be used to
- initialize a variable with data
- backup/export data in a generic format
- transfer data to another Data Service instance
- ...
It is accessible via https://<IED_IP>/dataservice/#/debug and shows information relevant for the support like component versions and live logs.
Also extended logging can be enabled on a feature basis to get more detailed information if needed.
With Data Service v1.4.0 several technologies have been exchanged to achieve higher performance.An automatic migration was running when installing v1.4.0 or v1.5.0 on top of 1.3.0. This, however, requires Data Service to still have the previeous technologies included.
Starting from v1.6.0 this automatic migration is removed to dispose of the previous technologies. This results in having configuration and data not migrated when installing >= v1.6.0 directly on top of <= v1.3.0. To keep the data in this update case, a backup has to be created before the update and restored after the update.
This does not have an impact on versions starting >= 1.4.0.
The variable configuration has been extended to support an aquisition category including counter configuration.It was previously only available in Performance Insight but has now been moved to Data Service in order to allow these configurations for pre-calculated aggregations, too.
Sensitive information like databus credentials is encrypted and secure.Previous versions of Data Service stored the databus credentials unencrypted on the internal storage. Through the IED file download these could be retrieved. This is now fixed.
Aggregations are not explicitly displayed anymore but accessible through the source variable. (Accessible for retention, preview, etc.) Error messages for backup/restore and IIH mode switch have been extended.Several missing translations habe been added.

- Install IIH Common Configurator and IIH Core in addition to Data Service
- Go to Data Service settings -> Activate IIH mode
- Starting from version 1.5: Automatic migration. No further steps needed.
No need to manually type in connection information
The configuration of assets, aspects and variables has been improved by combining all configurations of each of these objects into a full screen settings view.This is now the single place where all configurations concerning this object can be found.
The storing of data of a variable can be temporarily disabled. Every variable has a check box indicating whether it is currently storing new values.In IIH mode this connects directly to the archive flag of the IIH Configurator.
All APIs of data service are working in both modes, standalone and IIH.Apps relying on APIs that mutate the model now also work with a Data Service in IIH mode (in 1.4 only standalone was working).

v1.4.0 - 2022-08-15
Data Service has been completely rewritten using more suitable technologies to remove bottle necks that couldn’t have been removed otherwise.This gives Data Service a performance multiple times the performance of V1.3.0.
The system info dashboard allows app specific insights into the system metrics: - CPU load - RAM load - Database Size - … Variables can be aggregated before demand when the live values are received.This reduces the performance impact for the calculation as the aggregation is done continuously in the background. When requesting results will be available quickly, even for a month or a year request.
The Data Service can be switched into IIH mode where the model will be retrieved from the IIH and configuration will be possible in IIH configurator. The Data Service itself will be used to store/manage the live data as time-series-data and provide it via the already known API interface.Caution: In version 1.4.0 all existing data will be lost if IIH mode is activated. A automatic migration will be available starting from version 1.5.0.
Connectors using the Connectivity Suite standard are supported by Data Service.
Data Service has a responsive design which allows to being used with different screensizes including mobile devices. UI elements like dialogs can be operated using a keyboard: - Esc closes/cancels an action - Return confirms an action - Tab navigates the elements - First element is focussed automatically The list of default adapters has been extended by: - SLPM - OPC UA - S7+- 1467230 Bug Edit variable dialog displays connection status of a variable without adapter
