DeviceHub

overview the devicehub module allows you to connect devices to manufacturing connect edge, as well as add register values as tags for data polling devicehub can work with devices by most major manufacturers, such as siemens, allen bradley, hitachi, and so on it includes device specific drivers (serial, ethernet, socketcan, and file based) for complete information about the supported devices/drivers, see the industrial systems connection guide docid\ yq2itusjpvlgks50krq1r devicehub high level architecture drivers collect register information from plc devices (and other industrial assets) the specific register of each unique plc is recognized as manufacturing connect edge tags register information is stored in tags, and these tags are published as topics to the internal message broker you have the option of saving data in the internal datastore by selecting the enable data store option with a specific retention time once you have added a tag to a connected device, manufacturing connect edge polls that tag for data with the frequency you selected the system normalizes the polled data and posts it to the internal message broker you can then subscribe to the data available from the message broker for processing, visualization, and analysis you can access the devicehub module by selecting devicehub from the navigation panel refer to the following resources devices docid 8mk2pe4wy wu7adeqbonr add/connect devices to manufacturing connect edge manage the connected devices with actions such as edit, refresh, and stop/start optionally, add custom metadata to devices in the form of key/value pairs tags docid\ abapj6eptsfmnutzfqbtk add tags individually, in bulk, or by browsing a connected device manage tags with actions such as modify, view, and copy device discovery (network) docid\ rxp6twsxkdoczrhtqtcge enable/disable the discovery mode when discovery mode is enabled, manufacturing connect edge allows you to view devices on the network it is connected to utilities docid\ ourwzjjassyzq7paqk9zi test connectivity of ip addresses and accessibility of specific ports devicehub guides docid\ egtfvc2ux4vw9bcua7cl7 review use cases to leverage different functionalities within devicehub devicehub troubleshooting docid\ tp9zk wvavk59tluyrspc
