Configure Data Collection Properties

When configuring an application, set data collection properties for individual tags and tags bound to models.
Child nodes in a model can inherit the data collection properties from the parent node.
TIP:
When you use two or more types of models in an application and one of them is Device Discovery type or when you select two or more tags and one or more of them is Device Discovery type, then the Update rate in the Properties pane will be as applicable for a Device Discovery model.
To configure data collection properties for Device Discovery model
  2. Set these parameters:
    • Overwrite parent value
      . Select
      On
       to overwrite the data collection properties of the parent node.
    • Data collection.
       Select
      On
       to collect data.
    • Update rate
      . Defines the rate at which updates are performed. The default
      Update rate
       is
      10 seconds
      . The possible update rate values are:
      • 10 seconds
      • One minute
      • Two minutes
      • Five minutes
        TIP:
        You can select
        Update rate
        for complete model only. This setting is inactive for nodes or tags in a Device Discovery model. All nodes and tags under that selected model will inherit this settings from that model.
    • Update type
      . Defines the type of update performed for the individual or bound tag. The possible update types are:
      Polling
      and
      On change
      .
      Select
      Polling
       to collect tag data at the set update rate. Select
      On change
       to collect data when the tag value changes. The values are checked for changes at the set update rate.
      TIP:
      You can select
      Update type
      for complete model only. This setting is inactive for nodes or tags in a Device Discovery model. All nodes and tags under that selected model will inherit this settings from that model.
To configure data collection properties for Azure or MSSQL or
ThingWorx
  2. Set these parameters:
    • Overwrite parent value
      . Select
      On
       to overwrite the data collection properties of the parent node.
    • Data collection.
       Select
      On
       to collect data.
    • Update rate
      . Defines the rate at which updates are performed. The possible update rate values are:
      • 500 milliseconds
      • One second
      • Two seconds
      • Five seconds
      • 10 seconds
      • One minute
      • Two minutes
      • Five minutes
        TIP:
        When you use two or more types of models in an application and one of them is Device Discovery type or when you select two or more tags and one or more of them is Device Discovery type, then the Update rate in the Properties pane will be as applicable for a Device Discovery model.
    • Update type
      . Defines the type of update performed for the individual or bound tag. The possible update types are:
      Polling
      and
      On change
      .
      Select
      Polling
       to collect tag data at the set update rate. Select
      On change
       to collect data when the tag value changes. The values are checked for changes at the set update rate.
To configure data collection properties for Drive/IMC data source
  2. Set these parameters:
    • Overwrite parent value
      . Select
      On
       to overwrite the data collection properties of the parent node.
    • Data collection.
       Select
      On
       to collect data.
    • Update rate
      . Defines the rate at which updates are performed. The possible update rate values are:
      • 500 milliseconds
      • One second
      • Two seconds
      • Five seconds
      • 10 seconds
      • One minute
      • Two minutes
      • Five minutes
        TIP:
        The correct way to setup Update rate for Drive/IMC Device is to multiply number of tags/parameters by 100ms and select rate greater than this value.
        For Example:
         When you want to collect 50 parameters or symbolic tags using “Drive/IMC Device” data source, each tag will have timestamp delayed by 100ms. So, the last tag will have timestamp delayed by 5sec compared to first tag (50 * 100ms = 5sec).
        So, in such case, it is not recommended to select Update rate quicker than 5sec when configuring application (500msec, 1 sec, 2sec) because some of tags will not be updated and you will see quality ‘24' error (after 30sec - quality '8’).
    • Update type
      . Defines the type of update performed for the individual or bound tag. The possible update types are:
      Polling
      and
      On change
      .
      Select
      Polling
       to collect tag data at the set update rate. Select
      On change
       to collect data when the tag value changes. The values are checked for changes at the set update rate.

    • InfluxDB Measurement:
       You can assign InfluxDB Measurement name to single node of FTEG model. When you select a single node, you can assign additional information attribute "
      InfluxDB Measurement
      ".
    • InfluxDB Tags
      : You can assign FTEG property to "field" or "tag". Select the
      InfluxDB Tags
       checkbox in the property pane if property to be used as “tag”. Unselected the
      InfluxDB Tags
       checkbox to map value of FTEG property to InfluxDB "field".
