ThingWorx
 template and shape mapping rules

FactoryTalk Edge Gateway
 node properties map to properties inherited from a
ThingWorx
 template or shape. If the node uses a
ThingWorx
 template or shape but contains properties that are not in the
ThingWorx
 template or shape,
FactoryTalk Edge Gateway
 creates the corresponding properties on the target Thing.
To achieve correct property mapping across properties, set these properties in
ThingWorx
 Composer.
  • Base Thing Template
    - Select
    Remote Thing
    .
    The
    Base Thing Template
    setting can be another
    ThingWorx
     template or shape if the underlying
    ThingWorx
     template or shape is based on a remote Thing.
  • Name
     - Name of the property. The name must match the
    FactoryTalk Edge Gateway
     property name exactly.
  • Base Type
    -
    Select the base type (data type). The base type must match the data type of the
    FactoryTalk Edge Gateway
     property.
