Use the real-time data collection module in AICS-brainindustrial(Industrial Intelligence)-阿里云帮助中心

Create a channel

Log on to Industrial Data mid-end IGate.
On the Channel Management page, click Create Channel in the upper-right corner.

A channel is the data source for data points. If you do not use IGate to actively collect data, you do not need to add a channel. Instead, you can use the default platform channel to report data via an API. All data points for a single device must come from the same channel.

Parameter	Description
Channel Code	The unique identifier for the channel. It can contain letters, numbers, and underscores. The maximum length is 64 characters.
Channel Name	The name of the channel. The channel name must be unique within your account. It supports Chinese characters, English letters, Japanese characters, numbers, and underscores. The maximum length is 64 characters. A Chinese or Japanese character counts as two characters.
Protocol Type	Protocol Type ModBusTCP OPC UA OPC DA 2.0, among others
Description	A description of the channel. The maximum length is 120 characters.
Protocol-specific configuration	The configuration varies based on the selected protocol type. For example, if you select ModBusTCP, you must configure an IP address and port. If you select OPC UA, you must configure a namespace, username, and password.

Import a device and data point template

On the Device Templates page in Device Management, click Import Device Template in the upper-right corner. Then, click Download Template.

Edit the device and data point template file. Then, drag the file to the upload area.

Create a device

On the Device List page in Device Management, click Create Device in the upper-right corner. Enter the device configuration and click Save.

Parameter	Description
Device Code	The unique identifier for the device. It can contain letters, numbers, and underscores. The maximum length is 64 characters.
Device Name	The name of the device. The device name must be unique within your account. It supports Chinese characters, English letters, Japanese characters, numbers, and underscores. The maximum length is 64 characters. A Chinese or Japanese character counts as two characters.
Gateway Configuration	Select the gateway you created. For edge devices, only the local gateway is available by default.
Channel Configuration	Select the channel you created.
Description	Enter a description of up to 100 characters for the channel.
Collection Frequency (Time Interval)	The unit is milliseconds (ms). If a collection frequency is not set for a data point and the data point is enabled, data is collected at this frequency. The default frequency is 5000 ms.
Device Template	Select an existing device template. After the device is created, data points that match the list in the device template are automatically added to the device.
Source Device Code	The device code in the source system that connects to IGate. The maximum length is 64 characters. It supports only English letters, numbers, and underscores (_). It must start with a letter.

Add a data point

On the Device List page in Device Management, select a device and click View Data Points to go to the data point list page. On the data point list page, select the Real Data Point or Parameter Data Point tab. Then, click Add Real Data Point or Add Parameter Data Point.

Parameter	Description
Data Point Type	Real data point: A data point that corresponds to a physical sensor. Parameter data point: A non-physical data point used to provide parameters for algorithm services.
Data Point Code	The code defined in IGate. This is different from the source point concept. It can contain letters, numbers, and underscores. It cannot start with a number. The maximum length is 64 characters. The code must be unique for each device.
Data Point Name	The name of the data point. The name must be unique for each device. It supports Chinese characters, English letters, Japanese characters, numbers, and underscores. The maximum length is 64 characters. A Chinese or Japanese character counts as two characters.
Read/Write Type	Read-only: The data point can only be read. For example, a temperature value collected by a temperature sensor. Read/write: The data point can be read from and written to. For example, the gear value of a motor. Write-only: The data point can only be written to. For example, the temperature setpoint for a high-temperature fan.
Data Type	The data type of the collected value. For example, Boolean, integer, long integer, string, double-precision floating-point, and single-precision floating-point.
Source Point	The point code in the source system that connects to IGate. For example, a tag number in a Distributed Control System (DCS). There are no format restrictions.
Unit	The unit of the collected value.
Collection Frequency	The collection frequency for the data point. This setting has a higher priority than the device's collection frequency.
Upper Limit	The maximum value that can be written to a read/write data point. Write attempts that exceed this value are ignored.
Lower Limit	The minimum value that can be written to a read/write data point. Write attempts below this value are ignored.
Write Protection	For read/write data points, this switch enables or disables protection based on the upper and lower limits.
Cloud data transfer configuration	Enabled by default. When enabled, time series data from the data point on the edge is synchronized to the cloud.
Description	A description of the data point. The maximum length is 128 characters.
Alerting Rule	If the data point matches this rule during reporting, an alert notification is sent.
