Machine details

Click on the symbol to list the machine details of a machine.

Here you can view the real-time values, output messages, control values, meta data and configured connections. You also have the option of resetting the machine, editing the machine template and version and viewing the linked dashboards.

Real-time values

The latest values output by the machine are listed under the "Real-time values" tab. The respective value and timestamp are listed next to the name of the sensor or actuator. This allows you to monitor the current status and performance of the machine in real time.

Alerting

In addition to the setting options, which are also available in the machine template, you can activate or deactivate the alarming for each machine here. Alerting can also be deactivated on a temporary basis.

Messages

Existing machine messages are listed under the "Messages" tab. These can be warnings, error messages or other important information generated by the machine. This helps you to stay informed about all important events and statuses of the machine.

Control values

Under the "Control values" tab, you can display the machine's control values. These values represent the current settings or commands that are sent to the machine to control its operations. This allows you to monitor the control of the machine and adjust it if necessary.

Meta data

Under the "Meta data" tab, the meta data of the machine is displayed. This can contain information such as the machine type, date of manufacture, location and other relevant details.

Connection

Under the "Connection" tab, you can view and edit the connection settings of the machines. This allows you to manage the communication between the machine and the network.

Security

Under the "Security" tab, you can reset the machine (delete all measured values and messages). In addition to a complete reset, a reset up to a certain point in time can also be carried out.

Machine template

The machine template currently assigned to the machine is displayed under the "Machine template" tab. You can select a new template and select the version. This allows you to change the configuration of the machine quickly and efficiently.

Dashboard template

The "Dashboard template" tab shows the dashboard template in which the machine is linked. In addition to the dashboard type of the dashboard template, the name, link, associated company and comment can also be displayed. This gives you an overview of the machine's dashboard configuration.

Edit

Click on to open a new dialog window. The machine can be assigned to a router here. The location of the machines can also be specified.
