In thingworx, the following functionality is available:
- Automatically generate the Thingmodel based on the AF from Pi. Generation can be recursive (meaning create a thing for each element in the AF structure) or flat, meaning that you only go one level deep.
- Automatically update the properties values based on the latest OSIPi data.
OsiPiWebConnectorThingTemplate: Responsable for connecting to OSIPi, and doing basic requestsOsiPiWebTransformerThing: Handles transforming the OSiPi data into an infotable, as well as generating the Thingmodel based on that infotable.- The flat method also looks at the tagId for each property, and includes it in the property name.
- The generated property descriptions contains essential information about the property, linking it to OsiPi. It cannot be manually modified.
OsiPiWebThingShape: ThingShape that marks all the OSIPi exported elements. A service is availalbe on each allowing the automatic property updatesOsiPiUpdaterScheduler: Automatically updates all properties of all things marked with the above thingshape.
