“Structural entity data. This part of the data typically represents the setup of the control system (from which the OPC-UA data is sourced). You could think of this as the equipment and sensor breakdown structure which helps understand the context of sensors and events. CDF Data Modeling is a good destination for this part of the data.”
In one of the Hub Items, I noticed a suggestion to store Entity data in FDM. My question is, how do I use OPC-UA extractor to push data into FDM instead of Asset Hierarchy model which it does today?
Is there any documentation I can refer to?
Please note, this question is not for TimeSeries or events but only context data into FDM
Hi Jatin,
@Elka Sierra @Jørgen Lund
I’ve engaged with the product manager for PI extractors to look at implementing support for writing metadata to a different destination target than the Time Series service itself. So it becomes possible to write metadata either to FDM, or RAW for example.
As we implement support for Time Series as a ‘first class’ type in FDM, I think it will become a common pattern in the future to write the metadata to FDM, and the datapoints to Time Series.
What you’re asking here I think is an extension of this capability, where the OPC-UA extractor also populates FDM with the entity types (i.e. assets) and the relationships between them, in addition to metadata about individual time series. Is that correct?
Hi@Jatin Sablok , would you be able to provide some details as requested above?
Hi@Carin Meems , I think we have enough information to promote this to a Product Idea.
Hi@Glen Sykes , sure, I’ll change it then!
