Introduction

Concepts

Signals module of AIH handles signal data and channels. AIH standardizes and systematically stores IoT data, including time series of sensors and controllers data. Standardization complies to IEC 61400-25 series of standards, which allows for an effective data exchange and analysis between data owners and thier partners.

Creating channels for signals data upload

This feature gives the users an opportunity to create and configure channels for signals. This is a necessary step for working with gathered Signals data in a more structured and efficient way. Why? In order to upload signals data into AIH, it is necessary to know how they are set up in the system, i.e., which asset they are linked to, what is their aggregation level or measurement unit, etc.. This setup is ensured via channel object.

Download Channels List

In order to upload signals data into AIH in a bulk, it is convenient to download the list of all configured channels. The signal data owners, who are going to upload the signal data into AIH, can see all available channels and use the channel numbers when uploading signals data.

Designation of Channels

In order to link a channel to a specific asset assetReferences attribute is used. The user must specify a main system and can add the corresponding design object, e.g., designate to a function aspect that performs speed conversion function within chosen design.

Upload Signals data

It is possible to upload signals data in a bulk both manually and automatically (via API). Data upload supports the upload functionality. Once the data is uploaded to the system, it is processed and stored in a tabular format, which allows to quickly retrieve any signal data. AIH DP is used in order to host and run the model used for processing uploaded files with signal data and upload the processed ones into the Signals API.
