1

Connect the data source to the network

If not already done, establish a network connection between the data source and the Edge Device. See Integration scenarios for the available options.

2

Create the data source

Open the ENLYZE Manufacturing Data Platform, select the machine you want to add the data source to, and click + Data source.

Enter the device details first. For the "Device information" free-text field, use the CPU model.

Then enter all connection details and save them.

Entering connection details

4

Add variables

The S7+ protocol supports Variable Discovery, so variables are added automatically. The first Variable Discovery run is triggered as soon as connection details are saved.

To take over exactly the variables the HMI device shows, you can select them from the HMI configuration, including display name and unit.

After Variable Discovery completes, no data is being recorded yet. You first need to select the variables to record. Follow our variable onboarding flow.
