Connecting Data
Model your plant hierarchy, configure adapters, and define tags for telemetry ingestion.
Connecting Data covers everything from ISA-95 modeling through live device connections. Data flows from field adapters into NATS and appears in the UNS, rules, and dashboards.
What you'll do
- Create plants, machines, and devices
- Pick an adapter and connection settings
- Define tags (manually, CSV, or OPC UA browse)
