Connectors [08-08-2024]
FIXED:
ADDED:
Creating Connectors
- Currently, Gateways can only be added under the 'Base(root) Organization'. There is now a 'house' icon on the base organization and a tooltip that identifies the instance as the base organization.
- Currently, the Gateway-Connector relationship is one to one: you can only create one connector per gateway. This is now enforced in the UI.
- The (+) button on a connector has been removed: you cannot 'add' anything to a connector.
Connectors [06-12-2024]
FIXED:
Back-fill
- In the Backfill dialog, the 'play' button has been removed. The backfill dates gets set as soon as the user makes a date change (no need to push a play button).
- Selecting single tags using the checkbox and the single 'Move Selected' button now works correctly.

FIXED:
Back-fill
- Backfilling Data: The Arrow button to move a single tag from Historized Tags to Back-fill Tags did not work when selecting only one tag. This has been fixed.
Creating Connector
- The 'Generate Code' button was throwing a console error. This has been fixed.
Connectors [09-21-2023]
FIXED:
- The Windows connector install was issuing an erroneous firewall warning during installation. This has been fixed.
- Connectors are now created in the Model Explorer. Instances of these items are derived from new Gateway and Connector types in the ThinkIQ Base Library. These new types are located under 'Data Source' on the Types tab of the Model Explorer.
- As before, connectors (the connection between the on-premise computer and the data source) are created under gateways (the connection between the on-premise computer and the ThinkIQ platform in the cloud).
- Read the updated documentation on gateways and connectors.
Connectors [2-08-2022]
ADDED:
OPC/UA
- Tag measurement units and min/max values are updated when they are are available from the source, eliminating manual work to configure tag measurement units and data ranges.
Connectors [12-14-2021]
CHANGED:
OPC UA
- Improved the measurement units in the base library and updated the OPC UA connector to allow importing UNECE common measurement units
Connectors [11-02-2021]
ADDED:
- Improved time series data ingestion, which improves the accuracy of live data analytics.
OPC/UA
- Improved granularity of data retrieved and stored from OPC UA Servers
Connectors [09-28-2021]
ADDED:
- Data can now be written from the cloud to a device (such as a PLC) on premises. This implements a closed loop system meaning that analytics can be done in the cloud with data from many systems across the supply chain. The results of the analytics can be fed back into a production system.
OPC/UA
- The OPC UA Connector browses for references and saves them in node set files.
- The OPC UA North Service is already capable of sending node set files. So, these reference files are served up to the OPC UA Server.
- The OPC UA Server is enhanced to hydrate the namespace, including references.
- On upgrade, we maintain the same variables with original node ids. The correct parents are set up for all nodes.
- Attributes published through OPC UA Server have more usable browse name of <relative_name>_<id>
Connectors [08-26-2021]
ADDED:
- The OPC UA connector can now connect to OPC UA servers, browse and send data to the ThinkIQ server
-
OPC UA Clients, like one of the FLEDGE plug-ins, can browse to ThinkIQ server and subscribe to live data from a configured list of equipment attributes.
-
The ThinkIQ OPC UA North Service can now operate over the HTTPs protocol using secure sockets, in addition to OPC TCP protocol, to send data to the ThinkIQ server in the cloud. The https protocol runs on port 443, which is more likely to be opened than other ports. If it is, it would not require customers to open an extra port and hence speed up connector configuration.
Connectors [05-17-2021]
ADDED:
- Tag groups with dead band and upload rate configurable
Connectors [04-20-2021]
ADDED:
- Ability to change filter/sampling rate of tags
Connectors [02-03-2021]
ADDED:
Mulit OS Gateway
- Third party ability to build custom connectors running on any OS providing time series data to ThinkIQ platform.
- Time series data flow health indicator
- Data integrity through system reset (shutdown/start up)
