Extraction

Description

The Extraction screen in Nodum is one of the most important for industrial management, as it allows you to configure and manage all physical devices connected to the system. It is only available on EDGE and ENTERPRISE devices, where direct interaction with industrial hardware at the floor level is required. It is not available in the CLOUD version.

On this screen, all industrial devices are registered by selecting the communication protocol (MQTT, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, OPC S7, OPC UA, with the possibility of developing new protocols). The interface is divided into main tabs:

• Device configuration tab: Allows you to add new devices, edit their parameters, delete existing devices, and select the appropriate protocol. Each device can be configured with specific details such as IP address, port, credentials, and other technical parameters.

• Tag configuration tab: Here, the inputs and outputs (tags) of each device are managed. Tags can be added manually one by one, edited, deleted, or imported in bulk using a CSV file to facilitate mass registration. Each tag can be configured with a name, type, address, and other relevant metadata.

The screen features a side treeView where the hierarchical structure of all devices and their tags is displayed, allowing for easy navigation between them, identifying their status, and quickly accessing their configuration.

Other key functionalities:

• Editing and updating parameters of existing devices and tags.
• Deleting devices and tags if necessary.
• Immediate notifications about the success or failure of registration, editing, or deletion processes.
• Access to historical reports of configurations and changes made.

Note: Real-time monitoring of devices and signals is performed exclusively on the Debug screen.

Supported Protocols

Nodum EDGE offers native connectivity with a wide range of industrial protocols to ensure integration with your existing hardware.

• MQTT: The main protocol for internal communication and integration with third-party systems.
• Modbus TCP: One of the most widespread protocols for communication with a wide range of industrial devices.
• Ethernet/IP: Rockwell Automation (Allen-Bradley) standard for PLCs and other control equipment.
• OPC UA (Unified Architecture): A modern, secure, and interoperable standard for industrial communication.
• OPC S7 (Siemens S7): For direct communication with the Siemens S7 family of PLCs.

Important: The Sciodesk team has the capability to develop new protocol connectors on demand to meet specific integration needs.

Availability by version

• ENTERPRISE: All features enabled.
• EDGE: All features enabled.
