Data Mappers

Data Mappers serve as collections that group related data together. For example: a Data Mapper could represent a single machine. They act as an intermediary between different Connectors—although different connectors can also communicate directly.

Transformations

Data Mappers are also able to transform data if needed—eg. convert to a different engineering unit or turn alarm codes into meaningful texts. After selecting one or more data mapper properties as input and the output datatype, a JavaScript editor allows you to convert the inputs into one output using JavaScript. This allows you to make calculations or aggregations, convert data types, make model mappings, etc. Each time one of the input value changes, the script is called.

Creating a Data Mapper

You can create a Data Mapper by pressing the red button in the top right corner of the Data Mapper tab.
