Data Forwarding


To forward the connected data to a third-party system or platform using EnOS Edge, you need to select the forwarding model points and set the forwarding connections based on your actual needs.

EnOS Edge currently supports forwarding data to a third party, and supports the third party sending control commands to sub-devices using the following protocols:

  • IEC104

  • ModbusTCP

  • ModbusRTU

  • DNP3.0

Before You Start

Ensure that the Edge device is connected to the EnOS. For more information, see Connecting Edge Devices to EnOS.

Step 1：Add a Connection

  1. Go to Edge Management > Edge Details > Forwarding.

  2. Click a tab according to your protocol to add a connection for data forwarding.

  3. Add a connection for data forwarding.

Step 2：Add a Device

  1. Click the created connection to expand it and click New Device.

  2. In the “Add Device” page, select devices to be forwarded based on models and products, and the associated forwarding templates.

  3. Click Save.

Step 3：Edit a Device

  1. Click to expand the connection you just created. Click Edit in the device line.

  2. In the pop-up window, edit the sub-device number Index to change the offset or register address range based on the following automatic calculation method:

    • For the data forwarding using IEC104 protocol, EnOS Edge automatically calculates the offset for every type of the points according to the sub-device number and the associated forwarding templates.

    • For the data forwarding using Modbus protocol, EnOS Edge automatically generates the register address range of each function code for the sub-device according to the starting register address of each function code, the sub-device number and the associated forwarding templates.

    Note

    The numbers are unique under the same forwarding connection.

Step 4: Creat Forwarding Point File

Click to expand the connection you just created. Click Creat Point File button, and auto-creat forwarding point file and point number

Step 5：Edit Forwarding Point File

After creating forwarding point file, you can customize and modify the forwarding point number

Step 6: Publish

Click the Publish button at the bottom of the page to distribute the configuration information to the EnOS Edge device as a resource package.
