TF3520 | TwinCAT 3 Analytics Storage Provider

The TwinCAT 3 Analytics Storage Provider is an IoT client and forms the interface for raw and analysis data from various sources to one or more storages or to one or more databases. The data are deposited in the storage as a binary blob. A Microsoft SQL database and the TwinCAT Analytics binary file are supported for on-premises solutions. Both are usable in cloud applications; an Azure Blob Storage can also be used natively in the cloud. The data selection for the read and write direction takes place centrally via the TwinCAT Target Browser in the TwinCAT Engineering environment. The user selects the data via the self-defined variable name in the machine application and the corresponding time period; complex SQL commands are not necessary. The sources for the historical data can be the TF3500 TwinCAT 3 Analytics Logger, the TF6720 TwinCAT 3 IoT Data Agent and the EK9160 IoT Bus Coupler. In addition to the engineering tools TE3500 TwinCAT 3 Analytics Workbench and TE3520 TwinCAT 3 Analytics Service Tool, the recipients of the data are the two runtime products TF3550 TwinCAT 3 Analytics Runtime and TF3551 TwinCAT 3 Analytics Runtime Base.
