Containers
Data containers for collecting data from SEW-EURODRIVE devices and device options are added and configured under the "Containers" tab. The list of containers displayed in the tab also contains initially preconfigured containers of some standard use cases.
The containers are used, for example, to determine among other things the linked devices (assignment of device groups, no individual devices), the data type (parameter or scope data), the update strategy (cyclical or triggered), the entered parameters or recording channels, and the endpoints for saving the data. The software can run several containers in parallel.
Each event is published separately in a JSON file. Each container type has its own JSON file format, and a separate directory is created at the specified endpoint (storage location) for each instance of the software. The JSON files are assigned to the structure via a generated ID. Information on the collected data volume at field level (OT network) and the transferred data volume (IT network) is displayed below the container list.
