Glossary

In the SmartDataCollector, a metadata that can be assigned to a device to describe the application, in which a device is used (e.g. rotary table) based on its motion task

Data object that is present in binary form and is usually very large. One example of an established data storage for BLOBs is the Microsoft’s Azure Blob Storage, which can be selected as an endpoint in the SmartDataCollector.

Network of interconnected servers that provide a pool of combined computing power. The servers can be used to store and process data and to execute application programs or services without having to save or install them on your own local company computer or in your own company network.

In the SmartDataCollector, a menu, in which the current status of the data flow and diagnostic values for the data flow are visualized

Process of deriving relevant information from collected raw data using statistical methods

In the SmartDataCollector, an element, in which the data to be recorded, the frequency of data extraction and the endpoints can be configured and managed for one or more device group(s) for a specific application. Parameter containers and scope containers are available for selection.

Representation of data, in which the structure, properties and relationships of the data are defined

Unit of data that is combined and transmitted via a specific route through one or more network(s) from a sender to a receiver. Data packages are used in communication and computer networks to transmit, for example, voice data, video data or structured data.

Collection of data objects that are stored together in electronic form according to a schema and made accessible via a computer. A database serves as a basis to maintain and obtain information for users of application programs.

In the SmartDataCollector, a device group, to which devices with certain characteristics (e.g. device type "inverter" or "controller") are automatically assigned during the device scan

In the SmartDataCollector, a menu where devices can be displayed according to their topology and where metadata (e.g. system level, application type, device group) can be configured for them

Software platform provided by SEW-EURODRIVE to its customers as a web service offering services such as condition monitoring for industrial gear units and applications, as well as device management

Hardware that is located at the edge of a core network within the network architecture. It forms the interface between the machine network and higher-level network layers (e.g. a cloud). Edge devices are usually equipped with functions that are intended to serve higher goals within an IIoT network, such as condition monitoring.

In the SmartDataCollector, a selected entity (e.g. local file system, network drive, cloud-based object storage such as Microsoft Azure Blob Storage), to which the collected data from the SmartDataCollector is transferred for storage

In the SmartDataCollector, a metadata that can be assigned to a device to describe its installation location within the system

Database management system for time series databases developed by InfluxData. The database management system can be selected as an endpoint in the SmartDataCollector to be used for data storage.

Network, through which objects and their virtual images are connected to each other and to the Internet and through which they can communicate independently with each other. In an industrial context, for example, devices in a system that can interact and act without human involvement.

Text-based data exchange format with a simple structure that is often used to exchange data between servers and web applications or apps

Data that describes the properties of other data. Metadata can, for example, describe the content, structure, or origin of data in more detail. This helps to identify, retrieve, and manage data.

Cloud-based software platform developed by Microsoft that provides cloud computing services

In the SmartDataCollector, a data container for configuring and managing parameters that are to be recorded

Path of a data package from the sender to the receiver via one or more computer network(s). The process of selecting a route is called "routing".

In the SmartDataCollector, a data container for configuring and managing scope data that is to be recorded for a specific application

Unique production number of a product assigned by the manufacturer

In the SmartDataCollector, a template created by SEW-EURODRIVE for a scope or parameter container that the user can use for a specific application. Information: Users can also configure their own data containers in the SmartDataCollector.

In the SmartDataCollector, a metadata that can be assigned to a device to describe its location within the plant hierarchy
