InfluxDB

With the InfluxDB Connector, you can easily write your process variables to an InfluxDB time series database. To do this, a new connection with the type InfluxDB must be created.

Connection properties

• Connection name: Name of the connection
• Connection description: Description of the connection
• Url: Url of the InfluxDB database. This can be local or in the cloud
• Token: Token of the InfluxDB database so that the process values can be written. This must be created directly in InfluxDB.
• Organisation: Organisation that was defined in InfluxDB
• Bucket: Bucket that was defined in InfluxDB
• Enable Variable: Process variable that can be used to switch logging on/off
• Log Mode: Mode in which the data is to be logged

Mapping process variables

The process variables that are to be logged can be defined via the mapping. To do this, either add individual variables or import inputs/outputs.

• Variable name: Name of the process variable
• Tag name: name under which the variable is to be logged
• Data type: the associated data type to be logged
