The Ultimo IoT connector enables third parties to provide measurements (i.e. based on sensor data) to Ultimo. There are three different ways to connect to Ultimo:
*
*
* Not available in Professional
After importing a measurement, various validations and business rules will be executed in Ultimo.
Ultimo is not suitable for raw sensor data, so it is not allowed to directly connect sensors to Ultimo or send unfiltered sensor data to Ultimo. The Ultimo IoT connector is intended to connect with a server or platform that collects and filters / aggregates data from sensors.
To avoid an overload of sensor data, there is a maximum limit of measurements. When processing measured values, Ultimo will check if there are no more than 3 days with more than 25 measured values in the past 10 days.
It is also possible to create new measurement points with the REST interface.
Objects or meters can have measurement points. These can be stored on an equipment or a process function. Each measurement should refer to an existing measurement point (for an equipment or process function).
A measurement contains:
Parameter
Description
EquipmentId or ProcessFunctionId
Use an EquipmentId or ProcessFunctionId depending on where the object is stored (internal Ultimo ID).
It is recommended to use a Meter, which is an Equipment. This property is required.
MeasurementPointId
The code of the measurement point (int. Ultimo ID).
Date
The date and time of the measurement. This property is required. Allowed formats:
yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss (i.e. 2018-08-21 15:21:59)
UTC: yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ssZ (i.e. 2018-08-20T15:17:59Z)
Value or Delta
Use Value when the measured value should be interpreted as an absolute value. Examples: a temperature or the total running hours of a machine.
Use Delta when the measured value is a difference relative to the previous measurement and it is desired to be cumulated in Ultimo. Example: the running hours since the last measurement. Note: Delta is only available in REST-API.
Text
Additional information or remarks for the measurement.
With the REST interface it is possible to create a new measurement point. When the new measurement point is the first measurement point for an equipment or process function, this will be the default measurement point.
A measurement point contains:
Parameter
Description
EquipmentId or ProcessFunctionId
Use an EquipmentId or ProcessFunctionId depending on where the object is stored (internal Ultimo ID). It is recommended to use a Meter, which is an Equipment. This property is required.
MeasurementPointId
The new code of the measurement point (internal Ultimo ID). This property is required.
Description
Additional description for the measurement point. This property is required.
