Collect

A Tag defines how a specific datapoint is acquired from connected equipment—it’s the collection contract that states what to collect, from where, and how incoming measurements are handled at the point of ingress. The Collect tab contains the Edge-side configuration used to retrieve data and is organized into:

• General Settings — Naming and identity (human-readable tag name, the hierarchical name derived from ISA-95 Areas/Assets, and the immutable Cloud Id for guaranteed uniqueness in the cloud), plus data direction (read / write).

• Configuration — Data source selection and addressing, including any protocol-specific options.

• Sampling and Scaling — Acquisition cadence and value shaping (sampling interval or triggers, and optional linear scaling of measurements).

The figure below shows a screenshot of a tag example configuration.

The following subsections explain how to configure a Tag correctly.
