What is IIH Essentials?

IIH Essentials is a tool for storing and structuring data of a connected machine. In addition, data calculated via the API can be written back to IIH Essentials. Higher-level applications such as Performance Insight access the structure and data storage of IIH Essentials and obtain their machine data from there.

IIH Essentials can be used as a "standalone" app or in integrated mode as a component of the IIH.

What does it do?

IIH Essentials connects the plant to an application. All data sent via the plant bus is transferred to IIH Essentials and can be stored there in a structured manner. Various connectors (such as the S7 connector in Industrial Edge or Open Pipe in the Unified Comfort Panel) can serve as the plant bus.

IIH Essentials is a centrally usable element for structuring and storing data, which can be used by other Edge applications via the API interface so that they do not have to implement their own data management. Functions such as aggregations, data management and structuring are available.

Each node in the structure is accounted for as an asset and contributes to the structuring of the machines in different areas. Based on this structure, it is easier to provide specific data for all higher-level applications, for example for Performance Insight or other applications, including those developed by the user.
