Datonis Edge 6.1 Release Notes

Additions/Changes

[25_April_2022]

OPC DA XML Adapter

• OPC DA XML Adapter is used with the OPC DA-XML type of data server.
• This adapter uses SOAP-type requests from OPC DA-XML Server and reads the data from the same.
• Configuration: OPC DA (XML) Adapter -> Server URL, Username, password, and ID seperator.

Automatic Adapter Reset

• Automatic Adapter Reset is used if any particular adapter goes into the hung state for a certain time. The reason may be anything like server unavailable, or adapter disconnected eventually.
• It will continuously check if the adapter is in a hung state or not a by given time it will restart the adapter.
• Configuration: Any Adapter -> Settings -> Adapter Reset Interval (Seconds).
• Note: Minimum required time interval is 600 seconds (10 minutes). Setting it as -1 will disable this feature.

Monitor Tag Internal Send

• Monitor Tag Internal Send can help in sending the event data as it internally to Script Push Adapter.
• If this option is selected then the ‘tag_scanphase’ and ‘tag_scantime’ tags will be removed from the event data.
• In the case of the Monitor tag trigger, instead of sending the monitor tag only, it will send the whole event as it does for the datonis data sending.
• Configuration: Any Adapter -> Settings -> Publish Mode -> Monitor option.
• Note: All the options with Monitor suffix, work the same along with its prefixes.

Persistent Data Map across JS Tags and scripts

• Provided a variable as "persistent_global_val" to use across all the adapter JS Tags, Local Utility JS, and Global Utility JS Expression.
• "persistent_global_val" is a key-value type variable where data of any type(number, boolean, String) can be stored.
• the variable is available across all the adapters. eg. persistent_global_val.put("name":"abc"); this data will be available across all the adapters. Let it be OPC UA Adapter or Script Adapter.
• Note: This can not be used in script adapters connect, disconnect, read js expression and also can not be used in HTTP and MQTT adapters read js expression.

• Improved the individual log file size to 25777216 and also increased the number of log rotations to 13.
