## Description
### Overview
This document describes how to get the data from a PLC into the Performance Insight app. The data flow goes from the OPC UA Connector app, going through the databus app and
being stored as time-series with the IIH Essentials app. The Performance Insight app is extremely dependent on a properly configured IIH Essentials app.
### General task
The example reads data from a PLC via the OPC UA connector.
The data is published on the Databus. The IIH Essentials monitors the bus and collect the shopfloor data.
First an adapter, providing datapoints must be assigned and configured.
Afterwards the data structure can be modeled using assets and aspects. See [IIH-Essential-how-to](https://github.com/industrial-edge/iih-essentials-getting-started) for further explanation.
This data is collected, saved for individual time periods and transfered for further processing (using Performance Insight).
## Requirements
### Prerequisities
- Access to an Industrial Edge Management System (IEM)
- Onboarded Industial Edge Device on IEM
- Installed System Configurators for Databus and OPC UA Connector
- Installed System Apps Databus OPC UA Connector
- Installed IIH Essentials
- Installed Performance Insight
- Edge device is connected to PLC
- TIA portal project loaded on PLC (e.g. for filling application)
- HTML5-capable Internet browser
### Used components
- Industrial Edge Management (IEM) V1.14.9
- Databus V3.2.1
- OPC UA Connector V2.4.2
- IIH Essentials V2.2.1
- Performance Insight V1.21.1
- optional Common Configurator V2.2.1
- Industrial Edge Device V3.0.0-51
- TIA Portal V19
### TIA Project
The used TIA Portal project can be found in the [miscellenous repository](https://github.com/industrial-edge/miscellaneous/tree/main/tank%20application) and is also used for several further application examples.
## Configuration steps
You can find the further information about the following steps in the [docs](docs/Installation.md)
- Configure PLC Connection (Databus, OPC UA Connector)
- Configure IIH Essentials
- Configure Performance Insight
## Usage
Once the IIH Essentials app is configured and data is availalbe from a running PLC, process data can be collected.
Performance Insight visualizes this data and gives Iata insights (KPIs, metrics, etc.)
