Synchronization
Synchronization is the process of publishing the links between the measurement points (locations) and their sensor(s) to the corresponding sensor system. Both measurement points and sensors are identified by their ID. You can maintain measurement points and sensors on the Sensors business object. A sensor is linked to its corresponding measurement point.
 | This synchronization process is only applicable for Planon-managed connectors. |
In the above configuration, the following mapping should be published to the sensor system:
Sensor ID | Measurement point ID |
|---|---|
S001 | MP1.18 |
S002 | MP1.18 |
S003 | MP1.18 |
To enable rearranging or adding sensors, the sensor reference is date-aware. This implies that the synchronization process only takes into account the sensor records that correspond with the period of the server date of synchronization.
During synchronization, the measurement/sensor mappings of all measurements points (Planon status: Active and Inactive) are published to their corresponding sensor system. The Sensors business object is date-aware. Synchronization only takes into account Planon-managed connectors with an Active status.
| | After a successful run, the application switches off the Activate monitoring mode? and Synchronize fields automatically. However, if encountering issues, the application will continue to try and do this for some time, clogging the process. To overcome this situation, you can inactivate the connector. By inactivating the connector, the Activate monitoring mode? and Synchronize fields will be switched off and the process is reset. After activating the connector again, you can manually enable these fields. |
