ABB Ability Smart Cloud Service

  • ABB Assets: A list of the assets in the ABB cloud service that should be read. This is a JSON document with an array called assets which contains the assets name as strings.

  • Username: The ABB cloud user name.

  • Auth. Key: The authentication key that has been created in the ABB cloud for the given username.

  • Asset Structure: This defines how the FogLAMP assets that will be created should be organized.

    • Single Asset: A single asset in the ABB cloud will be stored as a single asset in FogLAMP with the same name as the ABB asset. Within each FogLAMP asset a data point will be created for each data value within the asset using the ABB measurement type name.

    • Group Assets: An asset will be created for each group of sensors for each asset within the ABB cloud. The asset will be named <ABB asset>_<group name>. Within each FogLAMP asset a data point will be created for each data value within the group using the ABB measurement type name.

    • Individual Assets: An asset will be created for each data item for each ABB cloud asset. The asset will be named <ABB asset>_<item name>.
