Adding an Equipment Property

Equipment can have properties that are usually subscribed to real data sources, such as OPC UA, BACnet, Mitsubishi FA, or others, providing real-time data like temperature or pressure. You can add a property to existing equipment on any level of the asset tree.

To add an equipment property:

1. Open Workbench and in Project Explorer, expand your project > Assets, > Equipment, right-click the desired equipment node, and select Add Equipment property.

2. In the new equipment property configuration dialog, enter the property's name. Optionally, enter a display name and description on the General tab. Click to use language aliases.

   

3. Make sure the Enabled checkbox is selected, and then enter or select the remaining settings for the unit of measure, range minimum and maximum, and time zone.

4. On the Real-time Data tab in Source type, select Real-time Data Source.

5. In Real-time data source, click to browse all connected data sources and select the desired data point.
6. (Optional) Select Use database cache to enable using any existing data cached in the database.
7. Complete the remaining settings as desired, and then click Apply.
