Configuration Tutorials#
Data Flow#
There are three different levels of complexity/configuration when using Connect IoT, with consequently different learning curves, so we suggest starting with the basic configuration, continuing through the intermediate level and following up to the advanced tutorial.
Control Flow#
The control flow designer provides a more programmatic approach to building integrations, enforcing a deterministic start and finish for each workflow. It is focused on actions rather than data transmission, making it well suited for scenarios with high volumes of data where insulation from concurrency issues is important.
MES Interoperability#
This tutorial covers the out-of-the-box interoperability scenarios between the MES and Connect IoT, such as resource setup, material dispatch, track-in, track-out, container dock, undock, and recipe operations.
Workflow Mechanics#
These tutorials explain how a workflow behaves at run time: when a task runs and which values it reads, how Control Flow branches and recovers, how timers and stored values work, how a workflow talks to MES, and when to write a Code task. The Connect IoT - Learning Path shows where each one fits among the other tutorials.
Protocol#
These tutorials cover integration with specific communication protocols used to connect equipment to the MES. Each tutorial walks through the setup and configuration for a particular protocol.
