Engineering

Aligning Eliona with the requirements and needs of customers and the project environment is of crucial importance. A variety of methods and tools are available for this Eliona engineering, covering all application areas.

The following figure provides an overview of the methods and tools for Eliona engineering.

Specifically, the following methods and tools are available:

• Frontends: User interfaces for configuration and mass data processing

• Templates: Use of pre-built configuration data

• API: Extensive API interfaces

• Creation: Automatic creation of configuration data

Frontends

Eliona offers an extensive and user-friendly interface that allows for a wide range of individual configurations. This interface also integrates the use of API interfaces for Apps and APIv2. This enables configuration and analysis of Eliona using pre-built JSON data. The creation and configuration of large quantities of data are thus possible in a structured and defined format.

Templates

Templates serve to simplify the creation of pre-built configuration data.

Apps offer the ability to create specific dashboards for any user via Dashboard Templates. The assets of the apps are displayed appropriately in typical dashboards and can then be individually customized.

Eliona offers the ability to automatically transfer rules to a large number of assets using Rule Chain Templates, thereby eliminating the need to create identical rules.

API Interfaces

With the APIv2, Eliona offers an extensive interface for querying and creating master and transaction data. The interface is JSON-based and can be used programmatically or ad hoc.

Apps also offer API interfaces to automate all app-specific configurations and query app data.

Creation

As needed, apps automatically create master and transaction data in Eliona. Using Continuous Asset Creation, apps take on a large part of the configuration for device-specific apps. Assets are automatically created in Eliona and linked to the respective devices.
