Methods and tools for engineering Eliona
Aligning Eliona with the requirements and needs of the customers and the project environment is crucial. A variety of methods and tools are available for this engineering of Eliona, covering all application areas.
The following figure gives an overview of the methods and tools for engineering Eliona.
In detail, the following methods and tools are available:
Frontend: interfaces for configuration and mass data processing
Templates: Use of predefined configuration data
API: extensive API interfaces
Creation: Automatic creation of configuration data
Frontends
Eliona offers a comprehensive and user-friendly interface that allows many options for individual configuration. The use of the API interfaces for Apps and APIv2 is also integrated into this interface. This enables configuration and evaluation of Eliona using predefined JSON data. The creation and configuration of large amounts of data is thus possible in a structured and defined format.
Templates
Templates are used to simplify the creation of ready-made configuration data.
Apps provide over Dashboard Templates the ability to create specific dashboards for any user. In doing so, the assets of the apps are suitably displayed in typical dashboards and can then be customized.
Eliona offers by means of Rule Chain Templates the ability to automatically apply rules to a variety of assets, saving the need to create identical rules.
API interfaces
Eliona offers with the APIv2 offers a comprehensive 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
Apps automatically create master and transaction data in Eliona as needed. Using Continuous Asset Creation, apps thereby take over most of the configuration of device-specific apps. Assets are automatically created in Eliona and linked to the respective devices.
