Configure an Ethernet/IP source (CLI) - Amazon IoT SiteWise
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Configure an Ethernet/IP source (CLI)

You can define EIP data sources in a SiteWise Edge gateway capability. You must define all of your EIP sources in a single capability configuration.

For more information about defining sources with the Amazon CLI, see Configuring data sources (Amazon CLI).

Note

You must install the Amazon IoT SiteWise connector to use an Ethernet IP source.

This capability has the following versions.

Version Namespace
1 iotsitewise:eipcollector:1

EIP capability configuration parameters

When you define EIP sources in a capability configuration, you must specify the following information in the capabilityConfiguration JSON document:

sources

A list of EIP source definition structures that each contain the following information:

name

A unique, friendly name for the source. This can be up to 256 characters.

destinationPathPrefix

(Optional) A string to prepend to all data streams from the source. The SiteWise Edge gateway adds this prefix to all data streams from this source. Use a data stream prefix to distinguish between data streams that have the same name from different sources. Each data stream should have a unique name within your account.

destination

A destination structure that contains the following information:

type

The type of the destination.

streamName

The name of the Amazon IoT Greengrass stream.

streamBufferSize

The size of the stream buffer.

endpoint

An endpoint structure that contains the following information:

ipAddress

The IP address of the EIP source.

port

(Optional) The port of the EIP source. Accepted values are numbers between 1 and 65535.

minimumInterRequestDuration

(Optional) The minimum duration between each request in milliseconds.

propertyGroups

The list of property groups that define the tag definition requested by the protocol. Each source can have one property group.

name

The name of the property group. This should be a unique identifier with a maximum length of 256 characters.

tagPathDefinitions

The list of structures specifying the data to collect from the Ethernet/IP device and how to transform it for output.

type

The type of the tagPathDefinition. For example, EIPTagPath.

path

The path of the tagPathDefinition. Each tag in a path can be a maximum length of 40 characters and can start with a letter or an underscore. Tags can’t contain consecutive or trailing underscores. The path is prefixed with any value of destinationPathPrefix.

dstDataType

The data type to output the tag data. Accepted values are integer, double, string, and boolean.

scanMode

Defines the scan mode behavior and configurable parameters for the source.

type

The type of the scan mode behavior. Accepted values are POLL.

rate

The rate in milliseconds that the connector should read tags from the Ethernet/IP source.
