Simulate OEE data

With this instruction you can easily simulate some OEE values for using them within an OEE dashboard.
Therefore it is mandatory to have the app Flow Creator installed on the Edge device.

Setup Flow Creator

Within the app Flow Creator you are able to simulate those OEE parameters:

  • Machine status
  • Error status
  • Total count
  • Good count

The following steps needs to be done:

  • Open the app Flow Creator
  • Click on the menu > Import
  • Select this .json file and import it

After importing the file, the databus credentials must be adapted for the MQTT nodes:

  • Double click on each MQTT node to open the settings
  • Click on the edit symbol for the Server
  • Select tab Security
  • Enter the correct databus credentials
  • Click Update to save your changes
  • Deploy the flow

FlowCreatorMQTT

To start the data simulation, you need to click one time on the timestamp node. Thereby the MQTT metadata for the four parameter is generated and the simulated data records are published to the Databus each 500 ms.

Configure IIH Essentials

First, you need to configure the Databus credentials:

  • Open the app IIH Essentials
  • In the menu, go to Settings > Databus settings
  • Enter the correct broker URL as well as the dedicated credentials
  • Click Update to save your settings

Next, you need to create a new connector for receiving the simulated data from Flow Creator:

  • In the menu, go to Get data
  • Click the plus symbol to add a new connector
  • Name = any userdefined name
  • Activate option Use Databus settings
  • Metadata topic = ie/m/j/simatic/v1/sim/dp
  • Click on Add

IIHEssentialsConnector

Finally, the four simulated parameters must be added to an asset:

  • In the menu, go to Manage data
  • Select the dedicated asset where the OEE dashboard will be created
  • On the right side > Connections > select the newly created connector
  • Select all four parameters and drag them into the main area to add them to the asset

IIHEssentialsAttributes

Now the following parameters were added to the asset:

  • ErrorCode
  • MachineStateOEE
  • NumberGood
  • NumberProduced

See chapter Configure Performance Insight to proceed with the configuration of the OEE dashboard within Performance Insight.
