  • Ignition with Google Cloud Injector Module installed
  • Ignition Designer installed
    • Review the Inductive Automation documentation for Launching Designer against the Ignition gateway
  • An existing AWS account with an active Kinesis Stream and/or DynamoDB Database.
    • Documentation on creating a Kinesis Stream can be found here.
      • If using a Firehose stream, its source must be "Direct PUT or other sources"
    • Documentation on creating a DynamoDB Database table can be found here.
      • DynamoDB Database tables ideally should be created with the following settings:
        • Primary partition key: UUID GROUP_EDGE_ID (String)

        • Primary sort key: TIMESTAMP GROUP_EDGE_ID (String)

Summary

This tutorial will provide step-by-step instructions for the following:

...

Now the AWS Injector module is connected to a Kinesis Stream and/or a DynamoDB Database, we have to determine if there are are changes needed to the Tab Tag Agent tab to be able to push data.

...

If you already have Ignition tags defined, for example from the Ignition OPC UA Server, then depending on the depth of your tag tree you may need to configure the Sparkplug Settings. 

Tip
Review the Cloud Injector Tag Agents and Tag Trees document which describes how Cloud Injector Agent configurations interact with Ignition tag trees to push messages and tag change events to the cloud service. It explains how tags get identified to be pushed as well as what specific 'topics' will be included with the messages. It also goes over some example configurations to show how the system will behave in different scenarios.

Once the Tag Agent is setup as needed, you can jump to Step 3: Publishing data.


If you do not have Ignition tags defined we will do that in the next step with a tag tree depth that requires no additional Sparkplug settings.

...

Tip
Refer to the Ignition Tag Browser and Creating Tags documentation for assistance in configuring Ignition tags

Step 3: Publishing data

When the AWS Injector module is installed in Ignition, an AWS Injector tag provider is automatically created. This folder will contain both information tags about the module's version and state, as well as control tags for refreshing the module and Tag Agents.

Make sure that the Ignition Designer has read/write communications turned on by selecting the Project/Comm Read/Write button highlighted in the image below. 

Tip
Review the Inductive Automation Designer documentation for additional assistance on setting the project communication mode
