Do I need to configure both DeviceHub and DataHub or are they independent?

Answer

  • These Voice of the Machine Edge components are independent and need separate configurations. To get the maximum value out of their Voice of the Machine Edgeenvironments, however, most customers require both configurations.
  • DeviceHub is the component that needs to be configured for southbound connections, including connections to PLCs.
  • DataHub needs to be configured for northbound connections. Upon activation from LoopCloud, a DataHub Cloud Connector is configured, by default. This connector must then be enabled to send data to the cloud. Local NATS topics can then be connected to the cloud connector in DataHub.
