This example shows how to use the Industrial Edge App "Performance Insight" to visualize modeled data
This document describes how to get the data from a PLC into the Performance Insight app. The data flow goes from the S7 connector app, going through the databus app and being stored as time-series with the data service app. The Performance Insight app is extremely dependent on a properly configured data service app.
The example reads data from a PLC via the S7 Connector (OPC UA). The data is published on the IE Databus. The Data Service monitors the bus and collect the shopfloor data. First an adapter, providing datapoints must be assigned and configured. Afterwards the data structure can be modeled using assets and aspects. See data-service-how-to for further explanation. This data is collected, saved for individual time periods and transfered for further processing (using Performance Insight).

- HTML5-capable Internet browser
- Industrial Edge Management (IEM) V1.1.16 (OS) V1.1.0-39
- IE Databus V1.1.15
- IE Databus Configurator V1.1.24
- S7 Connector V1.1.23
- S7 Connector Configurator V1.1.24
- Data Service V1.1.3

The used TIA Portal project can be found in the miscellenous repository and is also used for several further application examples.
You can find the further information about the following steps in the docs
- Configure PLC Connection (Databus, S7 Connector)
- Configure Data Service
- Configure Performance Insight
Once the Data Service app is configured and data is availalbe from a running PLC, process data can be collected. Performance Insight visualizes this data and gives Iata insights (KPIs, metrics, etc.)
