Cloud of Things Guide

This user guide will help you with questions regarding the operation of the Cloud of Things. For an easy introduction, please also have a look at our tutorials
The Cloud of Things is a cloud-based Software as a Service for remote device monitoring and data management. It enables you to manage and control remote assets and allows real-time data analytics through secure data transfer. Thanks to this highly scalable solution, you can easily build your own device network that is perfectly suited to your business. The Cloud of Things platform is offered as a fully managed service and can be accessed through common browsers on personal computers, tablets or smart phones. The Cloud of Things web portal enables you to view all your registered devices and manage them remotely. The portal provides a dashboard for the graphical display of collected data, alarms or defined parameters (KPIs). The Cloud of Things web portal provides three main functionalities:

• Cockpit helps you to organize and manage your devices.
• Device Management helps you to view, locate and manage your connected “things”.
• Administration helps you to administrate your account and add further users.

User Guide – CloudFieldBus

Cloud Fieldbus (CFB, working name) enables you to connect any fieldbus device to a remote, central management system – Cloud of Things. This connection can be done within minutes and at minimal cost and provides high levels of security and reliability. Connected devices can be completely managed from Cloud of Things including data collection, visualization, fault management and remote control. The following sections describe the main properties and the architecture of CFB, starting with a motivation and an overview of the architecture. Then, the data model for fieldbus devices is discussed along with its mapping to JSON. The mapping to SmartREST is discussed and finally, the user interface is shown. Note: Fieldbus in this context refers to protocols such as Modbus, M-Bus and Profibus.
