Device Gateway Edge Flows

Device Gateway Edge Flows

The Device Gateway supports execution of data flows at the edge. This type of data flow is referred to as an “Edge Flow.” Edge Flows are designed to be deployed onto a Device Gateway instance, unlocking a set of SCADA capabilities that can be designed and deployed using the same Data Flow Designer in the Fuuz platform used for System, iPaaS, web, and other flows. Once deployed on the edge, these flows can accept network requests from devices, make requests out to devices on a schedule or in response to events, make requests to Fuuz to query configuration or store data for long-term analysis, and more!

Creating and deploying an Edge Flow

After configuring a Device Gateway with devices:

  1. Open the Flow Designer and in the toolbar at the top, select File → New

  2. Select “Gateway” as the Environment and “Edge” as the type.

  3. After designing your Flow, save it and deploy it.

All core Data Flow Nodes and JSONata bindings may be used in an Edge Flow except the “Aggregate” node and binding.

 Associating An Edge Flow With a Gateway

Deployed Edge Flows must be associated with a Device Gateway installation before they execute.

  1. In the “Device Gateways” screen, select your Gateway.

  2. Under the “Device Gateway Data Flows” tab, select the edge flow

     

  3. The Device Gateway will deploy the Edge Flow afterward.
