Machine Data Source

Description, address and credentials for connecting to the data source so that data from the physical machine can be consumed by Tulip. This is used for defining a Machine in Tulip. The data source is created and/or managed by the customer or a 3rd Party, in a networked location accessible by a Tulip Connector Host. A Data Source can be deleted and can also be restored. There are 2 types of Machine data source :

  1. OPC UA - This is used for connecting to machines that transmit data over the OPC UA protocol
  2. Tulip API - This is a default machine data source which comes pre-configured in every Tulip instance. This is used for sending events to Tulip over Tulip's Machine API.
