Material Data Capture

The Material Data Capture tab is used to filter which data definitions (data attributes) to register on materials in this tracker process unit. If no data definitions are selected, all data definitions received from the OfflineTransactionProvider will be registered. When one ore more data definitions are selected, the filtering will be enabled, and only the data definitions selected will be extracted from the OfflineTransactionProvider transactions. The excess data definitions from the OfflineTransactionProvider will be neglected.

This parameter tab is based on the parameter matrix concept. Use the Add button to add a new row and the remove button to remove a selected row. The columns of the matrix are described below.

Data Name

This is the name of the data definition on which to store the data. The data definitions available are governed by the database configuration.

Data type

This is a read only parameter displaying the data type of the selected data definition. In order to change the data type of a specific data definition the portal must be used.

Dimension

This is a read only parameter displaying the data dimension of the selected data definition.

Aggregation

This is a read only parameter displaying how to aggregate the data on the TPU. The aggregation type can only be changed through the data definition configuration page in the portal.

  • Min. The minimum value of the corresponding MDC port when the material is inside the TPU is stored.
  • Max. The maximum value of the corresponding MDC port when the material is inside the TPU is stored.
  • Average. The average value of the corresponding MDC port when the material is inside the TPU is stored.
  • First. The value present on the corresponding MDC port when the material enters the TPU is stored.
  • Last. The value present on the corresponding MDC port when the material leaves the TPU is stored.
  • Std.dev. The standard deviation of the corresponding MDC port when the material is inside the TPU is stored.
  • Integral. The integral of the corresponding MDC port when the material is inside the TPU is stored.
  • OnChange. A new value is stored on the material when the material enters the TPU or the value of the MDC port changes.
  • None. No aggregation. Same functionality as First.

Eng. Unit

This is a read only parameter displaying the engineering unit of the actual data definition.

Description

This is a read only parameter displaying the description of the actual data definition.
