Getting started

Download PDF

These are the first steps once Data Orchester is installed and you can sign in. Installing it and the first sign-in are on the download page.

Minimum initial configuration

To get something running end to end:

  1. Add your first module — the connection to a device: a Modbus master, an OPC UA client, a Siemens S7 client and the like, which reads the device's values and writes back to it.
  2. Map what it reads and writes to variables, the values your program and dashboards work with.
  3. Confirm data is flowing on a dashboard before building anything more elaborate.

A peer is another DataOrchester: add one when a second installation — a site and its control room — should exchange values, commands and history with this one. See Connectivity.
