Hands-On Industrial Internet of Things

Simulating measures

Since we don't have a real industrial data source, we have to simulate the measures. To build a simulated measure, follow these steps:

1. Open the Prosys OPC UA Simulation Server user interface
2. Click on the Simulation tab
3. Click on the + button, and enter MyDevice.Pump_01.Pressure for the name and select Sinusoid for the type
4. Finally, click on the Create button

The preceding steps are shown in the following screenshot:

After creating this simulated measure, we can see the signal by checking the appropriate box in the Visualize column, as shown in the following screenshot:
