Easy KPI

[UPDATE on 06 May 2020 to integrate eCatcher Mobile App]

The KPI feature of the Ewon Flexy enables users to easily get instant information about the health, performance or targeted key values of all their connected machines.

Hereunder, you can find a step-by-step video that describes how to set and publish KPIs from your machines through Talk2M.

Configuration

The process can be described in 3 steps:

1. Set a tag (a PLC register) as KPI
   

In the Tags > Values configuration page, you can configure up to 6 tags as KPIs.

This supposes you already have a PLC linked to your Ewon and from which you can retrieve data. More details in the Data Acquisition section.

Once set as KPIs, they are automatically displayed on the summary page. This page can be directly browsed locally on you Ewon Flexy.

2. Publish the KPIs to Talk2M

You need to configure the Ewon Flexy to send the KPIs to Talk2M to make them appear in M2Web or eCatcher Mobile App.

Go to the Data Management web page of your Ewon (Setup > System > Main > Data Management) and activate the "Live data and KPI’s" option.

3. Visualize the KPIs

Visit the M2Web platform or open the eCatcher Mobile App, and log in to your account to visualize the KPIs. 

M2Web Platform

With M2Web, a secure browser-based mobile access platform, enables users to connect to devices such as a remote HMI, web server, PC, or panels

The users can also see the KPI’s from remote machines via Ewon Flexy products.

In M2Web, a standard browser-based tool, the information is presented in a modern responsive graphical interface.

A map view has been implemented to enable a global perspective - on a world's map - of installed machines in the field.

Each KPI visually displays the alarm status: Blue for normal state, Yellow for warning, and Red for alarm.  

eCatcher Mobile App

As of May 01, 2020, you can also visualize KPIs in the eCatcher Mobile App.

The eCatcher App is similar to the desktop version but handles only the remote connection part. There is no management of the Talk2M account.

It allows the use of your standard HMI or PLC app to reach your remote device while being connected to eCatcher Mobile app. You can also display the KPIs for each Ewon.

The eCatcher mobile app is destined to be used on mobile devices only: smartphones and tablets.

Note concerning Android eCatcher mobile app: Alarm color-codes occur while application is in use. Display of previously triggered alarm status is “in development progress”.

You can download the eCatcher Mobile App on:

• eCatcher App for Apple iOS
• eCatcher App for Google Android
