Datapoints

Datapoints form the central value layer of IOZER basic. This tab is used to create, edit, import, export, and monitor datapoints.

Overview

The table shows the following information for each datapoint:

Column	Meaning
ID	Unique internal datapoint ID
Description	Display label and technical name
Data type	Boolean, Integer, Float, or String
Data source	Source from which the value is read
Data target	Target to which the value is written
Value	Current value
Status	Quality of the current state
Updated	Age and timestamp of the most recent update

Use the search field to filter the list. Datapoints can be added and the datapoint list can be imported or exported from the header. Actions for editing, copying, and deleting are available at the end of each row.

Copy a datapoint

Use Copy datapoint for datapoints with a similar structure. In the copy, change only the differing properties such as the description, technical name, unit, and interface address.

Data source and data target

A datapoint can have both a source and a target. This decouples interfaces, for example:

A digital input writes a datapoint and the datapoint switches an output
A 1-Wire sensor updates a temperature datapoint
MQTT writes a setpoint that is processed by local logic
A Modbus register becomes available as a datapoint for programming and the dashboard

Import and export

The datapoint list can be exported and imported. This is useful for commissioning multiple devices, documentation, or making changes outside the web interface.

The underlying concepts are described under Datapoints.
