Applies to SiteSync StandardEnterprise ManagementField App Introduced in 1.0.0

A quick map of the core ideas, each linking to its full page.

  • Site — the organizational unit every device belongs to (Enterprise). See Understand sites.
  • Connection — the link to your LNS: MQTT for data, REST API for provisioning. See Connection concepts.
  • Device profile — a reusable template (decoder + UDT + values + downlinks) per sensor type. See Device-profile concepts.
  • Decoder — parses a raw payload into named values (JavaScript or API). See Decoder concepts.
  • UDT & tags — the Ignition structure decoded data is written into. See SiteSync tag model.
  • Uplink / downlink — data from the device / commands back to it. See Send a downlink.
  • Health metrics — signal, battery, packet delivery, status, and Site Health Score. See Health metrics.
