Connected Plant
The two ways a machine talks: measurement that arrives, and control that is sent.

| Screen | Kind | What it is | Columns | Fields | Actions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IoT Gateways | List | The box between the plant network and this platform. A gateway rather than a direct device connection because that is how it is built — sensors do not have credentials. | 9 | 9 | 0 |
| IoT Devices | List | Sensors, meters, counters, cameras and readers, each bound to the machine it measures. | 11 | 13 | 0 |
| Signals | List | What a device measures, one row per quantity. The scaling lives here because it is a property of the measurement — applied downstream, every consumer has to know it and one of them eventually will not. | 13 | 15 | 0 |
| Readings | Read-only list | The series. A sensor that returns a value it does not believe is worse than one that returns nothing, which is why the quality flag is on every row. | 7 | 0 | 0 |
| Alert Rules | List | A threshold, and how long it has to be true. Without the second, every rule fires on a single noisy sample and everybody turns alerting off. | 12 | 13 | 0 |
| Alerts | Read-only list | What fired, with the threshold AS IT WAS. A rule changes; the alerts it already raised keep the threshold they were raised against. | 10 | 0 | 1 |
| PLC Controllers | List | Writes are OFF by default, and that is deliberate: a write to a running machine is a physical action, and the safest configuration is the one where a misconfigured screen cannot take one. | 12 | 18 | 1 |
| PLC Tags | List | A memory address in a machine. The min and max are enforced on THIS side of the network, where the error message can say why. | 12 | 14 | 0 |
| Tag Bindings | List | What a tag MEANS, and the reason this integration is configuration rather than code. "DB10.DBW4" is meaningless; bound as "good count for PRESS-02" it feeds OEE, confirmations and kanban without anybody writing a transformation. | 12 | 13 | 0 |
| PLC Writes | Read-only list | Every value this platform sends to a machine, requested and approved separately, with the old value recorded. This is the table an auditor asks for after an incident. | 12 | 0 | 2 |
