Create a Datalogger Mapping

Datalogger Mappings are one-to-one relationships between fields in GE Digital APM families and fields on various dataloggers that are supported by Thickness Monitoring.

The Datalogger Mappings workspace contains a list of baseline mappings. This topic describes how to create an additional mapping.

IMPORTANT: To avoid data integrity issues:

Do not modify mappings for the TML Asset ID and TML ID fields.
When you add a mapping, ensure that:
- The source and target fields are of the same data type.
- The combination of source and target fields is unique (i.e., there is a one-to-one relationship between the source and target fields).

Steps

Access the TM Admin Preferences page.
In the left pane, select the Datalogger Mappings tab.

The Datalogger Mappings workspace appears, displaying a list of mappings.
Navigate to the blank row at the bottom of the list, and enter values in the available fields.

Tip: If you want to add more mappings, press Tab. Another blank row appears at the bottom of the list.
In the upper-right corner of the workspace, select .

The Datalogger Mapping has been created. In the row containing the mapping that you have added, the icon is replaced with the icon.

Results

If the value in the Transfer Direction field is Send To (T), then, for the datalogger for which you have created the mapping:
- The newly created mapping appears in the grid in the Send To section on the TM Dataloggers page.
- When you send data to the datalogger, the value in the Source Field field that you have specified in the mapping is also sent to the device.
If the value in the Transfer Direction field is Receive From (F), then, for the datalogger for which you have created the mapping:
- The newly created mapping appears in the grid in the Receive From section on the TM Dataloggers page.
- When you receive data from the datalogger, the value in the Source Field field that you have specified in the mapping is populated with the value from the device field.
