Functionality

  • Configurable edge intelligence
  • Bridges standard and proprietary protocols to AMTech IoT DAP.
  • Device-to-device or device-to-cloud communications.

Cloud Configuration

  • Create an "m2mBridge" actor (See Actors)
    • Add the things type polices the bridge needs access to
    • Police must have user check; enabling instance access control by m2mBridge instance
    • Include in the polices the thing types the bridge instantiates
  • Register a follower (See Roles)
    • Assign to follower actor "m2mBridge" access
    • Uniquely identify each m2mBridge
  • Activity observation configuration (See Observation production configuration)
    • Add the Things types the bridge will use (See Actors)
      • Add the observations types from selected thing type the bridge will produce or consume (See Actors CRUD observations)
    • Configure the topic that m2mBridge will listen for crud and command observations has to matched with bridgeConfig.json property (See Edge Configuration Topics
//topic to get crud and command observations                             
"dap":{
       "crudCommandUrl" :"/xx/xx/"			
   }
  • Things instance creation:
*Using amtech creator experience
*Configuring autoDiscover entry at bridgeConfig.json
 //auto discover configuration
       "autoDiscover":{
           //create things type instances at startup time
           "execute" : false,                         
           //Jsonld instances of the thing to be created

Plugins architecture

How to implement a new plugin

  • Clone git repository (https://github.com/AMTechMX/M2MBridge.git)
    • at /.../M2MBridge/plugins create a directory that matched with the Thing type name to bridge example SNMPDevice
  • Implement a nodejs module with the following interface
   function SNMPDevice() {
   }
   SNMPDevice.prototype.start = function ( context, complete) {
       try {
           complete(null);
       } catch (e) {
           complete(e);
       }
   };
   SNMPDevice.prototype.stop = function (complete) {
       try {
           complete(null);
       } catch (e) {
           complete(e);
       }
   };
   SNMPDevice.prototype.command = function (observation, complete) {
       try {
           complete(null);
       } catch (e) {
           complete(e);
       }
   };
   module.exports.SNMPDevice = SNMPDevice;
