Orion Data
Understand Orion Data features, their settings and how devices, channels, calibrations, alarms and dashboards fit together.
Orion Data is EWS Monitoring’s IoT data platform. It connects to physical Devices in the field, collects their sensor readings, and gives you the tools to monitor, transform, and visualise that data in real time.
Use Docs to understand a feature and look up its settings. For instructions that complete a task, open Guides.
Choose a learning path
Section titled “Choose a learning path”Sign in, find a device and view a channel’s readings.
Understand the main menu and how its available controls depend on your role.
Key concepts
Section titled “Key concepts”A few terms appear throughout Orion Data. Understanding them up front makes the rest of the documentation easier to navigate.
- Device: a physical unit in the field that transmits sensor readings to Orion Data.
- Channel: a single data stream on a Device. Each Channel holds the readings for one sensor.
- Raw sensor: the data stream as received from the hardware.
- Soft sensor: a virtual sensor created in Orion Data to hold calibrated or derived values without overwriting the raw reading. See Calibrations and sensor values.
- Site, Client, Tenant: the assignment hierarchy that controls which Devices each user can see. Devices are assigned to one or more Clients and Sites on the Configuration tab.
- Calibration: a transformation applied to a sensor’s readings before they are displayed in dashboards or used in alarms.
