Kepware Tag issue

Hello Everyone,

 

I am doing POC to integrate the Modbus TCP device data to IOT platform.

Here my challenge was IOT platform not accepting the tag name with "dot" delimiter in Json payload.

 

so, i need a support or guidance to change the tag hierarchy or delimitator of Tag name in Kepware.

Ex: channel1.device1.voltage  -----------> channel1_device1_voltage

 

Background requirement: I need to read the tag values in IOT platform through MQTT gateway with Advance Template but unfortunately IOT Platform not accepting "dot" in payload variables.

 

So, is anyone can guide / provide the possible solution to the same.

 

thanks for your sincere response.

Here is a link to the page in the KEPServerEX manual that covers restricted characters when naming Channels, Devices and Tags. 

 

https://www.ptc.com/-/media/kepware-store/en/manuals/kepserverex-manual.pdf#page=175

 

You can see that periods must be used to separate Channel, Devices and Tag Names and there is no alternative work-around.  Here is a link on how to submit an enhancement request:
