Hi there,
I am quite new in Thingworx world. I have kepware and thingworx connected and I can see values changing in a mashup. My next step is displaying data in a chart in real time, I mean I want to see curves changing. I have been searching in the community for examples but I am very confused about how to do that. I have found two different ways (I don't know if there are more):
- Using a template create from a thing and calling to "GetimplementedthingswithData" service, this doesn't work for me:
- I created my Industrial Connection (KEPServerEX) and industrial thing (KEPThing) in New Composer, as explained in the Help Center. Now I have created a template from the KEPThing, but this template is not connected so I cannot get data from Kepware despite it has inherited the KEPThing properties. In the mashup, I can call the "GetimplementedthingswithData" service and bind the data to the time series chart but, as the template is disconnected, there is no values displayed.
- Create an Info Table from a datashape. As far as I have understood, you create a table and full it with data, then you bind this data to the chart. I have seen an example that explains how to create an Infotable, but in this example the data is entered manually and I want to get the data from Kepware. I have seen this video Advanced Chart Widgets Tutorial - YouTube which is what I want to do, but it doesn't explain how to create that dataShape.
I am using the famous Simulation Examples of Kepware.
If helps, this is the event log window:
I you could provide me with some guidance, it would be very much appreciate.
Many thanks in advanced.

Youc could consider to use Value Stream to store your data.
After you successfully discovered Tags in your KEPServerEX Thing, You browse the Tags in Kepware from KEPServerEX Thing, and then you bind it to a New Thing with "Bind to New Entity", and this new Entity is based on IndustrialGateway Template, and also remember to set a Value Stream:
Set the bound Tags which you want to show in mashup with "Logged".
And then you bind QueryPropertyHistory in the new kepware Thing in your mashup, and bind the Returned Data to Time Series Chart. To get refreshed periodically, you could add a Auto Refresh widget in your mashup.
Hope this helps,
