Review the SCADA Energy Edge Inputs

This route inspects repository artifacts. It does not start a protocol client, connect to a gateway, or deploy a pipeline.

Prerequisites

  • A checkout of this repository
  • A shell with sed and wc
  • No connection to an OT network

The fixture represents output from a separate gateway. Each line contains one decoded register reading:

REG=40001;VAL=14823;UNIT=V_x100;TS=1708290845;DEVICE=RTU-07A;STATUS=0

Run the inspection

From the repository root:

sed -n '1,5p' examples/integrations/scada-energy-edge/input.txt
wc -l examples/integrations/scada-energy-edge/input.txt
sed -n '1,80p' examples/integrations/scada-energy-edge/scada-edge-complete.yaml

Review three site-owned inputs before any implementation work:

  1. The gateway's decoded record schema and timestamp semantics
  2. The device register map, units, and scaling
  3. The approved selection rules and destination contract

Expected output

The fixture contains 20 synthetic line records. The first five show voltage, current, frequency, temperature, and power readings for RTU-07A. The configuration begins with a TCP line input and a mapping processor.

No runtime result is expected. The reference has not been executed as an end-to-end integration, and Kafka delivery remains untested.

Cleanup

None. These commands do not modify checked-in files.

Common failures

  • File not found: run the commands from the repository root.
  • Treating the socket as protocol support: it receives decoded lines; it does not issue protocol requests.
  • Assuming status meanings: confirm the gateway's status contract before adapting the labels.
  • Deploying the combined file: review Kafka credentials, topic policy, archive path, and delivery behavior first.

Next: Inspect the parsing stage.
