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.
