There are 2 node types, individual node and array node
Individual Node
You would choose the individual nodes if you wanted to be able to give each value a unique name. If
representing a series of “power meters” as individual "regular" nodes, you can define each meter in
groups and represent each meter data reading with a name like "Server Room Power", "Warehouse
Power", etc. The
Regular Node Types
such as Boolean, 64 Bit Int, 64 Bit Uint, and 64 Bit Float can be
configured up to 200 nodes per node type.
Array Node
If you only care about the values in the array represented power meters, they could be defined as an
array of "Power Meters" and it's up to the user to know which index coincides with each meter.
You would use the arrays if you had data that was always going to use the same names, but each point
would have a different value. The
Array Node Types
such as Boolean, 64 Bit Int, 64 Bit Uint, and 64 Bit
Float can be configured up to 200 nodes per node type.
