Find and Replace + Radial Cards in the Diagram Editor

Building complex HMI screens for your industrial systems just got much faster. The latest update to ControlCom Connect focuses on reducing the manual work required to build and maintain detailed system diagrams, especially when managing large numbers of variables across production lines.

Find and Replace Variables

When you are managing a large-scale deployment, updating variable mappings one by one is time-consuming. Now you can find and replace variables directly within the diagram editor. This makes it easier to duplicate screens for similar assets or update your data mapping without rebuilding elements from scratch.

New Radial Card Visuals

This update adds a Radial Card primitive to your toolkit. This new element provides a clean, circular visual for displaying key performance indicators (KPIs) like pressure, temperature, or motor speed. It is designed to give operators high-level status updates that are easy to read from across the plant floor.

Advanced Element Control and Logic

We have added more sophisticated controls for element visibility. This means you can create dynamic diagrams where parts of the interface appear or disappear based on real-time machine states. To help you set this up faster, the expression editor now includes quick actions for common logic tasks.

Improved Configuration Tools

Managing your hardware connections is now simpler with several updates to our core tools:

  • MODBUS Client Editor: A more intuitive interface for configuring your MODBUS devices and addressing.

Asset Hierarchies and Relationships for Facilities

Managing complex industrial environments requires more than just a list of devices. ControlCom Connect now provides deeper organizational tools to help you map your digital twin to your physical facility more accurately.

Organize with Hierarchical Asset Structures

You can now nest assets within one another to mirror your actual plant layout. Instead of flat lists, you can organize your monitoring by site, production line, or specific machine assemblies. This makes it easier to navigate large-scale deployments and ensures your team finds the right data without searching through hundreds of sensors.

Define Relationships and Asset Types

Beyond simple nesting, you can now define how assets relate to one another and categorize them by type. Standardizing asset types—like centrifugal pumps or HVAC units—means you can manage groups of equipment more effectively across different locations. Mapping relationships helps you understand dependencies between your hardware, leading to faster troubleshooting during downtime.

Refined Device Setup and Modbus Tools

We have added improvements to the configuration workflow to make device onboarding faster:

  • Variable Import Tracking: When importing variables to a device, the system now displays a count of the items being added, giving you immediate confirmation of the data being mapped.
  • Modbus SDK Enhancements: The Modbus SDK editor includes a new button to create variables directly within the interface, reducing the steps needed to get a PLC or controller communicating with the platform.

Data Processors: Complex Logic at the Edge

The new Data Processors feature brings powerful real-time computation capabilities directly to the ControlCom Edge Server, version 2.7.0

Value Transforms modify incoming sensor data on-the-fly using mathematical expressions before publishing—ideal for unit conversions, scaling factors, or threshold-based type conversions. Each transform is ranked, allowing multiple operations to chain together for complex processing pipelines.

Virtual Variables take this a step further by enabling computed values that don't exist in the physical data source. By referencing multiple real variables in an expression (e.g., device_var1 + device_var2), you can create derived metrics like totals, averages, or conditional flags—calculated and published alongside raw data.

Both features support numeric, boolean, and string return types, with graceful error handling that logs issues without disrupting data flow. The result: faster, smarter edge intelligence.

Explorer v2, Professional IoT Time-Series Data Analysis

Overview

Explorer v2 is a professional-grade time-series data visualization and analysis tool designed for IoT device monitoring and operations. It provides real-time and historical data exploration with advanced statistical analysis, intelligent time-range management, and high-performance rendering capable of handling 10,000+ data points smoothly.

What's New

Raw Mode — See unprocessed sensor data for the last hour. Great for troubleshooting recent issues or checking what's happening right now. Limited to 16 variables max to keep things fast.

Aggregated Mode — View statistical summaries over any time range. Add the same variable multiple times with different aggregations (MIN, MAX, AVG, etc.) to compare patterns. No variable limits.

In Aggregated Mode, you can view data as MIN, MAX, AVG, SUM, Standard Deviation, Sample Count, Kurtosis, First Value, or Last Value. Add the same sensor multiple times with different aggregations to see the full picture — like plotting MIN, MAX, and AVG of a temperature sensor together to see its range.

Buckets have range requirements (e.g., 1-hour buckets need at least 24 hours of data). When you pick an incompatible bucket, Explorer suggests three ways to fix your time range: extend/shrink the end date, extend/shrink the start date, or center and adjust both. Click any suggestion and it applies the fix, switches buckets, and refreshes your data.

Renders 10,000+ data points smoothly without lag. Panels resize by dragging, charts zoom and pan, and hovering table columns highlights the chart series. Time jump buttons let you skip forward/backward by preset intervals. Export to CSV with one click.

How people use it

For troubleshooting, switch to Raw Mode and look at the last hour of unprocessed data. For monthly reports, use Aggregated Mode with 1-day buckets and plot MIN, MAX, and AVG together to show daily ranges. To find problem devices, compare the Standard Deviation across multiple devices — high variability usually means something's wrong.

Coming soon

Alarm overlays on the timeline, annotations for specific time periods, and side-by-side time range comparison.
