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.
