Introduction

The Signal Catalog enables editing of signal definitions used across the organization's fleet.

In addition, you can migrate all currently applied signal definitions from the machines' PDCs to the DataPlatform or DataPortal. This allows you to edit the repeated signal definitions for all machines at once, instead of editing identical signal definitions separately in each machine's PDC, which previously led to redundant work and conflicts.

This guide describes how to migrate signal definitions to the Signal Catalog, and how to add a new signal once migration is in use.

Start with the migration of system-used metrics

Focus first on migrating the System-Used Signals (value.common.*), i.e. the standard metrics used for DataPlatform standard features such as the Machine Companion App (Google Play), Maintenance Tasks, and OEM Insights. Also start with other easy-to-migrate signals, e.g. signals without conflicts or with predefined units. This allows you to continue using the DataPlatform and DataPortal while migrating the remaining signals subsequently.

Examples of system-used metrics:

value.common.machine.hours.operation.total
value.common.engine.fuel.level
value.common.machine.distance.total
