Function block to post 8 values to InfluxDB

scoobsalamander · 2019-02-26 23:38:03

Just want to share a function block which can be used to post 8 values to an influxdb (open source time series database).
Definitely not finished and still room for improvement...

The data in the database can then be visualised by means of Grafana.
Both, Grafana and Influxdb, are running on my Synology NAS as a docker container image and this is working just fine for months now without any interruption.

All Grafana charts can be also used in REXYGEN HMI Designer by linking the URL of the chart with the 'Custom HTML.svg' found in the library.

srcfile.c
INFLUX.mdl

Hi scoobsalamander,
awesome. Any plans to turn it into a library subsystem for the newest version 2.50.8?

Kind regards,
Jaroslav

Hi Jaroslav,

I just made my first library file and included the INFLUXDB - function block by dragging it into it.
What should I do with the srcfile.c for the REXLANG FB which is used inside this function block? I think I still need to copy it into the folder, correct?

Hi,
yes the REXLANG source file (typically *.c or *.stl) must be put into the same folder as the library itself (*.mdl).

Kind regards,
Jaroslav
