MQTT
General
- Parent ID
-
The ID of the superior node (parent node) of the selected node.
- Node ID
-
The internal name of the node. Changes to the ID will not be applied to a script automatically. Therefore, all scripts where the Node ID is used must be edited in case of changes.
Note: Not permitted characters for an ID are: dot ".", colon ":", semicolon ";", comma ",", right or left square brackets "[ ]", right or left curly brackets "{ }", blanks, tabulator "/t", question mark "?", asterisk "*", backslash "\", slash "/", percent sign "%", callsign "!", right or left brackets "( )" dollar symbol "$", the commercial at symbol "@" and all other special characters except for underline "_". - Node name
-
Node name that is used within the user interface. This name can be defined in multiple languages.
- Datapoint
-
Data points or data point elements can be assigned to each node which means that it is possible to access elements and values of a data point via the node. Therefore, it is possible to create custom structures regardless of the actual data point structure in the PARA. The appropriate data point from the DP view can be added to the data point text field per Drag & Drop.
- ID path
-
Unique path which shows the position of a node. The node can be addressed in scripts via this path. Starting point of the path is the system node.
- Name path
-
The name path shows the node path within the view.

- Apply for this node and subnodes - Settings are applied for this node as well as child nodes
- Read
-
Defines if the node value is readable.
