Understand the iX4.0 IoT data the machine provides.
The iX4.0 IoT data is structured in property sets. Each property set covers a specific aspect of the machine. There are property sets for which the machine provides regular updates even if no signal has changed. Other property sets are only updated if something has changed. However, the machine only sends data every 10 seconds. So if a signal has changed several times, only the latest value is sent with the next update message. The only exception are alarms, which are always sent when they occur.
