This module acts as an adapter, bridging Niagara's internal data to the Honeywell Forge cloud platform.

Once installed, the CloudConnector component provides device registration and a secure connection to the Honeywell Forge cloud platform. The Niagara Cloud then provides an application protocol to share data to the cloud.

The overall data flow occurs as follows: The station includes the NiagaraCloudNetwork and CloudSentienceDevice, which contains alarms, histories, points, system commands and events. This station also includes the CloudConnector component, which has an established connection to the cloud platform. Data are sent from the station to this cloud platform. As data enter the platform, some are stored in databases while other data are held in Event Hubs. Separately, there are cloud-based web applications, which consume the data, retrieving and reading data from either the Event Hub or REST APIs.
