Dashboard Service Subscription
The above diagram presents a timeline of user interactions with the Weincloud Dashboard service, illustrating the various statuses that a user may experience: Unsubscribed, Subscribed, Expired, and Disabled.
The Dashboard service operates on a subscription basis managed through subscription
. The following is a detailed description:
Subscription Card
A subscription card is used to generate a subscription
. The subscription card can have three statuses:
- Unused: Already linked to a subscription but has not yet been used.
- In Use: The subscription card is currently being used.
- Expired: The subscription card has expired.
Subscription
Each subscription
can be assigned to one or more HMIs. Subscriptions are categorized based on the status of the subscription card:
- Unsubscribed: The subscription card has expired for more than 3 months.
- Unused: A subscription card has been added but is not yet assigned to an HMI.
- Subscribed: There is an active subscription card in use.
- Expired: The subscription card has expired, but the expiration date is within the last 7 days.
- Disabled: The subscription card has expired, but the expiration date is within the last 3 months.
HMI Status
The subscription status of the HMI is categorized based on the linked subscription
:
- Unsubscribed: The HMI does not retain any historical data and cannot view past data.
- Subscribed: The HMI operates normally and can save and view all historical data on Weincloud.
- Expired: The HMI continues to operate normally, but users should renew the subscription within a 7-day grace period to prevent the HMI from entering a
Disabled
state. - Disabled: The HMI can still upload data, but Weincloud ceases to save the HMI's data, retaining only previously saved historical data. If the HMI is not re-subscribed during the disabled period, all stored historical data in Weincloud will be deleted after the 3-month
Disabled
period ends.
The table below provides a detailed explanation of the differences between each status:
Status | HMI Uploads Data | View HMI Status on Dashboard | Backup Historical Data | Weincloud Saves HMI Data |
---|---|---|---|---|
Unsubscribed | No | No | No | No |
Subscribed | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Expired | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Disabled | Yes | Yes | Limited | No |
The HMI status is influenced not only by the subscription status but also by the following situation:
Trial
First-time users of the Dashboard can opt for a 3-month free trial and convert to a formal subscription at any time if satisfied.
The status changes during the trial period are as follows:
The trial period provides the same capabilities as a formal subscription, with a slight limitation on the number of backups for historical data, restricted to 3 times per day:
Status | HMI Uploads Data | View HMI Status on Dashboard | Backup Historical Data |
---|---|---|---|
Trial | Yes | Yes | Limited |
Note
- If no new subscription is added by the end of the 3-month free trial, the HMI will become [Unsubscribed].
- The 3-month free trial can be activated when the status is [Unsubscribed], [Expired], or [Disabled].
EasyAccess 2.0
If EasyAccess 2.0 is activated, the HMI will have 20 Dashboard data source tags available but will not be able to save historical data.
