4 WebAPI Connection Function
4-1

Function Overview

The WebAPI Connection Function transfers data (CSV files) collected by the Time Series Database
Function from the AI Controller to the Web server periodically. You will use this function when you
transfer data (CSV files) collected by the Time Series Database Function to the Web server and save
and analyze the data.
Since the WebAPI Connection Function works by configuring the settings on the AI Operator, you do
not prepare a user program to transfer files.

Precautions for Correct Use
