Message processing algorithm

1. Determines the incoming message’s originator entity type and looks up its normal name.
2. Routes the message to downstream nodes using the connection with a label that exactly matches the normal name.

Output connections

• Normal name of the originator entity type
  • Used for all messages; the message is routed via the connection whose label exactly matches the normal name.
• Failure:
  • If an unexpected error occurred during message processing.

Examples

The examples below show only the relevant fields of the incoming message. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, other message fields may have any values.

Example 1 — Originator entity type is a DEVICE → routed via Device

Incoming message

Originator entity type is a DEVICE.

Node configuration

1
{}

State of the system

Not relevant.

Result

Routed via Device.

Explanation

For DEVICE, the normal name is Device. The node routes the message via the connection with that exact label.

Example 2 — Originator entity type is an ENTITY_VIEW → routed via Entity View

Incoming message

Originator entity type is an ENTITY_VIEW.

Node configuration

1
{}

State of the system

Not relevant.

Result

Routed via Entity View.

Explanation

For ENTITY_VIEW, the normal name is Entity View. The node routes the message via the connection with that exact label.

Example 3 — Originator entity type is an AI_MODEL → routed via AI model

Incoming message

Originator entity type is an AI_MODEL.

Node configuration

1
{}

State of the system

Not relevant.

Result

Routed via AI model.

Explanation

For AI_MODEL, the normal name is AI model. The node routes the message via the connection with that exact label.
