Consolidating incoming data

Hi,

Hoping someone can help and it may be a bit of a noobie question. But I have a ADAM-6717 module, the Get AI (get anolog inputs) and Get DIO (Digital Input / Outputs). These output data all at the same time when triggered, what I wanted to do was get the information in one payload and ordered correctly. Currently I've added delays to collate the information. But surely there is a better of acomplishing this task.

Thanks,

Yes. Don't use array mode for the join node. Use the key/value object mode and topics. That way, any items arriving out of order always end up in the same object key. Every time.

See this article in the cookbook for an example of how to join messages into one object.

Thanks @Steve-Mcl. Much for effiecient, now I can read them all and the join block allocates the 6 values for me by key. Exactly what I was after. Appreciate the help.
