# Addressing

In order to map the variable with the field in database you need to define the following parameters in the variable address:

* The field that must be presented by the variable e.g.: *value*, *time*, *last*, *ts\_value*
* Tags (pairs key-value) to identify the time series, e.g.: *value\_type='temperature',location='CA'* or *tsid='Group1.TimeSeries1',su='MJqdilungXgCeSqAF5sGUq=='*
* Target data type

Address can be specified by using the following template:

```
TAG1_KEY='TAG1_VALUE',TAG2_KEY='TAG2_VALUE',...,TAGN_KEY='TAGN_VALUE'[FIELD_NAME]@DATA_TYPE, 
where TAG1_KEY, TAG2_KEY, TAGN_KEY - tag keys, 
TAG1_VALUE, TAG2_VALUE, TAGN_VALUE - tag values, 
FIELD_NAME - field name
and DATA_TYPE - data type
```

The following are examples of available addresses:

* tsid='TS\_Motor1\_Rpm',tsc='DPP1'\[v]@DOUBLE
* country='France',city='Paris',address='40-50 boulevard Lannes',location='room 123',value\_type='fire\_alarm'\[value]@BOOLEAN
