AxedaProtocolAdapter Thing Template
The AxedaProtocolAdapter Thing Template defines the set of properties, services, and events that are used to represent a Connector in ThingWorx.
When initialized, the Connector verifies that the AxedaProtocolAdapter Thing exists, and if not, it creates and initializes a new AxedaProtocolAdapter Thing.

It is important to keep in mind that "Identifier" in the name of the service is NOT the Identifier property in ThingWorx. Rather it is the model and serial number properties of a Thing.
