Calling the SITRANS CC240 web server (Page 52)
2. Open MindSphere.
3. Call up the Asset Manager.
4. Create an Aspect of the "Dynamic" category.
5. To upload the "CC240_GenericHART_aspect.csv" import template, use the "Import tags"
function under "Add tag".
6. Create a Type.
7. Add the previously created aspect to the type in the "Aspects list".
8. Create an asset with the previously created type.
⇒ You can find the aspects assigned to the type in the asset in the Aspects list.
9. Create an additional asset that represents SITRANS CC240. In MindSphere, this
SITRANS CC240 asset corresponds to an Agent.
– Type: MindConnectLib core.mclib
– Security profile: SHARED_SECRET
Do not generate an onboarding key in this step yet. Generate the onboarding key only after

"Unique_ID" of the HART device.
You can find the "Unique_ID" on the SITRANS CC240 web server "Dashboard > Data Logging
| Cloud Connectivity".
14.Link each data point to the tag from the asset by selecting the option "Link tag" in the "Data
point connection" tab.
