Creating an asset in Asset Manager
Asset Manager is a component of MindSphere. In Asset Manager you model the structure of
an industrial process using assets, types, and aspects.
In order to create an asset in Asset Manager you need to perform the following steps:
1.
Creating aspects and variables (Page 62): In this step you create aspects and variables
you want to use in MindSphere.
2.
Creating a type (Page 66): In this step you create a type with the previous created
aspects and variables.
3.
Creating an asset (Page 69): In this step you create a new asset by selecting a type with
aspects and variables.
6.3.1
Creating aspects and variables
Aspects are combined, pre-configured data and form the context for the evaluation of
industrial processes. An aspect can consist of several variables. Within the industry process,
assets transfer the aspects as time series data in MindSphere.
