Configuring data in Asset Manager
7
After onboarding a MindConnect Element, you need to configure the data in Asset Manager.
You have to set up a data connection to receive data from your MindConnect Element.
In order to use the data from your MindConnect Element in MindSphere you need to a map
the received data to the Asset Manager data model.
Asset Manager uses the following areas:
● Assets
● Types
● Aspects
In order to configure data in Asset Manager you need to fulfill the following steps:
● Creating aspects and variables (Page 53)
In this step you create aspects and variables you want to use in MindSphere.
● Creating an asset type (Page 56)
In this step you create an asset type to enable datamapping.
● Adding a datasource and datapoints (Page 58)
The data source defines the reading of the data from the MindConnect Element.
● Datamapping (Page 62)
In this final step you map the data of the MindConnect Element to the aspects and
variables in MindSphere.
7.1 Creating aspects and variables
To use the data of your MindConnect Element in MindSphere you need to create aspects
and variables in Asset Manager.
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 timeseries data in MindSphere.
In Asset Manager you can create aspect types. Aspect types are pre-configured templates
for aspects. The advantage of aspects types is to use one type for several assets. For
example, you can create one aspect type for all generators of a wind farm with the variable
rotation speed.
