Glossary
Aspect
Aspects are a data modeling mechanisms for assets. Aspects group the datapoints based on
logical sense. For example: The pump skid has an aspect e.g. “Energy_consumption” that
contains the datapoints: "power", "current", "voltage" etc.
Aspect is specified in Asset Manager and its name can be freely chosen, but should bring
together a logical grouping of datapoints and a physical asset.
Asset
An asset is a digital representation of a machine or an automation system with one or
multiple automation units (e.g. PLC) connected to MindSphere.
MindSphere data collection and data provisioning is based on so called (virtual) assets. This
can be anything such as a pump, motor, PLC, an entire tool machine, a production line, a
robot, a crane, a car, a windmill and so on. The data of an asset is collected and sent to
MindSphere to make that data available for further processing and analytics.
Asset Identifier
Asset Identifier is an identifier assigned by the manufacturer of the device, to which
MindConnect Nano will be connected. After the onboarding process, MindConnect Nano is
connected to this device. The serial number identifies the asset to which the data belongs.
Asset Manager
Asset Manager is a Web Graphical User Interface for asset configuration. According to these
configurations, the following functions are available:
●
Asset Configuration: assets can be created, onboarded, modified, cloned, moved, deleted
or offboarded.
Asset Type
