Components
Components represent built-in functionality in MindSphere. Components are:
● Asset Manager
● Fleet Manager
● User Management
● UTC Reporting
For the complete list and description of Components, refer to the “MindSphere”
documentation.
Datapoint
Datapoints refer to elements (variables), which allow values to be obtained from datasources
(OPC UA or S7 etc.). They are combined into a relevant aspect. For example, “temperature”
and “torque” are datapoints of an aspect “Energy_consumption”.
Datapoints are configured in "Asset Manager”. In “Fleet Manager”, their values are visualized
as timeseries.
Datasource
A datasource is a physical element of a device, which can be monitored by MindSphere.
For example: OPC UA Server, S7.
Event
In "Fleet Manager", an event is a change of a datapoint state. Events are used for the
requests. With a rule it is possible to define the request, which will be created in MindSphere
when the event is triggered
Besides the monitoring rule, a description of event (e.g. “The limit is exceeded, this may
indicate damage in the pump”), the resulting action (e.g. “Please contact your hotline”) and
priority (urgent, important or info) can be lodged.
See also “request”, “rule".
Fleet Manager
Fleet Manager is a visualization tool which provides an overview of existing assets and their
information (asset name, customer name, location). Fleet Manager displays your configured
asset, aspects with datapoints in charts and list of all requests etc.
Last Connection
"Last Connection" status in “Asset Manager” gives the information, when a MindConnect
Element was online for the last time.
