3.2 Creating an aspect and variables for MindConnect Nano
To use the data of your MindConnect Element 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 time series data.
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.
