5.5 Communication with MindSphere
Benefits: MindSphere
(https://new.siemens.com/global/en/products/software/mindsphere.html) is a cloud-based,
open IoT (Internet of Things) operating system from Siemens, with which you connect your
low-voltage power distribution system to the digital world.
With 7KN Powercenter 3000, data of the smart switchgear assembly, e.g. energy values or
states, are transferred into MindSphere in settable cycles. In MindSphere, these data are
stored, evaluated, and further processed across all devices.
To handle the large volume of data in MindSphere, the 7KN Powercenter 3000 provides setup
information in MindSphere. The 7KN Powercenter 3000 even offers cost-efficient handling of
factors relevant to costs, such as data volume and transfer rate, in MindSphere. For a general
understanding of communication with MindSphere, we recommend the manual Getting
connected to MindSphere V3
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109755908).
Performance features 7KN POWERCENTER 3000:
• Mapping of the connected SENTRON devices on one device, referred to as asset.
• Optimized data volume to MindSphere.
• If communication with MindSphere is interrupted, up to 250,000 data points are buffered
in 7KN Powercenter 3000 and are subsequently transmitted when communication
becomes available.
• Simple, fast and web-based onboarding (= logon)
• Supports MindSphere application "SENTRON powermind" for many SENTRON devices in a
special way. See Communication with SENTRON powermind (Page 61).
• Supports any MindSphere application, e.g. Fleet-Manager, through the specific provision
of data from the smart switchgear assembly. See MindSphere application support
(Page 63).
