Templates
For cloud systems that are explicitly supported, you will find templates that you can select
and adapt to the requirements of the cloud system, if needed. You change the code in the
"User data format" text box. If the code meets the requirements, do not change it.
The following templates are available:
● MindConnect IoT Extension
Template for the connection to:
– MindSphere (Siemens) / MindConnect IoT Extension
● JSON
Template for the connection to:
– AWS (Amazon) / IoT Core
– Azure (Microsoft) / IoT Hub
– IBM Cloud / Watson IoT Platform
● XML
Template for the connection to cloud services which expect the XML format for
processing topics.
The "MindConnect IoT Extension" format is displayed in the default setting.
