Data point
Data points refer to elements (variables), which allow values to be obtained from data
sources. They are combined into a relevant aspect. For example, "temperature" and "torque"
are data points of an aspect "Energy_consumption".
Data points are configured in "Asset Manager".
Data source
A data source is a physical element of a device, which can be monitored by MindSphere.
MindSphere
MindSphere is the Siemens Industrial IoT operating system comprising the core cloud
services and applications, whereas the SINAMICS CONNECT provides secure and easy
connectivity from your converter to MindSphere. In MindSphere, the data acquired and
submitted by the SINAMICS CONNECT is processed and stored for analysis and further
management purposes.
For more information, refer to the "MindSphere" documentation.
MindSphere Launchpad
MindSphere Launchpad is the entry point for Components as well as for available MindApps.
Time series
Time series is a sequence of measurements which are produced by data sources over time.
Analysis and visualization tools can retrieve collected time series and present it to the user
after processing. In Asset Manager, the measurements, that have to be collected, can be
specified.
