Integrating Existing Power Distribution Systems Into The Digitalization; Cloud Applications With The 7Kn Powercenter 3000 - Siemens SENTRON 7KN POWERCENTER 3000 Manual

6.5 Integrating existing power distribution systems into the digitalization

6.5 Integrating existing power distribution systems into the
digitalization
Low-voltage power distribution systems are very long-lived.
They are expanded, converted and must be integrated into digitalization solutions that
already exist or came about in another way.
7KN Powercenter 3000 provides the following options for both upward (North Bound) and
downward (South Bound) integration.
6.5.1

Cloud applications with the 7KN Powercenter 3000

Digitalization solutions, such as energy management and status monitoring, e.g. with SCADA
systems (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), have so far often been implemented
based on PCs.
For this purpose, 7KN Powercenter 3000 provides the solution of using 7KN POWERCENTER
3000 as a Modbus gateway (Page 78).
Comparable applications are currently being implemented in cloud-based systems.
7KN Powercenter 3000 supports not only SENTRON powermind and MindSphere but many
other cloud systems, such as AWS (Amazon Web Services) and Microsoft Azure, through an
MQTT interface that is as universal as possible. See chapter Cloud service with MQTT
(Page 68)
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is the language of cloud systems with the real
world.
With powerconfig, information about the individual devices are defined that are to be offered
or published in the cloud system by 7KN Powercenter 3000.
Via the web user interface, the final connectivity is established between
7KN Powercenter 3000 and the cloud system.
