5.9 Settings for operation on the Industrial Edge device
The Industrial Edge device enables you to install applications including IE Databus, IE Flow
Creator, and IE MQTT Connector.
These apps offer solutions for visualizing data and machine tool-related KPIs which provide
information about the production and machines states.
The Siemens Industrial Edge Hub (https://iehub.eu1.edge.siemens.cloud/) platform also offers
many pre-built apps. For example, the apps "Analyze MyDrives /Edge
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109800585)" or "Predictive Service
Analyzer - Converter" were developed for monitoring the drive train.
Settings
Make all necessary configurations for the MQTT connection to Industrial Edge on both sides:
• MQTT settings must be made on the FDE side.
• Insert the certificate and/or user name and password.
• The USS communication must be configured according to the converter and parameters
must be specified manually or via a template (only valid for G120).
The settings and the installation of the Edge applications are described in the Industrial Edge
