MindConnect IoT Extension

MindConnect IoT Extension is a component of MindSphere™, the industrial IoT platform from Siemens. It enables you to connect different types of devices to MindSphere and to use software agents and SDKs.

MindConnect IoT Extension gives you very fast visibility and control over connected assets, like machines, phones, or any other devices that is required to be managed. It provides certified hardware kits and software libraries that you can use to bring remote assets into the cloud.

MindConnect IoT Extension offers various functionalities. For example,

• Device management, data visualization, and remote-control functionality through the web
• Rapid customization of the above through MindConnect IoT Extension
• APIs for extending and automizing the existing functionality or interfacing MindConnect IoT Extension
• MQTT endpoint to enable performant and low latency data connection

To connect the Cloud Client to MindConnect IoT, follow these steps:

• Get MindConnect IoT Configuration

• Configuring the CloudClient MindSphere

Note
MindConnect IoT Extension is created automatically in the MindSphere as soon as you create the MindSphere Cloud Client in the Cloud Connector Configurator and the connection to the MindSphere is established. In that case, you must not create a device in the MindSphere.
