MindConnect Hardware Release Notes

General

  • Firmware version: V03.03.00.04

  • MindSphere provides a highly reliable system, however the MindConnect can be affected by system internal incidents.

  • The MindConnect system sends data into the MindSphere. If the data provider (e.g. OPC server) is not available a value "0" with a bad quality code will be send up. To see the quality code in the IoT model it's necessary that the quality code is always turned on at the creation of aspects.

  • We recommend to use an OPC UA server as data source with a certificate.

  • For a connection to MindSphere Region China 1 the MindConnect Nano/IoT2040 has to have a firmware V3.3.0.4. or higher
