Note
Industrial security
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Products and solutions from Siemens constitute one element of such a
concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected
to an enterprise network or the Internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary and
only when appropriate security measures (e.g. using firewalls and/or network segmentation)
are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that can be implemented, please
visit:
Industrial security (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity)
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure.
Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they become
available, and that only the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are
no longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customer’s exposure
to cyber threats.

3.7.4 Asset Manager
3.7.4.1 Overview
Functions
"Asset Manager" is a MindSphere application belonging to the Industrial IoT platform of
Siemens. In the "Asset Manager", using assets, you model the structure of an industrial
process within MindSphere.
In the "Asset Manager", connect your machine tool, the asset, with the MindSphere application
and configure the data acquisition.
The specific functions and configuration options for the "SINUMERIK" area are discussed in the
following.
Using an asset type, you can define which aspects should be integrated into the template.
Using asset types, you have the option of creating a template – e.g. for several devices – and
linking this with your aspects. When creating a new asset, you can access the template or the
type.
Aspects are combined, preconfigured data and form the context for evaluating industrial
processes. An aspect can comprise several variables. Within an industrial process, the assets
transfer the aspects in the MindSphere application as time series data.

Security risk through no or weak encryption
If no message encryption has been set up to the client, there is a risk of data manipulation. It
is therefore strongly recommended that you set up a message encryption to the client.
Use the highest possible encryption standard (256 bit) to ensure secure message transmission.
Note
Assigning secure passwords
Observe the following rules when creating new passwords:
● Note that when assigning new passwords you should never assign passwords that can be
easily guessed, such as simple words, easy to guess key sequences on the keyboard, etc.
● Passwords must always contain a combination of upper- and lower-case letters as well as
numbers and special characters. Passwords must comprise at least 8 characters. PINs
must comprise an arbitrary sequence of digits.
● Wherever possible and where it is supported by the IT systems and the software, a
password must always have a character sequence as complex as possible.

Aspects
Aspects or variable sets are a group of the same data points / variables and describe the
context of the imported data, e.g. wear.
Asset
For MindSphere, an asset is each connected element that provides data. This can be a
machine or an individual component. In conjunction with this documentation, an "asset" is a
machine tool with SINUMERIK 840D sl.
Asset Manager
The "Asset Manager" is a MindSphere application. The assets of a machine are created and
configured in the "Asset Manager". The application is also used for the management of
customers, users and shop floors.
Data points or variables
For "Manage MyMachines", data points or variables are all the values that can be acquired from
the NC, the PLC and from the drives, e.g. sampling rate, temperature, jerk. They must be
defined and configured in the asset configuration as data points. The data is combined into
aspects. The captured values are then displayed as time series in "Manage MyMachines"
under "Aspects". There are also preconfigured data sets, such as the SINUMERIK basic
configuration and the machine availability. Details can be found in the relevant sections.
MindSphere - Industrial IoT ecosystem from Siemens
MindSphere – the open cloud platform from Siemens – is the core component of a high-
performance IoT operating system. It offers data analysis, comprehensive connectivity, tools
for developers, applications and services. MindSphere supports you in the analysis and
utilization of your data in order to obtain new insights. In this way, you can optimize your
