MindConnect Nano:

The MindConnect Nano box offers a high performance IoT connector at a reasonable cost. It can handle a steady stream of data that it transfers to the MindSphere platform. The unit has a data reading cycle of up to 250 data points per second while

undergoing a data transfer cycle every 10 seconds. This inflow and outflow of data allows for constant monitoring of the industrial process while allowing near real-time business insight into the machine being monitored by the MindConnect Nano.

MindConnect IOT2040:

The MindConnect IoT2040 is the entry level dedicated IoT connector that creates a direct link between the infrastructure and MindSphere without being cost prohibitive. This agent has a data reading cycle of up to 30 data points per second while undergoing a data transfer cycle every 10 seconds. This exchange is rightsized for the volume of a smaller production environment.
