Industrial IoT TypeScript SDKTypeScript/JavaScript Community SDK for Industrial IoT APIs. It implements support for both browser (e.g. angular, react...) and backend development in node.js and it supports all different Industrial IoT authentication types (Cookies, UserCredentials, AppCredentials, ServiceCredentials, Agents). It is packaged as part of @mindconnect/mindconnect-nodejs library.
MindConnect-NodeJSThis is a nodejs library which can be used as a starting point for custom field to cloud connectivity implementation in node.js. The library comes with support for TimeSeries, Events and File Upload and it can create and update the DataSourceConfiguration and the Mappings in Industrial IoT platform. The most recent feature is support for automatic mappings to the asset instances.

Industrial IoT - Connectivity Libraries

NameDescription
MindConnect Library v3The MindConnect Library v3 is a collection of functionalities which allows a client application to connect and exchange data with Siemens Industrial IoT Platform.
MindConnect Library v4The MindConnect Library v4 is the successor of MindConnect Library v3 with a new architecture improving performance, reducing footprint and simplifying user customization. You can download the MindConnect Library from the Siemens Industry Online Support (SIOS) or clone it from GitHub.
MindConnect Node-RED NodeA Node-RED node which can be used to upload the time series data, files and events to the cloud. The node runs on x86, Raspberry PI, SIMATIC IOT 2040 and is also available as a docker container on Docker Hub. There are also live flow examples with flows sending e.g. the OPC UA or MQTT Data to the cloud at https://playground.mindconnect.rocks
Siemens Industrial EdgeOpen source projects and samples for the open Industrial Edge computing platform from Siemens. The full list of examples is available on GitHub.

Industrial Edge Tools and SDKs

NameDescription
IIH Development KitIIH Essentials is a central data storage for Industrial Edge, connecting you with many data sources available on the platform. Using the IIH Essentials Development Kit​ you can develop apps based on the IIH Essentials and integrate them into Siemens Industrial Edge.
Industrial Edge Control (IECTL)Industrial Edge Control (IECTL) is a Command Line Interface to interact with Industrial Edge and its components.
Industrial Edge Device KitThe IE Device Kit API is based on gRPC which provides a modern intermediate process communication style for building distributed applications and microservices. The Industrial Edge platform provides and maintains the protobuf specification files for the APIs contained in the IE Device Kit. The device kit repositories are available on GitHub: IE Device Kit System Service IE Device Kit Onboard Service IE Device Kit Ntp Service IE Device Kit Network Service
EdgeSharkDiscover the virtual communication of containers in (Docker) container hosts, such as the Siemens Industrial Edge and capture container traffic live from the comfort of your Desktop's Wireshark with a simple click.

PLM Components SDKs

NameDescription
JT Open Toolkit (JTTK)Take advantage of the widely adopted JT file format for 3D model data collaboration and visualization in your applications. The JT Open Toolkit is a C++ API that enables your applications to read and write ISO-compliant JT files. The JT Open Toolkit provides support for 64-bit application development on Microsoft Windows, Linux and MacOS. Purchasers of the JT Open Toolkit are automatically accepted into the JT Open Program as fee-based members. The toolkit includes full documentation for the Toolkit API and PLM XML SDK.
JT2GoView and interact with 3D data on your choice of desktop/mobile platform using JT2Go—our free viewer for JT and Parasolid XT data. JT COMPONENTS JT2Go View and interact with 3D data on your choice of desktop and mobile platforms using JT2Go - Siemens Digital Industries Software free viewer for JT and Parasolid XT data. Collaborate with the ISO-standard JT data format at no cost. Choose your preferred viewer—our comprehensive desktop application, or mobile solutions on iOS and Android.
PLM XMLImprove collaboration efficiency throughout the product lifecycle by supporting workflows requiring application integration, interoperability and data sharing. A lightweight, flexible mechanism for transporting high-content product data, PLM XML represents a variety of product data both explicitly and via references. PLM XML schemas are the basis of a rich interoperability pipeline connecting Siemens Digital Industries Software products and third-party adopter applications. PLM XML is complementary to existing and emerging XML-based standards.
ParasolidDeliver leading applications in product design, simulation and manufacturing with Parasolid. With 900+ functions, Parasolid supports a range of modeling techniques, including solid modeling, direct editing and free-form surface/sheet modeling. Parasolid also delivers convergent modeling technology, which extends its robust B-rep modeling functions to models based on facet representations.
D-CubedAccelerate your 3D software development with D-Cubed components: productivity-enhancing solutions for your computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) applications. D-Cubed components are used across industries to accelerate the design and manufacture of products from consumer goods to aircraft engines and commercial buildings.
KineoExplore our portfolio of Kineo software components for automatic motion planning, collision detection and flexible cable simulation. These technologies are integrated into software applications for automotive, aerospace, energy, shipbuilding and manufacturing industries. Applications include industrial robot simulation, digital mockup, assembly/disassembly verification and accessibility studies.
Geolus Shape SearchFind similar parts no matter how they are named and enable informed decisions in virtually every aspect of PLM, from design to process planning to procurement. The part you are about to design might already exist. Consolidation of suppliers of similar parts is an opportunity to negotiate a better price. This data exists within the enterprise but is scattered—hidden in plain sight—by the inconsistent naming that confounds traditional search.
3D Visualization SDKImplement optimal graphical representations of your 3D models with your choice of 3D visualization SDK (Software Developer Kit) from Siemens. Create stunning photorealistic renderings that leave little to the imagination, or focus on engineering-oriented output with model sections and annotations. Choose a software component to match your requirements in terms of breadth of functional requirements, quality of rendering and platform support.
Simcenter Femap OEMCreate, edit and evaluate finite element models of complex products/systems using advanced CAE pre- and post-processors to model components, assemblies or systems. Minimize costly prototyping using best-in-class simulation workflows. Simcenter Femap is an advanced simulation pre- and post-processor for creating and editing finite element models of complex products. Powerful data-driven results visualization help you evaluate and improve product performance.
