- Tablets and smartphones – Android and iOS
- Available in 10 different languages
Higher plant availability thanks to optimized maintenance management
- Display of alarms and conditions of all connected protection and measuring devices, e.g. status, trip causes, temperature, and operating hours
- Up-to-date information on definable events via e-mail and web interface
Your benefits:
- Reliable monitoring of the health status of all protection and switching devices
- Fast locating of sources of error and faults
- Avoidance of plant downtimes and failures
- Preventive planning of maintenance jobs
Reliability thanks to reliable notification function
- Notification via the web interface and/or e-mail when irregularities in operation occur, e.g. malfunction, disrupted service, tripped switch, limit value violation, or operator action
- Events to be reported can be selected on the basis of cause and significance
- Limit values, delay times, and significance can be individually configured for alarms
Your benefits:
- The right amount of up-to-date information
- Shorter response times for countermeasures
- Avoidance of failures thanks to prompt interventions

Data transfer to the cloud with 7KN Powercenter 3000
For cloud-based data storage and analysis, 7KN Powercenter 3000 offers an optional plug&operate connection to Siemens’ MindSphere and to other cloud systems like Azure, AWS, Alibaba, etc., via MQTT.
With MindSphere and SENTRON powermind, programming and data mapping are reduced. 7KN Powercenter 3000 and SENTRON powermind are optimally coordinated with one another. This simplifies onboarding and ensures that SENTRON powermind adopts your settings and dashboards.

Cloud-based power and condition monitoring in the app with SENTRON powermind
Whether for a single location or multiple properties, the SENTRON powermind MindSphere application allows you to perform cloud-based, real-time analyses of your power and condition data. The app provides you with an overview of the power consumption and condition of your low-voltage power distribution. You can then compare power consumption during different time periods, both for individual electrical consumers and for entire plants.ISO 50001-compliant
The consistent acquisition of all relevant power data, along with analysis options and functions like Quick Report for data export, forms the optimal basis for operational power management according to ISO 50001 or regularly scheduled energy audits, e.g. according to DIN EN 16247.
- Identification of energy saving potential by comparing energy and power consumption during different time periods
- Identification and prevention of peak loads to reduce overall energy costs thanks to the display of power consumption
Identify potential savings thanks to high data transparency
SENTRON powermind helps you identify and counteract energy wastage and unusually high consumption patterns.
- Identification by:
- Comparing weekday/weekend consumption
- Distributing energy flows in the Sankey diagram - Locating of points of high consumption (location/time) thanks to the visualization of consumers via a heatmap
Higher reliability and longer service life thanks to condition monitoring
- Health Indicator: Indicates health status of the circuit breaker (3VA, 3WA) as a percentage
- Remaining Lifetime: Displays the circuit breaker’s remaining service life
- Notifications of abnormal conditions via e-mail and push notifications
- Service life extended because actions are taken promptly before problems occur
- Optimized maintenance deployments and scheduling by deriving remaining service life
Power monitoring of multiple properties from a central location
- Map of the most important data and information on multiple properties, including search and zoom functions
- Energy-efficiency icon for each property with comparison of power consumption (kWh) for previous/current week and previous/current month, percentage of deviation, and link to property on the map
Your benefits:
- Quick overview of multiple properties
- Easy access to individual properties
