TechSolve – Viz-Adapter MTConnect
■
Overview
Viz-Adapter MTConnect
TechSolve's VizProducts adapter software offers MTConnect
support for SINUMERIK 840D sl CNCs so that information can
be recorded with the open source standard of MTConnect to
improve the interoperability between devices and software
applications. With the adapter software, combined with tool
information, users can extract the control mode, the execution
status, the program name, and block, line and variable informa-
tion such as messages and alarms. Customer-specific versions
are available which can provide almost any SINUMERIK vari-
able. Typical applications are machine monitoring, measuring
the overall equipment efficiency (OEE), alarm tracking, and
monitoring of productivity.
