dataFEED OPC Server CNC

Simple data access with high performance for CNC controls

dataFEED OPC Server CNC is a component of the dataFEED OPC Suite and bundles functionalities for the quick and convenient access to process and diagnostic data in Siemens SINUMERIK CNC control systems. All process parameters can be read out from the NC part (axis, tool, program data, alarms) and the PLC part (status, program sections, alarms) and the drive data without intervention in the machine configuration. 

As an OPC Classic Server (and/or optional OPC UA Server), dataFEED OPC Server CNC allows the integration of Siemens SINUMERIK CNC control systems in modern Industry 4.0 solutions. Optionally, the MQTT or REST protocols can be used to transfer the production data in IoT Cloud or Big Data applications on the Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS and Siemens MindSphere platforms.

Overview

Access to data from the PLC, NC and drive section of a Siemens SINUMERIK 840D Solution Line

  • Data integration in higher-ranking management software, such as ERP, MES or process visualization systems
  • Access to NC section with axis, tool, program and drive data as well as specific alarms
  • Use of the data for analysis, status monitoring, anticipatory maintenance or recording purposes
  • No additional Siemens licenses required
  • Commissioning with out NC or control programming possible

Simple and quick OPC Server configuration

  • User-friendly graphic configuration interface
  • Configuration assistant with practice-oriented presets
  • Pre-defined namespace, adjustable for specific machine data records
  • Automatic tool recognition and list of all available magazines and tools

Gateway to IT applications and IoT Clouds (optional)

  • Enhancement with dataFEED OPC Organizer UA for the integration of non-OPC UA capable components, such as Siemens SINUMERIK CNC control systems in OPC UA applications
  • Enhancement with dataFEED MQTT Connector for the integration of automation units via MQTT Publisher/Subscriber functionality in IoT Cloud applications, such as Microsoft Azure Cloud
  • State-of-the-art security thanks to the authentication and encryption including support of certificates
