MTConnect is a protocol designed for the exchange of data between shop floor equipment and software applications used for monitoring and data analysis.
The first section provides information on the protocol and structure of the XML documents via XML schemas. The second section specifies the machine tool components and the description of the available data. The third and last section specifies the organization of the data streams that can be provided from a manufacturing device.
MTConnect is a protocol designed for the exchange of data between shop floor equipment and software applications used for monitoring and data analysis.
*The main benefit of MTConnect is that it enables data from a varied range of machines to have common values, units, names and context.
*Standardized vocabulary and semantics of the information models.
*Provides a read-only feature which prevents any inadvertent changes to the machine parameters.
*Based on open internet standards like HTTP & XML which allows easy adoption.
*Enables interoperability with multiple open standards like OPC UA, B2MMl, UMATI.
MTConnect is a manufacturing technical standard to retrieve process information from numerically controlled machine tools.
Commonly used in aerospace and die-mold CNCs. This device adapter enables you to acquire and output production and process data from machines with Heidenhain controllers. Adapted Controllers are TNC430, TNC620, TNC640 and iTNC530. Also, you can read or write PLC data values and machine parameters. Important Note: For Heidenhain, we don't need Option 18. This saves 1000Euro per machine.
Mazak has widely range machine types and different controllers. Mainly MAZAK uses their own controller which is named MAZATROL. We added Mazak MTConnect adapter in Q4 2020. For now, We only support (already tested) Mazak Machines with MAZATROL SMART controllers. For other types of MAZATROLs, we are working on it.
