RECON CONNECT - Data collection from CNC and conventional machines
Universal connectivity for CNC and conventional machines
RECON CONNECT makes data available from machines and unifies their transmission. In the basic package RECON MES standard machine connection via CONNECT is already included; CONNECT can also be deployed separately for data collection and transmission.
Most plants have machines from different manufacturers and with different age control systems. The data exists, but every machine provides it differently or at all. CONNECT is a layer that makes them accessible and unified to one standard, so superior systems read from all machines in the same way - from a modern machining center to a conventional machine with a PLC.
Key benefits
- Standardised access via OPC UA protocol
- Direct connection to SQL database, MQTT and company systems
- Part of the basic package RECON MES and the possibility of independent deployment
Supported control systems and data sources
- Fanuc - two-way secure communication
- Siemens NC i PLC - two-way secure communication
- Heidenhain - without DNC 18 one way, with DNC 18 two way
- Mitsubishi - two-way secure communication
- Conventional machines - one way through collection of current load and 24 V signals
- MTConnect - one-way communication, we can translate it into OPC UA standard
- RECON API - information on request
- ReCON Client - storing data into MS SQL or MariaDB
How deployment is taking place
- Connection via the CNC system Ethernet connection; for conventional PLC installation machines
- OPC UA server on hardware from TAJMAC-ZPS, or virtualized on customer server
- The customer determines which information from the machine can be read and written
- Three discounted packages according to the number of information collected
- Third party programs with OPC UA client can read data directly
- Enlargement of connectivity with Power BI for creating own reports
Who the module is for
- IT and maintenance - one place to connect machines
- Production Director - data from all machines in the same shape
- Custom solution supplier - data reading via OPC UA or RECON API
Deployment prerequisites
- Ethernet connection of machine control system; for conventional PLC installation machines
- OPC UA server on hardware from TAJMAC-ZPS or virtualized on customer server
- Customer decisions which information will be read and written down
Availability
Standard machine connection is included in the basic package RECON MES. CONNECT can also be deployed separately; There are three preferential packages according to the number of information collected.
