Overview of Sinumerik protocol for MindConnect Software Agent¶
The following image shows the data source input window for the Sinumerik protocol:
Note
The supported device types are S7 SINUMERIK, example S7 840D sl.
In order to connect a Sinumerik device, you need to select the Sinumerik protocol and enter the following data source parameters:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
IP Address | IP address of the device. |
Slot Number | Choose the correct slot number, where the “NC unit” of the device is mounted. |
Sinumerik data point parameter¶
In order to collect the data of the Sinumerik device, click "Add Datapoint" to add new datapoint.
The following picture shows the data point parameter window:
The following table shows the parameter of the Sinumerik data point window:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Datapoint Address | Peripheral address strings in WinCC OA must be entered in a symbolic manner using the Siemens BTSS format. Examples: S7Conn1./Nck/Spindle/speedOvr[1], NCK2.@SinumerikErrors@ |
