Replace the current driver with the MTConnect driver

Procedure

To integrate "MTConnect", you have to replace the current driver with the MTConnect driver. To do this, adapt the "settings.ini" configuration file of the client.

If the client was installed in the standard directory, then the "settings.ini" file is located in the following directory:

C:\Program Files(x86)\Siemens\MH\settings.ini

  1. Open the file with any editor.
