Overview

Using this function, you can individually configure which data is sent from the machine to MindSphere and how this data is sent. If a specific alarm occurs, for example, you can define that the HMI trace, NC status and machine data are sent from the machine to MindSphere.

The MindSphere "Shopfloor Management Application" application allows you to individually configure the following trigger:

It is also possible to copy all configurations of one asset to another asset.

Precondition

  • Manage MyMachines is activated for the required asset or the activation date has been defined to be in the future.
    More information is provided in Chapter: Activating/deactivating Manage MyMachines

    For an activation data in the future, the previously set configurations only become active on the activation date.

  • To send HMI traces to MindSphere, the HMI action log on the machine must be activated for the following data:

    • HMI trace

    • NCU data

    • Machine data
