Softing
CNC data integrated into Industrial Edge applications
Softing expands the 'dataFeed edgeConnector' product family based on Docker technology with the container edgeConnector 840D.
It supports easy access to data from 'Sinumerik 840D' controllers and makes it available via OPC UA and MQTT on edge devices or virtual environments. This enables flexible integration of local OPC UA clients and MQTT brokers into a cloud environment and the industrial IoT. According to the provider, the new Softing software module is the world's first container application for accessing 'Sinumerik 840D Solution Line' and 'Power Line' controllers and supports the readout of all process parameters and drive data. No intervention in the configuration of the machine tool is necessary.
'dataFeed edgeConnector 840D' enables the seamless integration of up to five CNC controls into a cloud environment such as Azure IoT Edge or AWS IoT Greengrass. This makes it possible, for example, to check production quality and tolerances, record machine data and integrate it into higher-level management systems or visualize process parameters and other performance indicators. Configuration can be carried out locally via an internet browser or remotely via the REST interface.
