MTConnect (DMG MORI)

From Knowledge Base

Requires OnTakt Server 4.9.4-4.12.14 or 4.12.22+ and Proxy 2.6.7-2.8.4 or 2.8.10+


DMG MORI controls with MTConnect enabled can be added to OnTakt by installing the DMG MORI MTConnect Coordinator on a Windows PC in the shop. When configuring a machine in OnTakt, enter the MTConnect URL using the IP address of the PC running the Coordinator and the port configured in the Coordinator.


Another option is to configure the machines in XMC (which connects to the MTConnect adapter running on the machines directly) and use the XMC OnTakt Integration to get their data into OnTakt.

Note: DMG MORI controls do not report alarms or variables via MTConnect, so this data will not be available in OnTakt.
