OnTakt can fetch machine data from machines configured in XMC as if it were communicating with the machine directly.
Configuration
The XMC/OnTakt connector requires an XMCweb 2.0 installation.
Step 1: XMCweb
- To enable a machine (or XMCweb asset) for OnTakt integration, assign it a unique TCP port setting using SQL Server Management Studio or any other SQL Server database editor.
- Enter the desired port number in the
OnTaktPort
field of the associated asset's record in theAssets
table of theXMCDataRouter
database. - After changing port settings in the
Assets
table, restart the XMCweb Miscellaneous (Xyz) service via the Services applet or the Services tab in Task Manager.
Note: The port setting must be between 1 and 65535 and must be unique from any other TCP port setting on the XMCweb server. No ports numbers have been registered for exclusive use by the XMC/OnTakt connector; we suggest using public port numbers between 49152 and 65535.
Step 2: OnTakt
- In the machine editor, select "XMC" for the machine system and "Generic" for the model.
- Enter the NC URL in the format:
tcp://IP:PORT
, whereIP
is the IP address of the XMC server andPORT
is the port assigned to that machine in the XMC configuration window.
