XMC OnTakt Integration

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 XMCweb.

Step 1: XMCweb

1. 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.
2. Enter the desired port number in the OnTaktPort field of the associated asset's record in the Assets table of the XMCDataRouter database.
3. 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

1. In the machine editor, select "XMC" for the machine system and "Generic" for the model.
2. Enter the NC URL in the format: tcp://IP:PORT, where IP is the IP address of the XMC server and PORT is the port assigned to that machine in the XMC configuration window.
