• TDI is a modular system from which you can combine the right DAT tape drive for data backup, server database Oracle or
modules for each degree of automation.
SQL server
• All TDI modules have been designed to run both on single
machines and on networks.
• As the system has been designed consistently as a client-server
solution and uses the latest communication mechanisms
based on HTTP/XML, it is possible to vary the distribution of the
modules in the network and to access them from any position.
This means up-to-date information can always be accessed
wherever it is needed.
• The UIs of the MCIS TDI modules are designed such that they
execute and can be operated on a SINUMERIK platform (function
keys), as well as on a PC platform (pull-down menu) and in
the TRANSLINE HMI PRO environment.
• The MCIS TDI modules can be optionally combined in various
stages. This provides operators with optimum solutions for their
requirements.
• In each stage, the Customizing function (online as well as
offline on PG/PC) provides a user-friendly means of making
basic settings and enabling functions.
• On the basis of the existing TDI modules, all units can be
networked by means of the TDI server functionality such that
an overview of all actual tool data can be provided on a master
control or on a control system, for example.
• Furthermore, the functionality can be extended by
TDI Interface Client (IFC) for interfacing with other systems
(e.g., PDA).
