HMI software for CNC controls

■ Overview
The MDA IFC Interface Client is used to interconnect the
SINUMERIK control or an OPC-compatible control (e.g.
SIMATIC S7) with MDA Cell (or with MDA Plant, the expanded
project solution).
This interface ensures reliable transmission and buffer storage in
the event of network disruptions.
■ Function
• Automatic acquisition of machine data from the open interface
in the DB13/14 standard data blocks of the PLC. Alternatively,
5 fixed states can be acquired via the plug-and-play interface.
- Machine status, processing results via DB
- Total piece counts DB
- Types of pieces, piece type-specific piece counts via DB
- Cycle times via DB
- Alarms and messages (only with SINUMERIK)
• Manual status entry, fault explanation by the operator
• Automatic buffer storage of the acquired data on the hard drive
of SINUMERIK. In the event of a network failure, these data are
then automatically tracked by MDA Cell/MDA Plant.
One MDA IFC license is required for each connected
SINUMERIK or OPC control.

■ Integration
Preconditions:
• SINUMERIK 810D powerline/840Di/840D powerline with
PCU 50/PCU 70
If several equipment units are to be operated and analyzed on
one machine, several MDA IFC licenses must be obtained (can
also be combined with MDA Machine). For each operator panel,
up to 8 equipment units can be evaluated: 1 MDA Machine license
and up to 7 additional MDA IFC licenses.

The system can be expanded with MDA Cell. For each operator
panel, up to 8 equipment units (MDA IFC licenses) can be acquired.
For each MDA Cell, a total of 16 machines/equipment
units can be evaluated.
