Hi , I want to collect data(informations) from my CNC milling machine about : status of machine, how many hours was running(cutting), status of signals, load on servomotors, etc.
I want to connect the CNC with a PC and collect this type of informations.
My controller is Fanuc oi-MF.
Any help will be appreciated.
hy rukam :) i can only help for okuma machines
as for fanuc, i recomand to contact this guys : amit20 aadinug ablackwell; i don't know to what extend they can help you, but i saw them debating such things; there may be also others :)
methods to gather data :
... fanuc dedicated or compatible
... generalisitic aproach that simply steals signal from any machine
... operating system based
methods to process data :
... open loop : just record
... closed loop : record & react, like, for example, stop a drilling process if load is too high
about this set : "status of machine, how many hours was running(cutting), status of signals, load on servomotors" :
... if you know the load, you know the status and how many hours the machine has worked, and other things :) this is good to diferentiate between what data you need to record, and what can be done with recoreded data
... status of signal : if i may, what signals do you wish for, and why ? kindly :)
Fanuc already have the software Fanuc MT-Linki for what you want to do
Good luck.
