We have a few relatively new HAAS machines mainly vf-4s, vf-4ss and gr-712. Our Execs are have asked if there is a way for us to collect the following data -


  • Power up date and time
  • Run Time Start date and time
  • Program # being run
  • Run Time Stop Date and time


Now I know that this is shown on the screen brought up by the curnt commands key, but I was hoping for a way of creating a report\log of this information. All of our machines our networked via ethernet and I have been trying to find a way to do it remotely leveraging that connection, with no luck. I looked through the manual and I saw that you can query the machine for this information via rs-232, so I was hoping for a way to do it via ethernet.

Does anyone know of a way I could do this? If not what are you guys doing to log jobs run on your machines?
