Kimla machine monitoring in Scout MES uses Kimla UDP: Scout receives the data from lasers and CNC plotters with a Kimla control over your factory LAN.
What data Scout reads from Kimla UDP
- run status (start or stop)
- program name
- alarms
How the connection works
Scout reads the data over your factory LAN, directly from the control, with no electrical modifications. The machine does not need internet access: SCT (Scout Configuration Tool) runs as Windows services on a computer in your network and sends the data to the Scout server over HTTPS, so you do not need to open any inbound ports. We install and configure SCT remotely. You prepare a Windows computer in the LAN and send us the list of machines (control type and IP address). Scout only reads data. It does not control machine motion.
Frequently asked questions
Lasers and CNC plotters with a Kimla control.
Run status (start or stop), program name and alarms, received over the LAN (Kimla UDP).
We do, remotely. You prepare a Windows computer in your LAN and send us the list of machines; we install and configure SCT and connect the machines. To add a machine later, you write to us and we change the configuration remotely.
No. The data goes over your LAN to SCT, which sends it to the Scout server over HTTPS.
