OSAI CNC monitoring in Scout MES reads data directly from the OSAI control over your factory LAN, through the CNDEX communication library. From OPENcontrol 3.2, Scout can also read the data via SOAP/XML.
What data Scout reads from OSAI controls
- status
- mode
- program name
- feed rate
- feed and spindle override
- spindle speed
- tool
- last error number
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
Status, mode, program name, feed rate, feed and spindle override, spindle speed, tool and the last error number.
Through the CNDEX communication library. From OPENcontrol 3.2, also via SOAP/XML.
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. SCT in your LAN sends the data to the Scout server over HTTPS.
