Yaskawa robot monitoring in Scout MES shows the work of Yaskawa robots next to your machines. Scout reads the data from the robot controller over your factory LAN.
What data Scout reads from Yaskawa robots
- robot mode
- whether the robot is running
- job name
- line and step
- speed override
- selected inputs
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
Robot mode, whether it is running, job name, line and step, speed override and selected inputs.
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. Scout only reads data. It does not control the robot.
