Machine communication protocols decide what data you can read from a machine. Every CNC control and every protocol (OPC UA, MTConnect, Modbus TCP) provides different data and needs different settings. Here you will find what Scout MES reads from controls and protocols; step-by-step connection guides are in Help.
