Safan press brake monitoring in Scout MES reads data via Safan E-Control over your factory LAN. The 2:42 E-Control Gateway option must be enabled on the machine.
What data Scout reads from Safan press brakes
- press mode and status
- project name
- part and stroke counters
- validation messages
- material and drawing data
Alternative: our BIOS-IO-01 module
Press brakes can also be connected through our BIOS-IO-01 module, like conventional machines. Scout then determines whether the machine is running from the press pedal presses.
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.
