uaGATE 840D

OPC UA Server Gateway for Siemens SINUMERIK 840D Controllers

The gateway allows reading the complete SINUMERIK 840D machine tool data. It provides access to the NC part with its axis, tool, program and drive data as well as specific alarms. In addition, a connection to the integrated SIMATIC Siemens S7 can be established. The data from both connections are available via the OPC UA and MQTT interfaces and thus can be used for various Industrie 4.0 applications.

With uaGate 840D, important spindle and axis data, such as torque and power consumption, can be read and reused in various applications. In addition, the active program as well as sub programs and the currently used tool is accessible. For instance, these data are available for condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, for data logging or for analysis tasks, such as spindle and axis monitoring. The gateway can also be used to acquire data from older SINUMERIK 840D controllers. Due to the preconfigured data symbol file for the standard use case based on one channel, three axes and one spindle, the user does not require any specific SINUMERIK know-how for reading the data.

The product can simply get mounted next to the SINUMERIK NCU on a DIN rail and requires 24 VDC power supply. It has two independent Ethernet interfaces, one addressing the machine and the other addressing the IT network. Between these, the gateway acts as a firewall. The configuration is performed in just a few clicks using any web browser and the integrated web server.

Overview

  • Access to many different Siemens SINUMERIK 840D Solution Line and Power Line controllers
  • Data integration into higher level management tools like ERP, MES or SCADA systems
  • Embedded OPC UA Server providing open, platform-independent communication
  • Access to NC area containing axis, tool, program, drive data and specific alarms
  • Use of data for analysis, condition monitoring, predictive maintenance or data logging purposes
  • No additional Siemens licenses necessary
  • Initial configuration without requiring PLC or NC programming

Easy Configuration

  • Usage of predefined symbol files for standard configurations for easy comissioning
  • Upload of AWL file created from user-defined NCVar Selector symbol files for NCK connection
  • Easy symbol import from SIMATIC STEP 7/TIA Portal projects for S7 PLC connection
  • Gateway configuration using integrated web server and standard web browser

Industry-proven Security

  • Physically separated Ethernet interfaces protecting SINUMERIK from unauthorized access via IT network
  • Support of security standards like SSL/TLS, X.509 certificates and user authentication for OPC UA and MQTT communication

Wiki

Which cloud platforms are supported?

We support with all Softing gateways (echocollect, uaGate, edgeGate) the Microsoft Azure Cloud, Amazon AWS Cloud, IBM Bluemix Cloud and other cloud providers, which are using MQTT for telemetry data.

What is the size of the Store & Forward queue on the echocollect?

The S&F queue for MQTT is unlimited (except the size of the sd-card). The echo buffers in the ram, and after it collects a bunch of messages, they were copied to the sd-card. To use the S&F feature, QoS 1 or QoS 2 must be used.

dataFEED uaGATE SI : Compact Gateway for Siemens Controllers Providing OPC UA and MQTT Interface

dataFEED uaGate SI is a gateway to Siemens PLCs. It integrates OPC UA functionality for easy and secure data connectivity with higher-level management systems, such as ERP, MES or SCADA, into new or existing plants. Using the MQTT Publisher functionality allows integrating controller data into IoT cloud applications. As a result, dataFEED uaGate SI covers a compact size, an forward-looking approach as well as an industry-proven hardware.

Overview

Easy Controller Connectivity

  • Connectivity between controllers and IT (ERP, MES, SCADA) systems as well as between controllers using the open, platform-independent and market-proven OPC UA standard
  • OPC UA technology supporting easy local and global networking as well as routing through firewalls
  • MQTT Publisher functionality for transferring production data into IoT cloud solutions
  • Gateway configuration based on web interface allowing easy symbol import directly from SIMATIC STEP 7 and TIA Portal projects

Ultimate Security

  • Physically separated network interfaces preventing intrusions
  • Individually protected access to PLC data
  • Separate configuration rights on controller and IT levels, especially beneficial to OEMs and machine builders wanting to keep proprietary controller configuration undisclosed
  • Data encryption and user authentication meeting highest security requirements

Investment Protection

  • Adding modern communication capabilities to existing plants
  • Standard component that can be integrated into both small and large automation projects
  • Suitable for new applications and retrofits

Zero Maintenance

  • All-hardware gateway – no need for software updates, operating system patches or PC maintenance
  • No PLC programming or dedicated PC required
  • Failure-free operation for years after device has been plugged-in and configured once
