TOP Server KraussMaffei MC4 Ethernet OPC Driver
Reliable Connectivity for KraussMaffei Injection Molding Machines
The TOP Server® KraussMaffei MC4 Ethernet driver provides a communication interface to KraussMaffei MC4 controllers with the same level of performance, stability and ease of configuration as any other TOP Server driver.
This driver provides data exchange between OPC UA, OPC DA, SuiteLink and DDE clients and KraussMaffei MC4 Injection Molding Machines supporting the TCP/IP transport protocol over TCP and UDP connections.
Access to data in the MC4 controller is accomplished by the use of named parameter objects composed of the parameter object name, element name, and value name. Data acquisition is optimized based on upstream client demand while data integrity is ensured using extensive error handling.
Note: MC4-Injection Molding Machines only support one connection at a time from a host or client device so please consider this if you have other applications collecting data. Consider using TOP Server as your central data collection source since it can interface with so many other software systems including databases.
