The SINUMERIK-Xplorer interface is suitable for the acquisition of measurement data from the NCK (numerical control kernel) part of Siemens SINUMERIK CNC controllers via Ethernet using the standard network interface cards as well as PROFIBUS via SIMATIC NET interface cards. Access thereby is transparent for the SINUMERIK controller. Separate engineering and programming is not necessary.
The signals to be measured can be selected by using the SINUMERIK symbol browser in the ibaPDA I/O Manager.
