2.2               Mcenter Platform - New Functions

Platform New Features
                      The following section describes the new Mcenter platform features in this version:

Mcenter
Product Information, 05/2024                                                                                        7
Product information/technical update
2.2 Mcenter Platform - New Functions

AlarmTrigger, AlarmUpload (Internal Feature)
                  This new feature allows machines to upload alarms to the server based on triggers defined by
                  applications, making them available to applications.
                  Applications using this feature in Mcenter version 5.4.0.0 are:
                  • AMD
                  • MMM
                  Supported Connectivity Types:
                  • Integrated
                  • Connected (depending on the capability of the Third-party controller)
                  Alarm triggers can be configured in many ways:
                  • as a consequence of the occurrence of a specific alarm
                  • due to changing a specific alarm to the "acknowledged" status
                  • one or more specific alarm numbers (exceptions may be given)
                  • based on one or more scales (exceptions may be granted)
                  • exceptions can be specified both individually and for a range
                  Regardless of the triggered triggers set, for both the new and the "acknowledged" alarms, the
                  entire alarm list is uploaded.
                  The triggers do not filter the alarm list on the platform side. In case of such a need, this must
                  be done by the application.

Re-onboarding Client Machines
                  This new feature allows a client in use to be reusable as smoothly as possible after downtime due
                  to maintenance or replacement of a defective part.
                  • Only applicable for the SINUMERIK Integrate connectivity type.
                  • You can change the IP address or MAC address. This can occur as a result of hardware
                    maintenance.
                  • After re-onboarding, the assigned applications are automatically installed/updated on the
                    client machine.
                  • The applications do not yet natively support the re-onboard procedure, keep this in mind
                    when using this function.

Plant Hierarchy: Mapping User to Plant Hierarchy
                  This new feature allows Administrators and Key Users to assign, modify or unassign Mcenter
                  users to specific Plant nodes in a Plant node hierarchy.
                  • The configured plant node-user assignment is inherited to nodes currently further down in
                    the hierarchy. Subordinate nodes added later do not automatically grant the user privileges.
                  • The introduction of this new feature does not restrict user privileges, by default-users are
                    assigned to the root-node.

                                                                                                               Mcenter
8                                                                                         Product Information, 05/2024
                                                                                Product information/technical update
                                                                            2.3 Mcenter Platform- Modified Functions

                      • A bulk permission setting is possible.
                      • Any Mcenter application can now use this new feature in in-app permissions management.
                        The application using this feature in Mcenter version 5.4.0.0 is AMP.

Using Windows 10 & 11 Professional and MS SQL Server Express for pilotings and PoCs
                      For Pilot and Proof of Concept purposes, it is possible to install Mcenter on Microsoft Windows
                      10 & 11 Professional. For the same reason, we are making the version of Microsoft SQL Server
                      2022 Express usable in terms of the database application used.
                      • Connect up to 5 clients
                      • Not applicable in production environments
                      • When using Microsoft Windows 10 or 11 Professional for piloting or PoC reasons (small-scale
                        demonstration or trial to validate the feasibility and functionality), use Microsoft SQL Server
                        2022 Express. Other “low infrastructure cost” OS/database engine combinations are not
                        supported.

License server SALT is now supported
                      License Server SALT (Siemens Automation License Tool) is a software component developed by
                      Siemens that acts as a central server for managing and distributing licenses for various Siemens
                      automation products and software applications. It enables license activation, deactivation and
                      monitoring in industrial environments.
                      • The license server is now configurable to use SALT.

Orders and Sequences
                      • Overview of orders and sequences
                        The new overview page provides means to see existing orders and sequences in the system
                        on the WEB-UI. You can also create, update and delete the work sequences.
                      • Resource preparation status of orders and sequences
                        The new overview page also provides status information regarding the required resources
                        such as programs and tools for a work order and sequence.

Platform Feature Expansion

                  New User Roles: Purchaser, Material Manager, Tool corrector
                  Three new items have been added to the list of user roles under "Manage users":
                  • Purchaser, material manager, tool corrector: These new roles can be de/assigned to users via
                    UI.
                  • These new roles are available for internal & external User Management.
                  • Any Mcenter application can now use these new roles in in-app permissions management.

2.4.1.1            MMR /Tools on the server and SINUMERIK Operate - New Functions
                      The following section describes the new functions for Manage MyResources /Tools, version
                      2.2.0.0.

New Features MMR /Tools on the Server

                      Flexible tables
                      The mandatory number of columns for tables has been reduced to one or two, depending on
                      the table. In addition, there is no longer a maximum limit on the number of columns you can
                      select. When the columns exceed the screen width, a horizontal scroll is activated.

                      Double Holder Support
                      Tool master data has been expanded to include an additional parameter named "Mounting
                      bidirectional, machine side". In case the tool is attached to a double holder, this must be
                      set to YES. The direction of the holder is defined in tool instances generated by this master
                      data. The "Holder direction" parameter is by default set to Original as if it is a regular
                      static tool without rotation capability. However, it can be changed to 'Reversed,' indicating
                      a 180-degree rotation against the Z-axis. The tool must be measured when the holder is
                      in the original state. The geometry transformation for reversal is calculated by the MMRT
                      application on HMI before loading.

                      Filters for additional parameters on Tool stock
                      Tool stock filtering has been enhanced. Starting from the current version, all tool parameters
                      are available for filtering in the standard filter. In addition, to manage the extensive list of
                      attributes, a new quick filtering feature has been implemented. Beginning to type when you
                      open the drop-down list of attributes displays only the matching attributes.

New Features MMR /Tools at SINUMERIK Operate

                      Tool Status Bits Display
                      In the "Tool details" window of "Internal view", there is a new section as Status. This section
                      displays the first eight status bits of the tool state, which can also be edited directly within
                      this section.Double Holder Support

                      Double Holder Support
                      If the tool to be loaded has the parameter "Mounting bidirectional, machine side" as YES,
                      the "Holder direction" parameter is displayed on the loading dialog. It appears with the
                      value set for the tool instance on the server side. However, it can be changed if desired.
                      Transformation 3 is applied in case the "Holder direction" value is "Reversed" before loading
                      the tool.

                  The following section describes the modified functions for Manage MyResources /Tools, version
                  2.2.0.0

Modified Features MMR /Tools on the server

                  Orders and sequences feedback page based on tool scheduling results
                  With the extended tool scheduling functionality, MMRT can now send additional feedback
                  to work the Orders and sequences overview page, based on the status of the scheduling
                  results. MMRT keeps track of the required tools based on their availability on the target
                  machine(loaded or unloaded).For example, if the required tool instances are loaded to the
                  relevant machine , the "loaded" state is sent so thatyou know the works sequence is ready to
                  be executed from tool perspective.

                  Storage location extension
                  Storage locations are extended with physical dimensions of cabinets and containers.
                  Containers now have their own detail view where the resource boxes are handled as well.

                  Change in Tool component wear
                  The formal wear yes/no was changed to a more detailed wear type. There are three different
                  types, consumable, durable and resharpable. Following the wear, the type tool component
                  stacks now can store components in 4 different states. In addition to the already existing
                  "new" and "old" states, "resharpened" and "to be resharpened states" are also available. Also
                  handling components during tool assembly and disassemly is supported these new states.

Improvement and Quality
                  • Enhancement regarding the Quick filtering functionality of the tables.
