Sinumerik

Connectware device driver for Siemens Sinumerik 840Dsl and 828D CNC systems. The driver acts as client for the Sinumerik “Access MyMachine / OPC UA” machine interface.

To be able to access the Sinumerik OPC UA interface the machine requires Sinumerik Operate, a Sinumerik OPC UA license and a compatible OPC UA server version. For information on the machine prerequisites, compatibility & setup please see the SINUMERIK Access MyMachine / OPC UA Configuration Manual

Some Sinumerik vocabulary

  • Tool number (toolNo): Sinumerik internal tool number which uniquely identifies each tool

  • Tool identifier (toolIdent): Tool name. In the tool management each tool is explicitly defined both by its identifier and its duplo number. This means that a tool area can only contain equal tool identifiers with different duplo numbers.

  • Duplo number (duploNo): Number of replacement (“sister”) tool

  • Cutting edges (numCuttEdges): Number of cutting edges of a tool. This is not the number of blades but the number of different cut radius along the tool. Most tools have one cutting edge (eg regular drill). Also called D-Number.

Commissioning File Specifics

The following describes the available device specifics for a Sinumerik device. The Cybus Sinumerik OPC UA Reference file can be found in section Reference Device File

Connection Settings

The device connection is configured with a resource of type Cybus::Connection. Please note that the Sinumerik driver uses the Connectware OPC UA driver implementation and therefore the same settings apply here.

sinumerikConnection:
 type: Cybus::Connection
  properties:
    protocol: Sinumerik
    connection:
      host: '127.0.0.1'
      port: 854
      username: admin
      password: admin

protocol

Required. Must be Sinumerik.

connectionhost

Required.

For a detailed overview on all available OPC UA connection settings see the Connectware OPC UA Client driver documentation.

Connection Properties

Endpoint settings

Each connection can have several endpoints. They define the operations that are supported.

You define an endpoint by adding a resource of type Cybus::Endpoint

They have two key properties:

  • An operation

  • and a Sinumerik driver method

A Sinumerik endpoint support the following modes of operation:

  • Read

  • Write

  • Polling subscription (subscribe operation with type poll)

  • Notify subscription (subscribe operation with type notify)

Polling subscription

The subscribe pattern offers the possibility to subscribe to a Sinumerik driver method and poll the specified method in a given interval.

Example mapping:

machineInfoSubscription:
    type: Cybus::Endpoint
    properties:
        protocol: Sinumerik
        connection: !ref sinumerikConnection
        topic: getMachineInfo
        subscribe:
            type: poll
            method: getMachineInfo # Sinumerik driver method
            pollInterval: 5000

propertiesprotocol

Required. Must be Sinumerik

connection

Required. Must be a reference to a Sinumerik connection

topic

Optional. Your MQTT topic to write the data to.

operation

Required. Must to be subscribe

type

Required. Must be poll.

method

Required. Describes the Sinumerik driver method.

params

Optional. Array of method parameter.

pollInterval

Optional. Polling interval in milliseconds. Default 1000ms.

Read

The read operation offers the possibility to request a machine action and receive a response. The operation follows the JSON-RPC 2.0 Specification. To make it work you only need to specify a read operation on the desired method and send a message on a request-topic (req):

Example message:

{ 'id': 123, 'params': ['param a', 'param b', 'param c'] }

Example mapping:

getMachineInfo:
    type: Cybus::Endpoint
    properties:
        protocol: Sinumerik
        connection: !ref sinumerikConnection
        read:
            method: getMachineInfo

endpoint propertiesprotocol

Required. Must be Sinumerik

connection

Required. Must be a Sinumerik connection.

operation

Required. Must to be read.

method

Required. Describes the Sinumerik method.

This configuration will subscribe to getMachineInfo/req and publish responses to getMachineInfo/res.

MQTT payload

The MQTT request payload requires two keys:

  • id: User-defined correlation ID which can be used to identify the response

  • params: Array of parameters required for the used driver method

Following the example mapping above (method: getMachineInfo), the request payload, send on topic getMachineInfo/req, needs to be as following:

{ 'params': [], 'id': '<any-correlation-id>' }

This invokes the Sinumerik driver method getMachineInfo and returns the following response on topic getMachineInfo/res:

On success: { 'result': { <machine-infos> }, 'id': '<request-correlation-id>' }
On error: { 'error': '<error>', 'id': '<request-correlation-id>' }

See the Examples section for further information.

Write

Endpoints configured with the write operation works exactly as endpoints configured with the read operation, allowing you to execute Sinumerik methods by sending a message to a set-topic (set).

Currently, these endpoints don’t support the return of any result.

Please refer to the Read section for more information.

Notify subscription

Certain Sinumerik driver methods offer events realized through the subscribe operation with type notify. Notifications are fired when a certain event is triggered.

This feature is highly unstable and can crash the OPC UA server.

Example mapping:

sinumerikOnNcProgramChangedSubscription:
    type: Cybus::Endpoint
    properties:
        protocol: Sinumerik
        connection: !ref sinumerikConnection
        subscribe:
            type: notify
            method: onNcProgramChanged

mapping:
    type: Cybus::Mapping
    properties:
        mappings:
            - subscribe:
                  endpoint: !ref sinumerikOnNcProgramChanged
              publish:
                  topic: 'notify/onNcProgramChanged'

Sinumerik Methods

This section describes the available Sinumerik driver methods. Each method is a specific RPC call which requires certain parameters and provides a defined return. The method paramter must be provides in the request payload in the params section. See the Examples section for further information.

Important

Each driver method requires certain access rights on the Sinumerik. The driver automatically sets the required OPC UA access rights for the currently connected OPC UA user. Please make sure the user is allowed to change its access rights. See also method getMyAccessRights.

Sinumerik NC variables are described here as:

  • <variable-name> (<type>, <sinumerik-machine-data-reference>): <description>

Set Tool

Example showing how to create a new tool and to set its configuration. In the example we do not require to set a specific tool number but rather let the driver choose the next available tool number automatically.

  • Method: setTool

  • Operation: req/res

Request on MQTT topic “sinumerik-opcua/<machine-ip>/setTool/req”

{
  "id": 2
  "params": [
    "",           // No specific tool number required
    "",           // We do not want to load the tool into magazine number
    "",           // We do not want to load the tool into magazine place
    {
      "toolIdent": "MY_NEW_TOOL",
      "toolType": "900",
      "length1": "125.5",
      "radius": "3.24,
      "spindleDirection": "left",
      "coolant1": "on",
      "toolOverSize": "true",
      "toolUser_2": "2.3"
    }
  ]
}

Example response on MQTT topic “sinumerik-opcua/<machine-ip>/setTool/res”

{
  "id": 2,
  "timestamp": 1589978193302,
  "result": "2"               // Driver created tool number 2
}

Here the driver successfully created a new tool using the next available tool number 2.
