SINUMERIK Integrate Access MyMachine /Ethernet enables worldwide, secure remote operation and monitoring of a machine tool automated with SINUMERIK.

Remote access is always established via a secure connection based on TLS (previously SSL) via the Internet (worldwide).

The technical implementation of access to the Internet depends on the local conditions at the machine. Access to the Internet can be implemented in different ways. The main requirement is a data transmission rate of at least 64 KB/s. Ideally, DSL is used for this purpose. Depending on the available data transmission rate, some functions (e.g. file transfer) may not be executed very quickly or are only available with restrictions.

Delivery stages

SINUMERIK Integrate Access MyMachine /Ethernet is delivered in three different stages:

• Stage 1: Single Access
• Stage 2: Conferencing
• Stage 3: Remote STEP 7

Stage 2 includes Stage 1 and Stage 3 includes Stage 1 and Stage 2.

SINUMERIK Integrate Access MyMachine /Ethernet – Single Access

The following services are provided within SINUMERIK Integrate Access MyMachine /Ethernet – Single Access:

Remote Desktop

This function allows remote operation and monitoring of the user interface of the control system. The user interface is not only accessible to the operator at the machine, but also to service personnel in cases where they are providing support from a remote location, for example.

File transfer

The File transfer function allows files to be copied into the file system of the CNC. In addition, files can be transferred from the CNC's file system to the remote desktop.

Session Recording

Session Recording is used to record a remote maintenance procedure for subsequent reproduction.

SINUMERIK Integrate Access MyMachine /Ethernet – Conferencing

With stage 2, Conferencing, further participants can be admitted to a remote maintenance session. In addition to a valid Conferencing license on the machine, the only other prerequisite is that the third participant has access to the Internet.

SINUMERIK Integrate Access MyMachine /Ethernet – Remote STEP 7

Stage 3, Remote STEP 7, provides support for the diagnosis and solution of PLC-related problems. The service technician requires a STEP 7 installation, and by means of SINUMERIK Integrate Access MyMachine /Ethernet – Remote STEP 7 he can access the machine's PLC directly. A local installation of STEP 7 on the machine is not necessary.
