Hi I am about to do some discovery work on connecting a line of SMT pick and place machines to ignition as part of an MES
Does anyone have any advice on connectors for pulling machine information from these machines?
Looking on the Manufacturer website they offer their own system for connecting to ERP systems .
Just interested to see if anyone had had experience here . I’m thinking connect and extract to MQTT then consume in ignition.
Open to ideas.

Did you find any information on this? We are wondering the same thing. MY300 docs say it supports the TPSys protocol and Hermes protocol. TPSys has a ShowCurrentStatus function. I am guessing that one would have to write some type of custom python thing to connect Ignition to the the machine via TYSys protocol.
