Machine Tools - Monitoring and Job Overview

The MachineToolType represents the entire machine tool interface of the information model. It is the entry point to the OPC UA interface of a machine tool. It gives a basic structure to the interface. An instance of this type aggregates all information related to one machine tool.

All instances of MachineToolType have to be referenced from the 3:Machines node defined in OPC 40001-1. At least one MachineToolType instance shall be present to qualify for any profile of OPC UA for Machine Tools.

The MachineToolType is formally defined in Table 9.

Equipment (see 8.5), Identification (see 8.2), Monitoring (see 8.3), Notification (see 8.6) and Production (see 8.4) are instances of the respective types. They are used to structure the information in the MachineToolType topically. Components and MachineryBuildingBlocks are used as described in OPC 40001-1. To differentiate between Components and Equipment, Components should contain elements that are an inseparable part of the machine and Equipment should contain removable elements (e.g. tools).

MachineTool Identification SoftwareInformation

In most cases, machine tools consist of several software components. SoftwareComponent can be an individual application, or plugin of an application involved in controlling the machine tool.

SoftwareRevision provides a string representation of the version or revision level of the software component, the software/firmware of a hardware component. Examples are: “PLL01 1.10.0.3”, “V05.01.01.15”, “3.1 R1293”, “70.0.1”.

The Identifier Property provides an identifier to distinguish the software component.

Manufacturer refers to the manufacturer/producer of the software.

8.3 Monitoring

8.3.1 MonitoringType

The MonitoringType is used to structure information given in the MachineToolType. It contains the monitoring information of the machine tool and its subsystems.

<MonitoredElement > is an optional Placeholder for ElementMonitoringType instances. This allows for any number of such instances as a component of the MonitoringType. For the DisplayName, it is recommended to use the value of the Name Property of the respective ElementMonitoringType instance.

MachineTool provides overall monitoring information of the machine tool.

Stacklight contains the information about a stacklight’s composition and status. It is an object of BasicStacklightType, defined in OPC 10000-200. If the machine tool has a stacklight available, the Stacklight shall be present.

The optional 4:StackLevelType and 4:StackRunningType of the 4:BasicStacklightType shall not be used, only a segmented light shall be shown. Thus, the 4:StacklightMode of each stacklight has to be “Segmented” (0).

As 4:<StackElement>, only elements of 4:StackElementLightType shall be used. For these, the 4:SignalOn, 4:SignalColor and 4:SignalMode shall be used, not the 4:ControlChannelType (see Table 16).

ChannelState is representing the current status of the NC channel and is defined in 12.1.

ChannelMode is representing the current mode the NC channel operates in. It is defined in 12.2.

FeedOverride is representing the current value of the feed override of the NC channel.

RapidOverride is representing the current value of the rapid override of the NC channel.

ChannelModifiers is representing additional program modifiers usually used during special operations of the machine tool, e.g. preparation of production (see 8.3.10).

8.3.8 CombinedChannelMonitoringType

The CombinedChannelMonitoringType is a subtype of the ChannelMonitoringType and inherits all its InstanceDeclarations. Using this type instead of a ChannelMonitoringType provides an aggregated representation of the channels in a machine tool. The rules for aggregation are given in Table 23. Sometimes it is not necessary to provide one representation per individual channel, e.g. if one channel is of primary interest, the status of the remaining channels is irrelevant for the machine tool status. It could be used together with the separate channels. Typical applications are multi-spindle machines in which a large number of channels are used for interlinked work steps.

Table 23 – Rules for Aggregation of the CombinedChannelMonitoringType

Component of the CombinedChannelMonitoringType	Rule for Aggregation
ChannelState	Mode of the channel not in “active”, otherwise “active” - if all channels active --> active - if >0 channel reset --> reset - else interrupted
ChannelMode	Mode of the channel not in “automatic”, otherwise “automatic” If one or more channel of the combined channels is not in “automatic” the machine tool is not producing (except if the channel is not currently in use). If for example the operator is in JogManual and moving one axis, the whole machine tool is not producing in automatic and the combined channel can be viewed as in JogManual
FeedOverride	selection from HMI mirrored On most multi spindle machines there is one HMI which controls the whole machine tool, so most of the input is applied to all combined channels
RapidOverride	selection from HMI mirrored On most multi spindle machines there is one HMI which controls the whole machine tool, so most of the input is applied to all combined channels
ChannelModifiers	If an element of ChannelModifiers is True in any channel, it has to be True in the combined channel.

The CombinedChannelMonitoringType is formally defined in Table 24.

FeedOverride is the combined actual feed override value that is effective for the manufacturing program of the machine tool.

IsWarmUp being True indicates if the machine tool is performing a warmup task. A warmup is not used for production, it is the mode used to reach a stable operating point for the machine tool. An example is reaching the optimal operating temperature. This might be indicated by a hardware switch on the machine tool, a special control command, a special production program (referenced by program name) or otherwise. In combination with the MachineryItemState and the MachineryOperationMode, the following behaviour is expected: If IsWarmUp is True, the MachineryItemState is in State Executing and the MachineryOperationMode is in State Setup.

MachineryItemState is used as defined in OPC 40001-1. Shall also be referenced as AddIn in the MachineryBuildingBlocks Folder.

MachineryOperationMode is used as defined in OPC 40001-1. Shall also be referenced as AddIn in the MachineryBuildingBlocks Folder.

MaintenanceMode, as a SubStateMachine of the MachineryOperationMode (see Table 26), is only valid if the CurrentState of MachineryOperationMode is Maintenance.

Obligation indicates the instance responsible for the current activities of the machine.

OperationMode contains a MachineOperationMode value as defined in 12.5. The values of the MachineOperationMode enum are derived from the MO modes of machinery functional safety standards. For a machine adhering to such a standard, the OperationMode shall show the respective mode. For a machine not adhering to such a standard, the OperationMode shall be filled with the appropriate mode available from the MachineOperationMode Enum. The OperationMode is only a representation of the machine mode, it shall not be used in a safety relevant manner.

PowerOnDuration is the duration the machine has been powered, meaning all systems have line voltage. It is counted in full hours. This value only increases during the lifetime of the machine and is not reset when the machine is power cycled.

8.3.10 MachineOperationModeStateMachineType

For this specification, the MachineryOperationStateMachineType defined in OPC 40001-1 is extended by a SubState for Maintenance. An overview is shown in Figure 14.

The MaintenanceModeStateMachineType does not define an initial State.

The Service State indicates that measures to maintain or increase availability and duration of life are implemented. For example, linear guides are replaced, the bearings are lubricated, or the working area is cleaned.

The Inspection State indicates that the status is evaluated. For example, the lubrication is checked, the expendable parts are examined for wear and tear or the functionality of a workpiece holder is checked.

The Repair State indicates that the functionality of the unit is restored. For example, errors are fixed, or components are replaced.

The Upgrade State indicates that the performance, functionality, etc. of the unit are improved. For example, software upgrades, retrofitting of more powerful modules or modules with a longer duration of life.

The Other State is used if none of the other states apply.

BlockSkip being True indicates that specially marked NC program blocks are skipped.

DryRun being True indicates that a test run using with a dedicated axis feed is being performed.

OptionalStop being True indicates that the execution will stop at special machine commands.

TestMode being True indicates a test mode which enables execution of a program without physical axis movement. The machining process may be simulated during program execution.

SingleStep being True indicates if the NC channel operates in single block/single step mode.

8.3.13 ObligationType

The ObligationType is used to indicate the entity responsible for the current activities of the machine. This value is needed for certain KPI standards.

The ObligationType is formally defined in Table 32.

EndUserObligated being True indicates that the machine‘s activity is the responsibility of the end user/operator.

MachineBuilderObligated being True indicates that the machine’s activity is the responsibility of the machine builder.

Typically, only one of EndUserObligated or MachineBuilderObligated is True, indicating the respective entity as responsible. Both being False indicates the obligation being unclear (e.g. unknown, third entity responsible). Both variables being True should not be used. It is foreseen that further obligation entities may be added in later versions; this way of representation allows for extension.

8.4 Production

8.4.1 ProductionType

The ProductionType is used to structure information given in the MachineToolType. It groups the information about the production plan and the production statistics.

The ProductionType is formally defined in Table 33.

ProductionPlan is a list of all job elements currently running and planned for execution.

If there is no job on the machine, there may be no ProductionJob object in the list.

In case the ProductionPlan is used as a dynamic list (i.e. ProductionJobType nodes are being added and deleted), the precondition for deleting any node is that all values of variables represent the final state of the job and are sent to all clients in active subscriptions.

ActiveProgram contains the program that is currently running on the machine. If the machine control discriminates between main and subprograms, this program shall be the main program. It is used in parallel to the ProductionPlan, so it allows for an access of the running program without browsing the jobs in the ProductionPlan.

Statistics is the object that contains statistics information related to production.

8.4.2 ProductionJobListType

The ProductionJobListType is a type used for structuring objects of ProductionJobType in an ordered list structure.

The ProductionJobListType is formally defined in Table 34.

0:<OrderedObject > is a placeholder for any number of ProductionJobType instances. To indicate the order of jobs on the machine, the NumberInList parameter of the ProductionJobType is used. This index shall be 0 for the first list element and increase by one for each subsequent list element. If jobs are deleted from the list or inserted into the list, the NumberInList has to be adjusted for all following ProductionJobType instances in the list, such that the NumberInList elements always form a sequential series of numbers. For the DisplayName of the <OrderedObject >, it is recommended to use the value of the Identifier Property of the respective ProductionJobType instance.

The NodeVersion and the GeneralModelChangeEventType inherited from the OrderedListType are intended to be used in the way defined in OPC 10000-3 and 7.3.

8.4.3 ProductionJobType

The ProductionJobType provides aggregated production data for running a sequence to produce several parts after one preparation mounting.

Examples for such a mounting are putting four raw parts on a pallet for a machining centre, setting up the fitting diameter bars in a turning centre bar feeder or loading a metal sheet from which hundreds of parts can be cut or punched. This sequence shall represent several parts which will usually (but not always) be several identical products. A job may be executed several times.

The ProductionJobType is formally defined in Table 35.

The Identifier is the identifier of the job. This Identifier is used to reference the job in other places of the AddressSpace, e.g. in the ProductionPartTransitionEventType. For this reason, the Identifier shall be unique.

The CustomerOrderIdentifier is used to reference the customer order this job belongs to. This information often originates from an external system handling production organisation (e.g. MES).

The OrderIdentifier is used to reference a company internal order the job belongs to. This information often originates from an external system handling production organisation (e.g. MES).

PartsCompleted indicates how many parts have been completed in the current job including all runs. This counter does not give any indication about the part quality. If PartSets are used, this counter shall be in sync with the respective PartsCompletedPerRun counter.

PartSets contains a list of ProductionPartSetType nodes related to the job. It is a list of the part sets, which contain the parts produced in the current run of the job. For the DisplayName of the <PartSet >, it is recommended to use the value of the Name Property of the respective ProductionPartSetType instance.

PartsGood indicates how many good parts have been completed in the current job including all runs. A part is counted as long as there is no contradicting evidence. Note that such evidence may arise in subsequent processing steps (on different machines), even if a part was counted as good. In this case, the data on the OPC UA Server are not changed retrospectively. If individual Parts are modelled, this counter shall be identical to the number of PartType instances with PartQuality set to Good, CapabilityUnavailable or WillNotBeMeasured.

ProductionPrograms contains a list of ProductionProgramType nodes representing the programs used in the job. This list is made out of at least one instance of ProductionProgramType. The ordering of the programs is displayed using the HasOrderedComponent Reference and the NumberInList component of the ProductionProgramType instance applied from the IOrderedObjectType. The underlying ordering is the call sequence of the programs. The program called first shall have the number 0 and appear first along the OrderedComponents. For the DisplayName of the <OrderedObject >, it is recommended to use the value of the Name Property of the respective ProductionProgramType instance.

The ProductionPrograms may include one single ProductionProgramType instance. If it contains more than one ProductionProgramType instance, the call hierarchy of the programs is not shown in this list. Neither is the relation of programs and channels modelled in the ProductionProgramType. Which programs to include in the list can be chosen by the integrator of the information model (e.g. main program only, subprograms included, …). The list shall include programs relevant to the job and manufacturing of the job, macros and cycles for general purpose tasks are usually not included.

RunsCompleted is a counter that increases after each completed run of the job. This means, the run was not aborted and finished regularly. This counter does not give any indication about the part quality.

RunsPlanned indicates how many times a job should be executed. RunsPlanned has a Property called IsValid, which indicates if the planned number of job runs is known to the machine (True) or not (False). The number of planned job runs not being known occurs in continuous production, that is if the machine is started with the respective job and job runs are repeated endlessly. The production process only ends when the machine is stopped by an external measure (operator or system).

State is an instance representation of the ProductionJobStateMachineType. It indicates the current state the job is in and the transition used to get into this state.

NumberInList is used to enumerate ProductionJobType instances used as list elements. This index shall be 0 for the first list element and increase by one for each subsequent list element. If nodes are deleted from the list or inserted into the list, the NumberInList has to be adjusted for all following nodes in the list, such that the NumberInList elements always form a sequential series of numbers.

8.4.4 ProductionProgramType

The ProductionProgramType is the representation of a program. A program is a list of operations that the controller performs in sequence. It's usually a machine-readable file which is needed for the controller to fulfil the job.

The ProductionProgramType is formally defined in Table 37.

The state Aborted indicates that the operation of or on an element in production has been irreversibly stopped before finishing.

Ended is reached when the operation of or on an element in production has finished.

Initializing is the state in which the element in production is being prepared. During this state, the machine doesn’t have to be ready for production, although it has to be as soon as the transition InitializingToRunning is used. The production is not yet started.

Interrupted indicates that the execution of or on the element in production has been reversibly halted. This is usually due to an error or an intervention by the operating personnel. It is possible to restart operation of or on the element in production after it was in the interrupted state.

Running indicates that the operation of or on an element in production has been started or re-started and is currently running.

MachineTool Production ProductionJobStateMachineType
MachineTool Production InterruptionConditionType

When a new interruption occurs in the production job, an event of InterruptionConditionType can be sent to clarify the reason for the interruption. This is an option in addition to the Interrupted state of the ProductionStateMachineType. It is possible that other interruptions occur while the state machine is in the Interrupted state, e.g. the first interruption being due to a missing part and while the part is still missing, a utility change becomes necessary. In such a case, Events of InterruptionConditionType may be sent for each subsequent interruption. The transition InterruptedToRunning may only be used if no interruption is active. If the interrupted job is aborted (via InterruptedToAborted), the interruption may persist. If a job is then re-initialized via AbortedToInitializing, there are multiple possible cases. In one case the interruption is solved before the job enters the Initializing state. In this case, the same job can transition to Initializing. Another option, when the ProductionPlan is used statically, the job node can be overwritten with the new job being in the Initializing state. Depending on the production context, the interruption of the old job might persist. When the ProductionPlan is used dynamically, a new job node can be created. Whether the interruption can persist is again depending on the production context.

The ProductionJobStateMachineType allows to send Events of ProductionJobTransitionEventType with every transition, as indicated in Table 48. This makes it possible to send all relevant information of the ProductionJobType the state machine instance belongs to with the TransitionEvent.

The state Aborted indicates that the job has been irreversibly stopped before finishing. If the job enters this state, the state machines of any ProductionProgramType and ProductionPartType instances associated with it shall not remain in the state Running.

Ended is reached when the job has finished all its runs, so the value of RunsCompleted is the same as the one for RunsPlanned.

Initializing is the state in which the job is being prepared. That implies the job being scheduled for production in the near future. In this state, actions like e.g. loading and configuring programs, inserting tools and utilities and mounting workpieces may be conducted.

InitializingToRunning is triggered when the job starts. This can only be triggered if all preconditions to start the job are met. A job is usually started by starting a related control routine. This does not result in changes to the components and properties (other than State) of the ProductionJobType instance being started.

RunningToEnded is triggered when the last run of a job finishes. The value of RunsCompleted in the affected ProductionJobType instance is increased by one (and equal to the value of RunsPlanned) due to this transition. In the ProductionJobTransitionEventType, this increased value is sent. This transition also implies that all parts and programs related to the job will no longer change, so e.g. the quality information for each part is finally set.

EndedToInitializing is triggered when initialization of a new job starts. This transition is only used if the nodes in the ProductionPlan are never added or deleted, but remain static in the address space. In this case, all values of the ProductionJobType instance the state machine belongs to are changed to represent a different job. The values of this new job are sent with the ProductionJobTransitionEventType.

RunningToRunning is triggered when a new run of the job starts. The RunsCompleted of the affected ProductionJobType instance increases by one. The ProductionJobTransitionEventType shall send this increased value.

RunningToInterrupted is triggered when the job is interrupted. The point in time the interruption starts shall be when the machine gets the command to interrupt the job process. To indicate the reason for the interruption, an InterruptionConditionEventType with the appropriate ConditionClass may be sent. The components and properties (other than State) of the affected ProductionJobType instance stay unchanged.

InterruptedToRunning is triggered when an interruption ends and production continues running. This transition requires that no interruption is active, regardless of what interruption initially led to the RunningToInterrupted transition. The components and properties (other than State) of the affected ProductionJobType instance stay unchanged.

InterruptedToAborted is triggered when the job is aborted while in the Interrupted state. This transition does not require the reason for the interruption to be solved. The components and properties (other than State) of the affected ProductionJobType instance stay unchanged.

AbortedToInitializing is triggered if production is being re-initialized after an abort. This transition is only used if the nodes in the ProductionPlan are never added or deleted, but remain static in the address space. In this case, all values of the ProductionJobType instance the state machine belongs to are changed to represent a different job. The values of this new job are sent with the ProductionJobTransitionEventType.

The states and transitions shall have the numbers indicated in Table 47. The Number property of CurrentState and LastTransition shall use those same numbers for the respective state/transition.

MachineTool Production ProductionProgramStateMachineType

The ProductionProgramStateMachineType allows to send Events of ProductionProgramTransitionEventType with every transition, as indicated in Table 51. This makes it possible to send all relevant information of the ProductionProgramType the state machine instance belongs to with the TransitionEvent.

Initializing is the state in which the program is not yet started.

Interrupted indicates that the execution of the program has been paused and can be continued. This might be due to waiting for the execution of a subprogram or until a certain condition is met, e.g. the doors of the machine are closed.

EndedToInitializing is only used if the nodes in the ProductionPlan are never added or deleted, but remain static in the address space. The Transition is triggered when a new program is loaded. In this case, all values of the ProductionProgramType instance the state machine belongs to are changed to represent a different program. The values of this new job are sent with the ProductionProgramTransitionEventType.

The states and transitions shall have the numbers indicated in Table 50. The Number property of CurrentState and LastTransition shall use those same numbers for the respective state/transition.

MachineTool Production ProductionPartStateMachineType

The ProductionPartStateMachineType allows to send Events of ProductionPartTransitionEventType with every transition, as indicated in Table 54. This makes it possible to send all relevant information of the ProductionPartType the state machine instance belongs to with the TransitionEvent.

Ended is reached when the production on the part has finished. The PartQuality may be changed while in this state, implying that the part is measured after the production process. The part does not have to be mounted inside the machine while in this state.

Initializing implies the part is scheduled for production, but the machining process on the part has not yet started. The part does not have to be mounted inside the machine while in this state.

Running indicates that the processing of the part within the machine has been started or re-started and is currently running.

InitializingToRunning is triggered when the processing of the part starts. This Transition requires the part to be mounted within the machine .

RunningToEnded is triggered when the processing of the part finishes. This Transition does not require an update of the PartQuality.

<Tool > is an OptionalPlaceholder for nodes of BaseToolType. The tool list can thus contain any number of tools, including none. For the DisplayName of the <Tool >, it is recommended to use the value of the Name Property of the respective BaseToolType instance.

The contents of the ToolListType instance can change during the Server runtime (e.g. if tools are inserted into the machine or removed from it). A change in the list can be indicated using the NodeVersion Property and the GeneralModelChangeEventType. The NodeVersion and the GeneralModelChangeEventType are intended to be used in the way defined in OPC 10000-3 and 7.3.

8.5.3 BaseToolType

The BaseToolType serves as a supertype to the ToolType and the MultiToolType. It is an abstract type, meaning it is not instantiated, only the subtypes are.

Identifier is a unique identifier for a tool. The Identifier can be used to provide a unique ID given by a superordinated management system. This ID can’t be generated on the machine, it has to be transferred to the machine by a global tool management system.

The Location indicates where the tool is located, represented by Name, a name for the tool’s location (e.g. the tool magazine) and PlaceNumber, the place number at this location (refer to Table 59). If there is a shared magazine for multiple machines, a tool will be shown in the tool list (see 8.5.1 and 8.5.2) of all machines for which the tool is available.

The Name is used to name a tool to ease recognition. This name can be specific to the tool (e.g. “special_formpress_part294”), to the type of tool (e.g. “8mm drill”) or to the program (e.g. “T3”).

8.5.4 ToolType

The ToolType is the representation of a tool. Tools are exchangeable components used in a machine to execute the production process and may for example be drills, ball milling heads, cutting inserts, pinching tools and so forth. It may also be a non-contact tool, for example a processing laser.

The ToolType is formally defined in Table 60.

The two components ControlIdentifier1, ControlIdentifier2 are to be interpreted depending on ControlIdentifierInterpretation (refer to 12.10). This reflects the main methods which CNC-based tool management approaches use. In a ToolNumberBased approach, only ControlIdentifier1 is provided and sufficient to identify the tool. In a system with a ToolGroupBasedManagemet, tools are identified by a group and an indexing number inside this group, which are provided as ControlIdentifier1 and ControlIdentifier2 respectively. Should yet another approach be present in a given system, this is indicated by the ControlIdentifierInterpretation being reported as custom. It shall be noted that this identification data is used to identify the tool in the reference frame of the tool management system inside the machine. In many applications the machine control system uses these identifiers to handle multiple tools which are equivalent and present in the machine as spares. For an identification of the tool inside the NC program or globally, independent of the machine management view, the properties Name and Identifier are provided by the BaseToolType.

LastUsage is the time, were the specific tool was the active tool on a tool carrier for the last time, while the machine was operating in an automatic mode (e.g. for CNC controllers: in Mdi- or Automatic-mode).

The property Locked represents whether the tool was locked from use in processing. If True, the tool was locked. It has an additional property as seen in Table 61, ReasonForLocking. ReasonForLocking is defined in 12.9.

The component PlannedForOperating marks tools which the machine control can already mark as being needed for the running NC program or process when being True.

The ToolLife reports on how the tool use and tool life is being currently managed and how far the use of the tool has progressed. If more than one measurement is provided as <ToolLifeEntry >, they shall show the same value as if only one entry was provided, so they shall not be accumulated by a Client.

8.5.5 MultiToolType

Figure 16 – Instance Example of a MultiToolType Object

The MultiToolType represents a unit of different tools, usually used in order to have several tools available in-process without requiring explicit tool-changes. Multitools carry several tools on one tool magazine socket or one revolver index position and will be mounted into the machine as one prepared unit.

Typical applications are in turning, when one indexed position of the tool revolver holds several outer-diameter cutting inserts and boring tools, such that a tool change process can quickly complete by merely readjusting the CNC setpoint position tool compensation.

An instance example on how to instantiate the MultiToolType is shown in Figure 16.

The MultiToolType is formally defined in Table 62.

The ProcessChangeoverPrognosisType is a prognosis indicating at which time in the future the machine has to be prepared for its next manufacturing process. This might e.g. be the change of a fixture within the machine. It can also be used to group different manual steps like tool changes and loading new parts when done between processes, usually given as setup instruction.

The ProcessChangeoverPrognosisType is formally defined in Table 71.

Location refers to the place the tool shall be removed from within the machine’s system boundary, e.g. a tool magazine or the workspace of the machine.

ToolIdentifier is identical to the Identifier property of the tool to change, if applicable. If the tool is not modelled in the AddressSpace of the OPC UA Server, this component shall be filled accordingly.

ToolName contains the name of the tool to change, as described for the BaseToolType in 8.5.3. If the tool is not available in the AddressSpace, the ToolName shall be given in a similar manner.

ToolNodeId is the NodeId of the BaseToolType subtype instance this prognosis refers to.

8.6.12 ToolLoadPrognosisType

The ToolLoadPrognosisType is a prognosis indicating at which time in the future a tool will be loaded into the machine. This prognosis indicates loading a tool within the machine’s workspace or a tool magazine the machine has access to. The ToolLoadPrognosisType shall also be used for prognoses to load tools larger than standard tools (which might imply different work routines).

If a tool that already is in the machine is intended to be exchanged with a similar tool, the ToolChangePrognosisType shall be used.

The ToolLoadPrognosisType is formally defined in Table 74.
