MDA – YOUR CONNECTION KIT BETWEEN MACHINE CONTROLS AND YOUR IT-WORLD

The Manufacturing Data Agent (MDA) allows you to read out and save data from an PLC in the required format. As easy as the data can be read, setpoints for the production can be written into the machine controls directly from your IT-world. Databases from the MES (Manufacturing Execution System) can be connected easily.
 
MDA is built up modular and runs on standard PC’s (minimum Windows 7, for more information see system requirements). The connection to the PLC works via ethernet. A functionable version of the MDA on an IPC is described as an instance. Every instance is individual and consists of the Manufacturing Data Agent as a basis and interface modules. You only buy the modules you really need. An extension later on is possible as well.

Diverse data formats
The Data from the MDA can be saved in different formats. You can choose between CSV and SQL as well as saving onto a web-service.

Many PLC-connections
The Manufacturing Data Agent allows the connection of many PLC systems of different types. You can choose between uni- and bi-directional connections.

Bi-directional
The MDA offers an uni-directional PLC connection as well as bi-directional connection that allows Data to be written into an PLC as well as to be read out.

Easy licensing
The MDA certification works via an integrated software module. The license is connected to the PC via the MAC-address and therefore does not require a dongle.
