Adding Siemens OPC-UA (v4.05) for monitoring

This is NOT for later versions such as 4.07.

Pre checks

1.     Check the machine has the required software version 4.05 [MENU SELECT] > {diagnostics} > {version}.

2.     Check if the Access My Machine option is on (if it is not on then we can turn it on temporarily in a later step. [MENU SELECT] > {setup} > {right >} > {license} > {all}, now scroll down.

 

Procedure

1.     Set the IP address (I found DHCP) works best. [MENU SELECT] > {setup} > {right >} > {network}. After making changes, restart the the machine fully (not po reset). Whilst here, add the port TCP/4840 to additional.

2.     Set the password SUNRISE. If you do not do this you will not see the hidden files in the next step.

3.     Copy .../siemens/sinumerik/hmi/template/MiniWeb_<Targetsystem>_systemconfiguration.ini to  .../oem/sinumerik/hmi/cfg/systemconfiguration.ini 


a.     If system config already exists, just copy the following into the existing file:

[processes]

PROC100= image:="/siemens/sinumerik/hmi/miniweb/release/miniweb.exe", process:=MiniWebServer, cmdline:="../System ../WWWRoot", startupTime:=afterServices, workingdir:="/siemens/sinumerik/hmi/miniweb/release"

4.     Copy .../siemens/sinumerik/hmi/template/cfg/OPC_UAApplication.xml to .../oem/sinumerik/hmi/miniweb/WebCfg/OPC_UAApplication.xml


5.     Change all 3 localhost's in the OPC_UAApplication.xml file to the ip address of the machine.

6.     Restart the machine fully.

7.     Use the OPC test app to test.
