Enabling MTConnect

To find out if MTConnect is enabled on your machine, either check with your machine vendor, or you can check the machine yourself by following the steps below.

From a desktop, ping the IP address of the machine to confirm that it's connected.(In the screenshot we try di ping a machine with ip 192.168.0.10 with positive result)

3

In a browser, go to port 7878 on that machine (Example: 192.168.0.10:7878). The port could be also the 5000 or any other specific port of your equipment

If data appears, your machine is Mtconnect compliance.
If no data appears, then your machine is not producing MTConnect data. You may require a control software upgrade.

If you are able to successfully enable MTConnect, the next step is to add your machine to your Mekconnect Account, using Mecdata Mtconnect Agent Service
