On November 28 we released updated versions of CNCnetPDM and our MTConnect client device driver with various enhancements and fixes:
CNCNETPDM 6.3.2.0 (11/28/2019)
The MTConnect Adapter now automatically creates tag|value pairs for availability e.g. avail|AVAILABLE for all device drivers that do not provide this tag f.i. Heidenhain or Fanuc. In case a device goes down the MTConnect Adapter switches all values for configured tags to 'UNAVAILABLE'. As soon as the device is reachable again the actual values are output. An issue was fixed that led to problems when a database or MTConnect outage occurred and multiple instances of CNCnetPDM were running on the same PC. Support of device drivers that may produce a high volume of output within short time was enhanced. Malformed or incorrect input from device drivers is now properly detected and filtered out.
