On Wednesday September 3rd 2025 we released version 9.0.0.0 of our popular IIoT Adapter for Heidenhain controllers that supports reading from and writing to legacy TNC 426 devices up to the newest TNC 7. This version comes with major enhancements.
The adapter now is able to read TNC Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) data by usage of symbolic PLC address namesonly e.g. NN_CHNAFCSPINDLELOAD for Spindle Load.
It also allows to write PLC data by only using symbolic names without the need to know the numeric address of the desired item. Writing by symbolic name can even be performed by external applications.
For machines without DNC Option 18 the adapter now is able to automatically find the required marker addresses to output of correct machine states by using the symbolic PLC name definitions of the specific machine.
