Batch Management Of Maintenance Information; Functional Overview - Mitsubishi Electric CR800-D Series User Manual

12. Batch management of maintenance
information
Explains how to collectively manage maintenance information of the entire production line with the host
system.

12.1. Functional overview

Maintenance information used in the predictive maintenance function is compatible with the data output in
communication protocol MelfaRXM.ocx, SLMP.
By using this function to collectively manage the maintenance information of the entire production line in a
host system, it is easier to plan maintenance schedules and carry out maintenance activities for the entire
production line.
Use the following means to output predictive maintenance data so the maintenance information of each
robot in your factory can be collectively managed. (For data to be output, refer to "12.2 Output data".)
Communication
protocol
MelfaRXM.ocx This is ActiveX control that communicates with the robot
controller used when you create application software to
communicate with the robot controller.
The instruction manual is included in the following folder
in the CD-ROM of RT ToolBox3 (Standard Version/Pro
Version).
Communication Middleware (MelfaRXM.ocx) Manual:
[Utility¥MelfaRXM¥Doc¥MelfaRxMJ.pdf]
SLMP This is a common protocol for inter-application
communication. Reading/writing of robot controller
devices can be performed from a compatible
programmable controller, personal computer or HMI
(Human Machine Interface), and other devices via
Ethernet.
For details, refer to the following instruction manual.
