3.4.1 Control monitors - List view

Function description
Events occurring directly in the control, or even as a result of evaluations of control
values or a machine operator's activities, can be evaluated by control monitors.
As a result, machine statuses can be acquired in order to draw general conclusions
about errors (e.g. alarms), current machine states (e.g. about accuracy determined
by circularity test), or use of resources; to collect production data (e.g. workpiece
counters); to obtain statistical data; and to analyze individual events on a
temporary basis.
Machine operators can use a control monitor to determine which signals they are
interested in and, therefore, which automatic tasks they wish to trigger. When the
SINUMERIK Integrate system detects such an event, it can automatically trigger
actions which, in turn, trigger specific operating sequences or provide diagnostics
data for further analysis.

Note
To define the data that is to be created and the actions that are to be initiated by
a given signal or a combination of signals from a machine at a given predefined
state in the server, the machine operator creates one or more control monitors.
