1.1.1 MCIS for machine tools

MCIS comprises a number of function modules, which, with the exception of RCS
and RPC, access the joint MCIS database MCISDB. The MCIS database is made
up of shared components such as user administration and machine nodes, as well
as module-specific components that are assigned to the individual function
modules.
1. Production data management

MDA (Machine Data Acquisition)

PDA (Production Data Acquisition)

PMT (Parts Monitoring & Tracking)
For greater manufacturing transparency and more efficient production
processes.
2. NC program management
DNC (Direct Numeric Control):
For cutting the costs of NC data organization through easier management,
archiving and supply of NC programs for CNC systems
and faster supply of NC programs to SINUMERIK* systems via Ethernet.
3. Tool management
TDI (Tool Data Information):
For reducing the tools in circulation and minimizing machine downtimes.
4. Maintenance management
TPM (Total Productive Maintenance)
For support of the machine operator with maintenance activities on machines
and plants.
5. Service management
RCS (Remote Control System)
Remote diagnostics for reducing machine downtimes through prompt
notification of faults and very simple online diagnostics via modem, ISDN,
intranet, Internet and DSL.
6. Computer link
RPC (Remote Procedure Call)
Computer link software for the communication between SINUMERIK* and an
external master computer.
7. Data management system for control components
ADDM (A&D Data Management)
Management of the data and programs of the components used via a uniform
user interface.
