PLUS Protocol connection
This chapter describes the exchange of information between the Rexroth Tightening System 350 and the
superior production control by means of the PLUS Protocol.
The PLUS Protocol is a TCP/IP-based protocol for the production control.
6.12.1
PLUS functions relevant for the tightening technology
6.12.1.1
Provision of production information (PLUS -
>
operation):
PLUS defines how a workpiece present in a station is to be machined. This information is provided in the
form of what is called an activity pattern which outlines all machining steps and machining parameters for
a specific workpiece.
6.12.1.2
Identifying workpieces
PLUS can identify workpieces by means of various methods, e.g. running number, sequence or workpiece
carrier number. PLUS then assigns the production identifier thus determined to a unique identifier, e.g.
the chassis number or the motor identifier.
6.12.1.3
Transmitting results data for the production flow control
The result of each component machining step is transmitted to PLUS. These results are referred to as
production and quality data (PQD). The superior production control can use the PQD to plan the flow of
a component through production and change it on short notice if necessary, e.g. when a defective part is
transferred to the repair station.
6.12.2
Principles of operation
PLUS uses three different principles of operation, depending on the type of station/operation and
production requirements.
The Rexroth PLUS 1.0 Protocol is supported from version V2.300 of the Rexroth Tightening System 350.
This function is not available in the standard functional scope of the Rexroth Tightening System 350.
For using the PLUS protocol, a CF350 (memory card) has to be inserted in the compact system (CS) or
the communication unit (KE).
As of version V2.600 of the Rexroth Tightening System 350, PLUS data telegram Integra6 is supported.
The PLUS Protocol connection was added.
