Check if you can collect data from your machines

Machine connectivity checker

Can I connect this machine?
Get the exact answer.

Select the machine, CNC and required data. MDCplus will identify the protocol, connection architecture and monitoring scope before you start a pilot.

No installation for the first check Read-only connection Controller-specific result

From model to live data

Know the connection path before the project starts

The checker translates machine and controller data into a practical integration route. You get the protocol, network requirements, available signals and the next action.

Describe the machine

Choose the machine manufacturer, model, controller series, production year and required data points.

Get the technical route

See the recommended protocol, connection type, supported signals and likely integration complexity.

Move to live monitoring

Choose the protocol library or a complete connection service with commissioning and monitoring setup.

Connected to MDCplus

From raw controller signals to production monitoring

A successful connection is not the finish line. MDCplus normalizes machine data and turns it into a live production view for operators, engineers and managers.

Controller and protocol coverage

Modern CNC, PLC and legacy equipment

The final connection method depends on the exact controller version, installed options and available interfaces. The checker narrows that route before an engineering review.
