ODAC

Set up the ODAC Connector for ENLYZE.

This guide walks you through connecting Zumbach ODAC measuring heads. The ODAC Connector reads the measured values of the measuring head (such as diameter, deviation, and production length) directly via its Ethernet interface.

Supported devices

• Zumbach ODAC measuring heads with an Ethernet interface

The Zumbach ODAC measuring head communicates either via the native ODAC protocol or the ANSI Host protocol. ENLYZE detects which protocol is active automatically when the connection is established. In most cases you do not need to worry about this. See Tips & practical notes for background.

Connect an ODAC data source

1

Connect the data source to the network

If not already done, establish a network connection between the ODAC measuring head and the Edge Device. See Integration scenarios for the available options.

You need the IP address of the measuring head for the connection. It cannot be derived automatically. Instead, you read it directly from the HMI:

1. Log in to the HMI. The password is printed in the device manual. If it has been changed, ask the person responsible for the machine.

2. Navigate to the console in the menu.

3. Query the IP address with the matching command: SL in ODAC mode, a930 in ANSI Host mode (service port), or a940 in ANSI Host mode (host port).

Create the data source

Open the ENLYZE Manufacturing Data Platform, select the machine you want to add the data source to, and click + Data source.

Next, fill in the Data source details form. The following table shows an example value for each field when connecting a Zumbach ODAC measuring head:

Field	Example	Comment
Name	Zumbach ODAC 18XY	Pick a descriptive name for the data source
Machine	Test Machine ABC - Köln	Each data source is assigned to exactly one machine (preselected from the previous step)
Device manufacturer	Zumbach	Name of the device manufacturer
Device information	ODAC 18XY	Model number, version, or CPU of the measuring head
Note	(optional)	Comments or important remarks
Edge device	quirky-keller	Printed on a sticker on each Edge Device. Follows the pattern adjective-scientist
Connector	ODAC	Select the ODAC Connector
IP address	192.168.17.2	The IP must be reachable from the Edge Device
Port	2020	Default: 2020. The port is fixed to 2020 on the ODAC

Finally, click Save.

Add variables

The ODAC Connector supports Variable Discovery, so variables are added automatically. The first Variable Discovery run is triggered as soon as you save the data source.

ODAC variables carry short two-letter codes (e.g. DA for the measured diameter). Each variable comes with a description so you can identify the relevant measured values.

After Variable Discovery completes, no data is being recorded yet. You first need to select the variables to record. Follow our variable onboarding flow.

Commonly recorded measured values

The following variables are the most commonly recorded in practice. Which of them a given measuring head provides depends on the model and its configuration.

Code	Measured value
DA	Diameter (measured value 1)
DB	Deviation 1 (RMS diameter)
DC	Measured value 2
DE	Measured value 3
DR	Production length
MJ	Neckdown counter
MK	Lump counter
EB	Device error code
