IndraMotion MTX versions and OPC UA support

Hi🤠 ,

Bosch Rexroth IndraMotion MTX seems to have four versions: micro, standard, performance, and advanced. I’d like to know where I can find some technical documents about them.

I’m currently learning data acquisition, and I want to know whether the MTX versions used by customers support the OPC UA protocol.

Also, when I visit a customer site, how can I quickly check if their MTX supports OPC UA?

Is there any document I can refer to for this?

Thanks!

Hello,

OPC UA was introduced with IndraWorks version 13, but only access to PLC, SERCOS and diagnosis data was supported. With IndraWorks version 14 also the access to the NC data was implemented.

Therefore OPC UA in combination with the MTX makes only sense with IndraWorks version 14 and 15. Please check the OPC UA documentation (https://www.boschrexroth.com/de/de/media-details/e899e52f-a382-4101-a411-ccb8c171fbbf),

because not all items, available with version 15, are also available with version 14.

As already mentioned before, all MTX versions (micro, standard, performance, and advanced) support OPC UA, because, they have the same OPC UA server implemented.
