OVERVIEW
The MES Interface module enables improved yield and product quality through its direct connectivity between programmable controller systems of production equipment and information system databases. Conventionally, gateway personal computers have performed the polling processing in which programmable controller devices and programs are constantly checked to enable the connectivity. With the MES interface module, the transmission of data can be event-driven by specifying an event as a trigger and it allows the data to be inserted into database records directly. Compared to the conventional connectivity implemented using the gateway computers, the direct database connectivity implemented using the MES interface module will decrease system complexity, improve reliability, and eliminate data loss, resulting in better agility, less maintenance and reduces total cost of ownership (TCO).

1.1
MES Interface Module
The MES interface module provides a highly reliable and easy method for exchanging data between programmable controller
CPUs and common industrial quality databases. Most production execution software applications use a database to source data and store results. The product is named "MES interface module" because it greatly improves MES implementation and operation by providing a high quality, high function link to the factory equipment.
One MES interface module can handle data with up to 32 database connections. Communications between the MES interface module and the host computer system occur in a secure, encrypted format and the messages exist in SQL
*1
format, which is well suited to passage through common IT infrastructure devices such as firewalls, routers and switches.
The MES interface module is set up using the dedicated configuration software. For most applications, no computer language programming or control logic programming is required. The knowledge of SQL language is not required because the setup processing is executed in a menu driven format and SQL statements are automatically created based on the settings. The idea is that standard engineering staff can easily handle initial setup and subsequent modification of the MES interface module configuration.
*1 An abbreviation for Structured Query Language.
A database manipulation language that is used for operating a relational database.
Feature
The MES interface module provides enhanced functions with significant benefits beyond simple data transfer.
Connection with the information system using simple settings without program
SQL statements can be automatically created only by specifying necessary settings with the setting tool. Additionally, since the stored procedures can be called from databases, a CPU module, the MES interface module, and databases can be communicated easily. There is no need to write programs for data communications, so the engineering costs for system construction can be reduced and the work period can be shortened.
Reduction in the information system load
The MES interface module monitors conditions for event data generation using the trigger condition monitoring function and when the conditions are satisfied, data, such as production status, is sent to IT system databases using the data Input/output function. Another feature is that data, such as work instructions, can be buffered in and read from databases.
When performing the above processing, data is operated and processed using the data operation and processing function and results can be sent to the information system.
This can reduce the information system loads compared to the conventional system which uses a gateway personal computer to constantly acquire and monitor data.
10 1 OVERVIEW
1.1 MES Interface Module
Buffering function for reliable data acquisition/transmission
■
Trigger buffering function
The trigger buffering function buffers trigger information when a trigger condition for a later job is satisfied. After the former job is completed, the later job is executed according to the trigger information.
Even if the frequency of data transmission triggers is high, jobs are executed without missing any trigger.
When conditions for data transmission of multiple jobs are satisfied at the same time, their data and times are buffered in an internal memory of a module.
After the loads are reduced, data operations and transmission are executed using the buffered data.
For details on the trigger buffering function, refer to the following.
Page 47 Trigger buffering function
■
DB buffering function
This function protects send data to a database even if a communication error occurs.
This function buffers SQL statement or stored procedure call information to the DB buffer on an SD memory card when they cannot be sent due to network disconnection or failure of the server on which the database is installed.
The buffered SQL statement or stored procedure call information is automatically resent to the database after recovery. (They can be also resent manually.)
For details on the DB buffering function, refer to the following.
Acquisition of log data when access errors occur
After connection with a database, when a communication error occurs, a log of the error definition can be recorded on the database.
Analyzing the log can analyze the error definition.
Support of various databases
When designing a new system, a suitable database can be selected from the different database types.
Even when connecting to the existing system, the system can be transferred without changing the existing database.
Access independent of the database table configuration
Flexibly designed database tables can be used for accessing to databases.
When designing a new system, its design is highly flexible. Moreover, when connecting to the existing system, the system can be configured without changing the database tables.
Time synchronization with a CPU module
The MES interface module can synchronize time with a CPU module. Synchronizing the time of the CPU module with an
SNTP server enables to synchronize time of the entire system.

1.2
Database
This section describes databases which the MES interface module uses as a source or destination for information exchanged with programmable controller CPU modules.
For this example, a database is defined as software which provides a virtual filing system for storing groups of related data. It also provides a set of commands that enable access, editing and manipulation of the stored data.
The following are some example cases that may occur in a database.
• During processing of a set of data, an error occurs.
In response, a user can apply a rollback command that restores the data to its original state.
• While certain stored data is being retrieved in one process, new data that needs to be stored in a second process arrives.
The database should handle completion of both actions without conflict or user intervention.
• A researcher desires to retrieve a specific set of 15 data items that was originally stored in the database on July 15th at
2:30 AM 5 years ago.
The user will create a "query" or command structure that the database understands as a request for data retrieval. The database will return the specified information when the query is executed.
Database types
There are different database types including relational, hierarchical, and XML. The MES interface module operates with relational databases provided by Microsoft
and Oracle
.
Relational databases organize data into tables consisting of fields (columns) and records (rows). The contents in one database can range from one table to many thousands.

1.2 Database
Database commands
All common databases implement a standardized command format called SQL (Structured Query Language). SQL defines each command action that a user can apply to operate the various database functions and the syntax for the command and response messages paragraph change.
The MES interface module executes the basic commands such as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE. All other commands or complicated processing must be executed outside the MES interface module or by using a stored procedure.

Writing of job execution result
Job verification function
Description
Upon the reception of the notification when the trigger condition is satisfied, the availability of the job execution is determined by the number of executable jobs and the execution status.
Reads data required for executing job in job units using the data input/output function.
The data which is included in the data to be used for trigger condition is not read.
Performs exclusive control of the database to be used for jobs to prevent that the multiple jobs which use the same database server are dead-locked.
Executes functions of the MES interface module.
Writes the execution result of the job to data using the data input/output function.
Controls writing operation of the start of job, execution of action, and execution result of job when executing job which is in verification before starting operation or in development.

5.1 Functions of MES Interface Module
Trigger buffering function
The trigger buffering function buffers the following information required for job execution as trigger information to execute later when the job execution operation function receives the trigger condition satisfaction notification of the same job which is in execution without discarding the notification.
• Read data of a device tag component
• Time at trigger monitoring
• Time at trigger ON
• Date and time character string
However, this function cannot be enabled for the job (including a job of which trigger type is handshake) which writes data to the CPU module, except for the specific function.
*1
*1 The notification when a job execution is not performed normally (job cancellation notification/notification of exception) is available.
■
Behavior when the trigger buffering function is disabled (normal)
When a trigger condition for a job is satisfied again during execution of the job, the next job is not executed.
Ex.
When value monitoring is regarded as a condition

Features
■
Enhanced visibility and operability
3D graphics enables to monitor devices from various angles with stereoscopic displays that are not achieved with 2D graphics.
On a 3D graphic window, users can shift the window's viewpoint freely and zoom in/out the window, so monitor an entire equipment as well as details of an equipment.
Integrating with 2D graphic windows which are excellent in monitoring device operating status and displaying measurement data enhances the visibility and operability of the monitoring windows.
■
Enhanced reliability
MC Works64 enables to construct a sever redundant systems and server-and- client systems.
Two servers, a control server and a standby server, can be utilized to enhance the reliability of the system and reduce the communication load on the network.
Server systems can be configured flexibly depending on system scale, from large-scaled systems to standalone systems.
■
Remote monitoring with any device
MA Works64 client system supports the monitoring on a web browser.
With the MC Works 64 server as the web server, access and monitoring from clients on the web can be performed.
Operating status of equipment can be monitored remotely on any mobile device such as a tablet computer or a smart phone.
■
Reduced engineering man-hours
Utilizing pre-registered symbols in libraries reduces the man-hours for symbol design on a monitoring window.
Tags can be registered to symbols to change color and display numerical value using the animation function of the preregistered symbols, so reduces the man-hours for script creation.
■
Visualization and analysis of energy consumption
Integrating Mitsubishi Electric energy measurement device, energy display, and AX Energy, an energy analysis and visualization tool, enables to visualize energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the whole system or per device.

SCADA software
SCADA is the abbreviation for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition. It is a system of software controlled with a personal computer to perform industrial system supervision, system control, and data acquisition.
The basic configuration includes client personal computers, an SCADA server, and programmable controllers as shown below.
Industrial systems are normally controlled using the programmable controllers and relevant data, such as production results and process values, is collected in the SCADA server.
The collected data is interconnected with graphics to operate animations on a screen of an HMI (Human-Machine Interface) on the SCADA server, recorded as logs, and utilized to notify alarms.
When collecting data from programmable controllers, device addresses of the programmable controllers and data elements, known as tags, handled on the SCADA server need to be linked. Tag databases manage this processing//operation.
To check log data, alarms, and graphics, open an HMI screen by accessing the server from a client personal computer.
Alternatively, the HMI screen can be opened directly on the server.
SCADA system primally collect data. In addition to this function, it converts values on the HMI screen to send instructions to control systems and sends signals for production instructions and process values to the programmable controller after the buttons are pressed.
