3	channel	Int32	C	Channel number; if absent, represents the default channel

The combination of data tags depends on the machine’s control system; the tag combinations required by different systems are as follows (tool offset data tag combinations):

System Model	toolNum (tool number)	offsetNum (offset number)
Bosunman 博尚	X	O
Brother 兄弟	X	O
Delta 台达	X	O

If an output quantity has the same name as a tag, the output result will also appear in the tag, but this result does not serve an identifying purpose.

1.2.19. PLC: PLC Data

PLC data includes external PLC data.

PLC data <field> data fields:

Field	Type	Description
data	Object[]	PLC data other than String type.
msg	String	String-type PLC data.
pArray	Object[]	Array data obtained through post-processing
pInt64	Int64	Int64 data obtained through post-processing
pDouble	Double	Double data obtained through post-processing
pString	String	String data obtained through post-processing
pBool	Bool	Bool data obtained through post-processing

PLC data <tag> data tags:

No.	Tag	Type	Abbreviation	Description
1	channel	Int32	C	Channel number; if absent, represents the default channel
2	tag	String	T	Tag name or sequence number

If a tag is defined in the PLC task command (see the Bivrost Gateway Manual 6.2.1. PLC Data Task for details), tag takes the value defined in the command; for example, if the tag in the PLC command is “Temperature Data 1”, then tag is “T Temperature Data 1”. If no tag is defined in the PLC task command, tag is T + sequence number, with the sequence number starting from 0. For example, if no tag is defined in the first PLC task command, its sequence number is 0 and tag is T0. When there are multiple PLC acquisition commands, the sequence number accumulates based on the reply data length specified by each command.

If the sequence number of the previous PLC task command is x, then the sequence number of the next one is:

x + the data length obtained by the previous task

Here, data length refers to the number of corresponding 16-bit units for the data.

The main parameters of a PLC task command are: area, start address, data count, and data type.

If the data type is String:

Data length = (data count + 1) / 2, with the result rounded down.

For example:

PLC command DB1,1,11,String, data length = (11 + 1) / 2, rounded down to 6.

If the data type is not String:

Data length = single data length * data count, where:

Single data length = (bit count of the single data type + 15) / 16, with the result rounded down.

For example:

PLC command M,100,5,Bit0, single data length = (1 + 15) / 16, rounded down to 1. Data length = 1 * 5 = 5.

PLC command R,100,5,Byte, single data length = (8 + 15) / 16, rounded down to 1. Data length = 1 * 5 = 5.

PLC command R,100,5,Int16, single data length = (16 + 15) / 16, rounded down to 1. Data length = 1 * 5 = 5.

PLC command R,100,5,Int32, single data length = (32 + 15) / 16, rounded down to 2. Data length = 2 * 5 = 10.

PLC command R,100,5,Float, single data length = (32 + 15) / 16, rounded down to 2. Data length = 2 * 5 = 10.

PLC command R,100,5,Double, single data length = (64 + 15) / 16, rounded down to 4. Data length = 4 * 5 = 20.

The sequence number of the first external PLC task continues numbering after the sequence number of the last PLC task.

currentCuttingTimeMin	Int32	Current cutting time 1 [minutes]
currentCuttingTimeMs	Int32	Current cutting time 2 [ms]

The time data supported by each system model is shown in the table below, where:

O (shown as ✅ in the table below): time data supported by the machine. Each time value is stored as two Int32 values: time 1 is the portion exceeding 1 minute, in minutes; time 2 is the portion under 1 minute, in milliseconds. The actual time value is the sum of time 1 and time 2 after converting them to the same unit. For example:

cumulativeOperatingTimeMin = 6683, cumulative operating time 1
cumulativeOperatingTimeMs = 13328, cumulative operating time 2
cumulative operating time = [cumulative operating time 1]*60*1000+[cumulative operating time 2]
             = 6683*60*1000+13328
             = 400993328 ms

*: For some Siemens systems, the cumulative operating time, cumulative machining (cutting) time, and current machining (cutting) time obtained are always 0, because although the corresponding variables exist in the system, the system does not actually write any value to them.

Some time data can be manually reset to zero on the machine control system.

Time data supported by each system model (✅ = supported, blank = not supported):

System Model	Cumulative Power-On Time	Current Power-On Time	Cumulative Operating Time	Current Operating Time	Cumulative Machining (Cutting) Time	Current Machining (Cutting) Time	Last Cycle Time	Current Cycle Time	Current Workpiece Cutting Time	Remaining Cycle Time
