Development of a data collection system for a CNC system using cloud FRED technology and OPC UA specification

Collecting data from process equipment is currently an interesting task. The use of complex SCADA systems is not always possible and is usually an expensive solution. For some tasks, in-depth analysis of the received technological information is not needed, but visualization of the necessary data is sufficient. In control systems, it is usually not possible to create custom HMI screens. The use of new approaches based on web technologies and cloud solutions allows collecting and visualizing data on web pages and screens of mobile devices. The article shows a solution for collecting data from a CNC system using the OPC UA protocol and subsequent data visualization based on the FRED cloud platform in the required format with the ability to configure HMI screens.
