I am new to CNC machines, I am doing research on communication with sinumeric and display them fairly on dashboards.
I could establish connection with siemens sinumeric 282D OPC UA successfully, and could read all the data I want to know how long the machine was utilised properly in the given time frame. For that I was considering to use ProgramStatus variable.
ProgramStatus
I am able to read value '5' as program status, but I dont know what 5 mean? is it running or idle or any other state. How can I go about solving this problem? please kindly guide me here.
