Connect Haas Next Generation Control (NGC)

Haas NGC (machines from 2016) has a built-in MTConnect agent on port 8082 once MTConnect is enabled or licensed through the Haas Factory Outlet. As an alternative, Setting 143 "Machine Data Collect" opens a TCP port that answers Haas Q-commands (Q500 returns program, status and parts in one reply). DPRNT output uses a separate connection. Software older than 100.20.000.1200 exposes fewer MTConnect data points.

Software versions

Software below 100.20.000.1200 provides fewer MTConnect data points

Data you can read

MTConnect: execution, mode, program, part count, spindle, alarms
Q-commands: Q100 serial number, Q101 software version, Q102 model, Q104 mode, Q200 total tool changes, Q201 tool in use, Q300 power-on time, Q301 motion time, Q303 last cycle time, Q304 previous cycle time, Q402 M30 parts counter #1, Q403 M30 parts counter #2, Q500 program, status and parts in one reply, Q600 macro variable read

Avoid clashesIntegrators recommend turning off HaasConnect, HaasDrop and Remote Net Share when using Machine Data Collect.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Likely cause	Fix
"Too many connections. Disconnecting."	More clients than the control accepts	Use one collector and share its data.
MTConnect has few items	Old control software	Update to 100.20.000.1200 or later through HFO.

Traps to avoid

DPRNT needs its own connection and port, separate from Machine Data Collect.
Exact meaning of Settings 261, 262 and 263 for DPRNT is in Haas documentation we could not open; integrators note 261 and 263 affect the DPRNT connection.
