The technical functionality of MTConnect is based on a hierarchical data model and a simple <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/XML\">XML<\/a>-based communication protocol.<\/p>\n<p>The functionality primarily encompasses three main components:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Data Sources:<\/strong> Data sources are the machines and devices in a manufacturing facility that are equipped with sensors and control systems to collect various data such as operational states, production parameters, tool conditions, etc. These continuously transmit data to an agent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Agents:<\/strong> Agents are software components that receive data from one or more data sources and store it temporarily. Upon a client&#8217;s request, this data is transmitted to the client in the MTConnect format. Optionally, adapters can be used to convert raw data from data sources into a format readable by agents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Clients:<\/strong> Clients are the software applications or systems that ultimately receive, process, and utilize the machine data. These can include monitoring and diagnostic systems, data analysis applications, Manufacturing Execution Systems (<a href=\"https:\/\/selfbits.de\/en\/what-is-an-mes-system\/\">MES<\/a>), or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de899f1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"de899f1\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eedbbd4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"eedbbd4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/selfbits.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Schema-MTConnect-1024x564.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-9290\" alt=\"Schematischer Aufbau der Kommunikation \u00fcber MTConnect mit Client, Agent und Equipment\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27ca7a6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"27ca7a6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"504\" src=\"https:\/\/selfbits.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/MTConnect-Architekturmodell-1024x504.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-9292\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1457922 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1457922\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49d6d14 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"49d6d14\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>MTConnect defines a standardized data model that describes the various types of machine data and their structure.
