Available after qualification
This adapter is publicly cataloged and available after TAMS confirms the exact controller, source interface, deployment boundary, and requested MTConnect observations. It is not presented as plug-and-play.
- Best for
- Teams connecting Siemens Solution Line equipment to MTConnect
- What you need
- Controller version, machine configuration, network constraints, and required data
- Delivery or workflow
- Software, Edge-Connect delivery; Available after qualification
Quick Human Summary
What this adapter helps you connect
This adapter helps qualified Siemens Solution Line equipment publish useful MTConnect data for monitoring, reporting, validation, and downstream manufacturing systems.
Likely fit: Evaluate a software or Edge-Connect-delivered MTConnect integration for a Siemens Solution Line controller.
TAMS will verify the exact equipment, source access, network boundary, requested observations, and validation scope before confirming the quote.
Connection Method: NCK and PLC data interfaces
What happens next
You do not need every answer before contacting TAMS. Engineers can help qualify fit, estimate effort, and prepare a realistic quote.
Adapter overview
The TAMS adapter supports scoped integrations for Siemens 840D Solution Line controllers.
The adapter can be deployed without installing application software on the Siemens HMI. This approach can reduce HMI-side changes, although network access, controller options, interfaces, and machine-builder configuration still need to be reviewed.
TAMS uses the Model-Aware® workflow to map available controller data into an agreed MTConnect information model. Supported DataItems and validation results depend on the scoped machine configuration and MTConnect version.
Supported Equipment
Is your machine likely in scope?
Compatibility is qualified from the exact controller, software or firmware, enabled interface, machine-builder configuration, and requested observations. A manufacturer name alone is not a support guarantee.
- SINUMERIK 840D Solution Line family; exact generation and options require qualification
What TAMS will verify: Coverage varies by SINUMERIK 840D solution line generation and option packages.
What You Get / Common Outputs
MTConnect observations this record is designed around
Published outputs are qualified during adapter assessment. TAMS will confirm the MTConnect observations needed for your downstream systems before quoting or commissioning.
Integration Journey
From equipment assessment to validated handoff
- Confirm the source.Record the controller model, software or firmware, options, interface, and available access.
- Define the MTConnect scope.Agree on device and component modeling, observations, assets, downstream consumers, and validation boundary.
- Select delivery.Deploy the Adapter on approved infrastructure or use an Edge-Connect configuration when this catalog record supports it.
- Commission and validate.Test the source mapping, Agent stream, network behavior, and agreed evidence before handoff.
Review custom MTConnect adapter development and integration services or use the MTConnect Adapter Guide to prepare controller and network details.

Integration Details
Engineering details TAMS uses to confirm fit
These details remain available for technical review, but they are grouped here so the page stays easier to scan.
Connection Method
Interface: NCK and PLC data interfaces
SINUMERIK 840D Solution Line family; exact generation and options require qualification
Dynamic Information Modeling Strategy
A Dynamic Information Modeling Strategy generates the MTConnect Device model by interrogating the equipment, controller, or source interface at adapter startup or runtime.
Adapter note: The MTConnect Device model is generated dynamically from the reviewed Siemens Solution Line controller/source interface and project scope.
Important Fit Notes
What TAMS will verify before confirming this adapter is the right fit.
- No blanket coverage is claimed across every 840D generation or option package
- Power, asset, and production context remain source- and scope-dependent
