Physical Connection

  1. 1

    Locate the machine control panel Ethernet port

    Trumpf TruLaser machines have an RJ45 Ethernet port on the control cabinet. Newer machines with HMIC (Human Machine Interface Console) have multiple ports.

  2. 2

    Connect to edge node

    Cat6 from the machine Ethernet port to the Flowstate CL260 edge node.

Machine Configuration

  1. 1

    Configure Trumpf OPC-UA

    Trumpf's smart factory integration uses either TruConnect (legacy) or the Smart Factory Hub (2022+). Enable the OPC-UA server in the machine configuration menu.

    Trumpf may require a service technician visit to enable the connectivity option on older machines.

  2. 2

    Configure Flowstate OPC-UA client

    Set the OPC-UA endpoint to opc.tcp://<machine-ip>:4840. Trumpf uses a proprietary namespace — the Flowstate integration template maps standard nodes.

Verification

  1. 1

    Browse OPC-UA namespace

    Connect to the OPC-UA endpoint and verify machine status, program name, and cutting parameters are accessible.

  2. 2

    Dashboard check

    Laser cutter appears in Flowstate with cutting status, power output, program name, and sheet processing data.
