Kitamura Arumatik-Mi

The Arumatik-Mi — the large 19" screen — has MTConnect built in through AnyWhere Remote. No extra PC and no separate adapter software.

The Arumatik-Mi control includes Kitamura's AnyWhere Remote application, which provides a built-in MTConnect adapter. MTConnect is enabled from inside AnyWhere Remote and unlocked with a license file supplied by Kitamura.

Step 1: Open AnyWhere Remote​

On the control, navigate to Custom → Option and locate the AnyWhere Remote icon.

Step 3: Request and install the MTConnect license​

The MTConnect adapter requires a license from Kitamura. The MTConnect window shows the current status — if it reads NOT ENABLED, work through the steps below.

  1. In the MTConnect window, select Save License Request.
  2. Save the generated License.FWRequest file to a USB drive.
  3. Email the file to Kitamura.
  4. Kitamura emails back a License.FWLicense file.
  5. Load the returned license file on the control using Load New License.

Use Save License Request to generate the license request file, and Load New License to install the file Kitamura sends back.

Step 4: Add the machine in MachineMetrics​

Once MTConnect shows as enabled:

  1. Confirm the machine's IP address and the MTConnect agent port shown in the AnyWhere Remote MTConnect window. If the port is not listed, ask Kitamura to confirm it for your control version.
  2. From a PC on the same network, browse to http://<machine-ip>:<agent-port>/current. XML output confirms the agent is serving data.
  3. Add the machine in MachineMetrics as a standard MTConnect connection.

Follow Adding the Machine in MachineMetrics in the MTConnect guide for the full walkthrough.
