Atlas Copco MT Focus 6000

[adrake]

Using the Open Torque Tool Protocol driver, I am struggling connecting a Atlas Copco MT Focus 6000 (not Power Focus). According to the Kepware driver supported devices, this is a supported device. However, it has proven impossible to connect to the LTR tags and the 1201/1202 tags to get torque results. We have validated that the 'Communication' messages are successful and valid, and can validate data via diagnostics. However, the driver does not recognize the data format and sets most tag quality to 'Bad (Out of Service)' We have tried every message revision and MID8 / MID60. 

Is it truly possible to get torque result data from an MTF6000 using Kepware's Open Torque Tool Protocol driver?

Recommended Resolutions:-

The MT Focus 6000 uses a MicroTorque‑specific Open Protocol variant, which does not match the standard Open Protocol format expected by Kepware’s Torque Tool Ethernet driver, causing parsing failures. [support.ptc.com]
Kepware’s driver is validated for Power Focus and other standard Open‑Protocol tools, not MT Focus 6000, so LTR / MID 1201 / MID 1202 torque results cannot be reliably 

What to do

Use an Atlas Copco MT‑specific interface (e.g., MT API or ToolsTalk MT).
Or create a custom Open Protocol client following MT Focus 6000 protocol rules.
Optionally submit a device‑support request to Kepware for future compatibility.
