Introduction
- This guide describes how to setup the registration of stop, when there is no production. This is used when one doesn't have one or more signals describing the state of the unit. In this case one can approximate the state based on production signals.
Setup
Go to the Configuration->Datasource page:
Select the unit you wish to setup the registration for (The units here are examples and are of cause different from yours):
Click the Add button:
Select Stop when no production:
Configuration of Stop when no production
- Name: The name of the event server, that is collecting the data.
- Small stop time: This is how long a small stop can last in seconds. A stop is consisted a small stop as long as it hasn't lasted longer than this period.
- Small Stop Reason: This is the stop reason that is used with small stops.
- Diap Tags: The Diap tags is where the production counts are collected from. The structure of the name is [DIAP]-[PLC]-[Tag]
- Stop reason: This is the stop reason that is used, when the stop has lasted longer than Small stop time.
- Inactive time: This is how much time has to pass in seconds after the last production activity from the Diap Tags, for considering the production stopped.
- Initial stop time: This is how long the stop initially is when a stop is generated.
Diap tag data type
- Type: Double
The expected data type is decimal numbers like : 0.0, 0.1,1.0, 1.2
Example - Initial stop time:
A unit has had its last production activity 40 seconds ago, the Inactive time is set to 30 seconds and the initial stop is set to 10 seconds. This means that the production is considered to be stopped for seconds:
Example - Configure stop when no production
Select a name for the event server, that is collecting the data. Here we called it "production_activity":
Set how long a small may last in seconds. Stops that last to this period and not longer, are consisted small stops. Here we sat it to 30 seconds:
Select a small stop reason, when a small stop is created, it uses this stop reason. Here we used "Små stop":
Select the Diap tags, where the data comes from. Here we selected "dev00225 - Demo - Tag 1" and "dev00225 - Demo - Tag 2":
(You can type in this box to quicker search for the tag):
Select the stop reason, that will be used, when the stop has lasted longer than Small stop time. Here we selected "No Production":
Set how much time in seconds since the last production activity, for the production to be considered stopped. Here we sat it to 30 seconds:
Set how long the stop start to be in seconds, when the production is stopped:
When you are done, the configuration should look something like this(But with your values):
Click Save to save the configuration:
Now you have a configuration for checking production activity on one or more Diap tags to approximate the state.
Start collecting data
When you have made your configurations in the Data source, then you need to start the event server for the configuration, so the data get collected.
Go to the Configuration->Data source status page:
Select your unit:
Click the switch for the event server with the configuration:
Then the light turns green and the Last run timestamp is updated, when your event server has run your configuration for the first time:
That it. Now your configuration are done and you are collecting data.
