  • WorkStarted
  • UnitsArrived
  • UnitsInspected

IoTMetadataDefinition Resource Level Configuration#

At the Resource level, there are several configuration we can make to set this feature.

Resource Resource Type Area Name Value Description
MES IPC-CFX Resource useIPCCFXToTrackIn Supported Event Name Enable Track-In operation with the event defined.
MES IPC-CFX Resource maxTransactionIDEntries 100 Maximum number of pairs Transaction ID/Primary Identifier which will be saved in persistency.
MES IPC-CFX Resource createTransactionIDonMessage WorkStarted Event used to store the Transaction ID/Primary Identifier pair. (Currently Only WorkStarted is supported)
MES IPC-CFX Resource useWaitForPreviousTrackout SMT_Printing Enable wait (max 5 seconds) validation for the Previous Resource (Value).
MES IPC-CFX Resource useTrackInOperation ComplexTrackIn MES Track-In operation to be performed on the current Material. ComplexDispatchAndTrackIn or ComplexTrackIn. Defaults to ComplexTrackIn if not defined.

How It Works#

CFX.Production.WorkStarted Event from IPC-CFX standard.

In the Event message we will retrieve the Primary Identifier, which will identify the MES Material we will Track-In into the current Resource.

If set to WorkStarted, we will save the Transaction ID and Primary Identifier in a queue, for use in other events that don't have the Primary Identifier defined.

CFX WorkStarted Example 
{
    "$type": "CFX.Production.WorkStarted, CFX",
    "PrimaryIdentifier": "MaterialName",
    "TransactionID": "4f4e8320-43e9-4d94-88dc-d81318bb06d8",
    "Lane": null,
    "UnitCount": 0,
    "Units": []
}

CFX.Production.UnitsArrived Event from IPC-CFX standard.

In the Event message we will retrieve the Primary Identifier, which will identify the MES Material we will Track-In into the current Resource.

CFX UnitsArrived Example 
{
"PrimaryIdentifier": "MaterialName",
"UnitCount": 2,
"Units": [
        {
        "UnitIdentifier": "CARRIER5566",
        "PositionNumber": 1,
        "PositionName": "CIRCUIT1",
        "X": 50.45,
        "Y": 80.66,
        "Rotation": 0.0,
        "FlipX": false,
        "FlipY": false
        },
        {
        "UnitIdentifier": "CARRIER5566",
        "PositionNumber": 2,
        "PositionName": "CIRCUIT2",
        "X": 50.45,
        "Y": 80.66,
        "Rotation": 90.0,
        "FlipX": false,
        "FlipY": false
        }
    ]
}

CFX.Production.UnitsArrived Event from IPC-CFX standard.

In the Event message we will identify the material name through the UniqueIdentifier of the first Inspected Unit.

The Controller will call MES service api/IoTUtilities/IoTMaterialOperation who will handle the MES tracking operation.

IoTMaterialOperation service signature

The input object IoTMaterialOperationInput contains the following information:

Name Type Description
Operation String MES operation to be performed on the current Material.
Resource Resource Resource where the validation should take place
Material Material Material to which perform the Tracking operation
Materials MaterialCollection Collection of Materials to which perform the Tracking operation

The output object IoTMaterialOperationOutput contains the following information:

Name Type Description
MaterialName String Material name
