Load Feeder to Position#

Overview#

This feature enables the load of Consumable Feeds with Consumables to Station Position.

Relevant Artifacts#

The table below describes the properties for this entity type:

Name Type Is Mandatory Data Type Description
IoTMetadataDefinition SmartTable Yes Metadata configuration for equipment integration
IoTFujiNeximLoadComponents DEE Yes Its purpose is to Attach feeders from a specified MES resource

How It Works#

When a LOADCOMP event is received from a Fuji NXT III machine, the following steps are executed:

Area Feature Checks#

  • Resolves the MES Resource Name using FUJI_LineNameMachineNameModuleNo_.

Resource Feature Checks#

  • It checks whether the UseFujiToLoadComp feature is enabled for the MES Resource in IoTMetadataDefinition.

MES Operations#

If the feature is enabled, the Automation Controller calls the DEE IoTFujiNeximLoadComponents, passing:

  • The MES Resource Name
  • A list of components to be loaded, including their positions

The DEE:

  • Sets the Consumable Feed relations
    • If Material and Feeder already exist, they are attached to the corresponding Resource.
    • If not they are created during the transaction and then attached.
  • Updates the quantity of the consumables

Sends a LOADCOMP_ACK message back to the equipment, which includes:

  • A list of components
  • A result (0 (Ok) or 1 (NOk)) for each component
  • Remaining Floor Life time (if already started in MES)

Error Handling
If any component fails during the DEE operation, the entire set operation is considered failed.

Bypass Condition
If UseFujiToLoadComp is set to False or not defined, the DEE call is bypassed entirely.

Assumptions#

SmartTable IoTMetadataDefinition is configured with the following entry for each station:
