Automatic Track-In#
Overview#
This feature enables Automatic MES material Track-In to the current Resource.
Currently supported events Keys:
*50XPCBIDRequest * 602MachineEvent
How To Configure#
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 | |
| IoTMaterialOperations | Service | Yes | Service that handles Material Operations requests form equipment in MES |
How It Works#
When a event that is enabled to Track-In the material into the resource is received we will:
-
Check Conditions
- Wait for previous Track-Out (if enabled).
- Wait for recipe change completion (if enabled).
- When timeout is reached will continue.
-
Perform Track-In
- Trigger the configured PanaCIM event (usePanaCIMToTrackIn).
- Execute MES operation (ComplexTrackIn or ComplexDispatchAndTrackIn).
-
Optional Previous Track-Out
- If doPreviousTrackOut is true, the system tracks out the material from the previous station before completing Track-In.
The Controller will call MES DEE IoTMaterialOperation to handle the MES tracking operation.
Assumptions#
SmartTable IoTMetadataDefinition is configured, other than the general setup keys (check Setup for more information), with the following entries for each station:
| Resource | ResourceType | Area | Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MES PanaCIM Station X Resource | usePanaCIMToTrackIn | Supported Event String | Track In Material with the chosen event.See List at the top of this page. | ||
| MES PanaCIM Station X Resource | useWaitForPreviousTrackout | True | Activate wait for track-out to finish on previous PanaCIM module. | ||
| MES PanaCIM Station X Resource | useWaitIfRecipeIsBeingChanged | True | Activate wit for Recipe Change to finish. | ||
| MES PanaCIM Station X Resource | useWaitTimeout | True | Set max waiting time. (10 = 1000 ms) | ||
| MES PanaCIM Station X Resource | useTrackInOperation | True | MES Track-In operation to be performed on the current Material. ComplexDispatchAndTrackIn or ComplexTrackIn. Defaults to ComplexTrackIn if not defined. | ||
| MES PanaCIM Station X Resource | doPreviousTrackOut | True | Activate to enable tracking out from previous Resource before tracking into the current one. |
Notes on useWaitForPreviousTrackOut key:#
Due to reduced time interval between the machine output and the input of the next machine, the message 602 with code B01 (representing TrackIn) are eventually received before the Track-Out ending of the previous machine (see PP1 and PP2 example in the next picture). Setting key useWaitForPreviousTrackOut, the Controller will check if the previous machine has already performed the Track-Out:
- PP1 Track-Out will hold until Consumptions (551 Trace) ends.
- PP2 Track-In will hold until previous PP1 Track-Out ends.
In case of Traceability message not being received yet, and a Track-In message already received, the Controller will hold the Track-Out operation until it receives the Traceability massage, and then will hold the Track-In operation until this Track-Out performs.
