This topic explains how to complete the Production Run tab when editing an item in the equipment hierarchy.
The Production Run tab allows you to automatically collect production run times and materials.
1. Select the Production Run tab.
2. Select the method for collecting production run times:
● Inherit Production Run Information from Equipment: Select another piece of equipment from the drop-down list. Production run information will now be copied from that equipment.
● Manual Data Entry: The operator will enter production run times in Data Collect during runtime.
● Start/Stop Production Run based on Machine State: Collect production run information automatically as follows.
a. Select the Modes and States that will start and stop the production run.
b. Select a default material that will be used in all production runs or use a mapping list to select a tag that will specify the material being produced.
The link to the equipment tags that specify the equipment mode and status must be made in the Downtime tab.
3. Enable Create new production run on shift change if you want to create a new production run when the shift changes and a production run is in progress.
4. Enable Retrieve Counter from Automatic Data Collection if you want the production amount to be collected automatically. If it isn't enabled the value will need to be entered in the production run in Data Collect during runtime.
The link to the equipment tags that specify the counters must be made in the Counters tab.
