14.3.3.2 Line
Display and editing fields of the Line (left portion of the main window):
-
Name
Here, the name of the active Line is displayed. It is not possible to change the name.
-
Changing Barcode Filter
This barcode filter can be entered in the field "filter". The barcode determined via this filter is required
for allocating the PCB to a lot.
Only the digits "0" (not used) or "1" (valid) can be entered. The length of the entry is restricted to 25
characters.
●
Position the mouse pointer on the field Filter and enter the new filter on the keyboard.
●
Only upon clicking on the button Data transfer will the new filter values be transferred to the Line
Control.
☞
NOTE
If incorrect characters are entered, the corresponding editing field is displayed on the screen in a
red frame.
-
Changing Barcode Strategy
The active barcode strategy for the currently used Line is displayed under "Strategy".
Where the Barcode option is not installed, the "without barcode" strategy is displayed, which cannot
be changed.
●
Click on arrow button located next to "Strategy".
The dialog box "Barcode strategy" is opened.
●
Set the strategy in the dialog box by clicking on the appropriate field. You can select among the
barcode strategies "without barcode" and "with barcode" (see description section 14.3.1).
☞
NOTE
Only upon clicking on the button Data transfer will the new barcode strategy data be transferred to
the Line Control.
-
Entering Edited Data
The Data transfer button is used to send changes in conveyor width ("transport width") or barcode
strategies to the Line Control. Prior to this, a query is made as to whether the changes are possible. In
both cases it is prerequisite that the line be cleared beforehand.
●
Click on the Data transfer button.
A dialog box is displayed with the query "Line xx empty?".
●
Answer this query by clicking on Ok or Abort in the dialog box.
If "Ok" is clicked on it is assumed that the line is empty, and Line Control considers it as stopped.
If "Abort" is clicked on the action is aborted.
