9.7 Enforce Feeder Block

Starting from version 3.1, Feeder Manager provides the option to block the feeder from being

used and verified online and offline, when the feeder is either Defective, Overdue for

maintenance, or marked as Scrapped under Feeder Manager’s definition.

In order to make use of this feature, the user must first enable this option inside Feeder

Manager Client  Settings  Enforce Feeder Block. See below.

Figure 9-30 Enabling the Enforce Feeder Block Function

The user can choose to enable the Enforce Feeder Block at either online, offline, or both

locations.

NOTE

In order for this feature to function properly, user must first activate the “Feeder

External Control” option inside Setup Center’s Settings page. Otherwise, not only will

this feature not be available, there will also be unnecessary network traffics caused.

Once enabled, if any feeder of the above mentioned status is inserted to online or offline

locations, depending on user configuration, Setup Center will indicate the blocked status as

below. Subsequent Setup Verification with the feeders in question will fail to proceed.

For online station locations, if any Setup Verification attempt is made on such feeders, an

error message will be shown on the Station GUI to inform the user the reason of failed

verification as below.

Figure 9-32 Feeder Blocking Message as seen in Station GUI

NOTE

In Feeder Manager 3.1, the Enforce Feeder Block function is only available

when Setup Center is installed.

For online feeders which turn Overdue or being marked as Defective AFTER the starting of

production, there will be no warning / error issued by Feeder Manager until such feeders are

removed and inserted again. In other words, the checking of feeder blocking only happens

when problematic feeders or the COT that contains them are inserted.

In case when a feeder enters the defective, overdue status, if it is still within the Maintenance

Extension criteria defined by Feeder Manager, the user can still choose to extend its usage by

following the Maintenance Extension workflow. But once the extension is done, the feeder

must be removed and inserted again in order for the Blocked status to be reset. Otherwise the

Setup Verification will still fail on this feeder.
