Setup Verification Known Facts / Problems (General)

Version Description SIPLACE Setup Center 3.3

6.2.2 Setup Verification

 It is a requirement that feeders are not pulled out or switched during setup verification. To put it

differently, as long as setup verification takes place for a single track, the feeder and the

corresponding packaging units must remain in the same location.

 Urgent recommendation: when splicing a reel it must be verified immediately (refill mode). Otherwise

there is a danger of unverified components being placed when the pickup rates are extremely poor

and the threshold values are low. If no Splice sensors are installed the remaining quantity of a tape

running empty should be checked and corrected before splicing.

6.2.3 Partial Setup

Setup verification for partial setups at S feeders behaves differently than at X feeders because S feeders

don't have a feeder ID.

6.2.4 Quantity Management

 If the packaging unit is taken from the feeder, the information about the remaining level is lost or

unclear. It is no longer possible to monitor the quantities on the reels. If a reel that was in this setup

is then set up again, the user will need to manually correct the component level with the help of the

Component Level Indicator (CLI).

 If no packaging unit size is defined as barcode, the number of components as indicated in SIPLACE

Pro is used. Component shape quantity information from SIPLACE Pro will be ignored.

6.2.5 Feeders

 Refilling of a tray in a WPC / MTC always causes setting up. That means that the preceding

packaging unit is torn down and the just scanned packaging unit is set up.

6.2.6 SIPLACE Pro

 Setup Center references objects in SIPLACE Pro by names and is therefore unable to find them

again, if the names are subsequently changed.

 Case-sensitive SIPLACE Pro object names are retained in Setup Center, but case-sensitivity is not

relevant.

 In general, Setup Center doesn’t actively react to changes made in SIPLACE Pro. This means that

all actions like renaming, moving, changing objects are not tracked by Setup Center. After changes

have been made in SIPLACE Pro, Setup Center needs to reload the setups. In case of Online

Verification, Setup Center has to be restarted. In case of Offline Verification it is sufficient to close

and reopen the setup. Adding, deleting and changing a barcode to a component is recognized. Also

the renaming of lines in the line configuration is recognized and the Setup tears down.

6.2.7 Length of the Setup Names

 The length of setup names is limited to 20-50 characters for machines of the S, F, HS and HF series,

i.e. only the first 20 or 50 characters are looked at when there is a setup change.

Station software Max. length of setup names

407 20 characters exc. path

505 50 characters exc. path

605 / 703 / 704 255 characters inc. path

6.2.8 Special Characters

 Do not use characters with the hexadecimal codes [00 - 19; D800 - DFFF; FFFE; FFFF] for barcodes,

as these cannot be transferred to the machines.

6.2.9 Docking Station

 If the Docking Station is switched off, Setup Center must be re-started, so that the Docking Station

and Setup Center can synchronize correctly. The start of the Docking Station can last up at a minute.

Setup Center must not be started beforehand.

 A CAN Bus PCI Card is necessary to connect the docking station. This card enables you to connect

a maximum of 8 docking stations. The card supports 2 CAN busses so that 4 docking stations can

be connected to each bus. A maximum of one CAN Bus PCI Card per computer is possible.

 If the CAN Bus is not properly terminated, problems may arise when trying to connect.

6.2.10 Manual Barcode Input

 When the barcode is entered manually, registration of user barcodes (via Barcode Wizard) is not

supported.

6.2.11 Multiple Instances Setup Center

 Setup Center does not synchronize several running instances. The GUI is updated only when the

associated data is changed in the current instance of Setup Center. This happens most frequently if

for example one Setup Center instance is used in the pre-setup area and another one at the line.

The tables taken from offline to online are only updated in the Setup Center instance on the line.

 Offline setup data can be refreshed by closing and re-opening the offline setup verification.

6.2.12 Barcode Reader

 The Datalogic barcode readers can only show ASCII characters on their displays. This means that

all names that contain non-ASCII characters have difficulties in being displayed correctly.

 If a button is pressed on the Datalogic barcode reader when no receiver is present, this information

will not be transferred again. It is then necessary to press another button or scan a barcode to

reestablish the communication.

 Data transmission between base and reader is done at a frequency of 433 MHz. The maximum

distance between base and reader is 50 m (unobscured). It is possible to connect up to 32 scanners

to one base.

Restriction for the USA model:

The USA model works at 910 MHz with a maximum coverage of 30 m.

6.2.13 Management of Equipment

 Setup Center does not offer any GUI elements for managing equipment, for example changeover

tables or feeders.

NOTE:

It is recommended generally not to use special characters since it can cause

errors.

Barcode Fragment Known Facts / Problems (General)

Version Description SIPLACE Setup Center 3.3

6.2.14 Barcode Fragment

 The maximum length of a barcode fragment is 255 characters, except the barcode fragment ‘Unique

ID’ with 40 signs. The length is also restricted by the barcode reader type used, by the barcode code

(e.g. Code 3of9, EAN 128 etc.) and by the barcode contents. It is therefore impossible to give a fixed

length restriction.

 The first configured barcode of a barcode label must have a minimum length of 5 letters. It doesn't

matter whether it is divided on one fragment or several fragments.

6.2.15 Change in Behaviour - Locking Instead of Tearing Down

 In exceptional circumstances, it may happen that tracks on a station are locked by Setup Center but

that this locking state no longer persists in Setup Center so that the tracks cannot be unlocked

automatically.

In this case the locks can be synchronized with the station: Right-clicking on the relevant station

opens a menu in which the locks will be synchronized by left-clicking on the menu item

'Synchronizing locks'.
