7.2.5 SIPLACE Pro
The station-wise download of SIPLACE Pro is not supported.
The barcode modus of SIPLACE Line Control 2.x is not supported.
SIPLACE Pro 4.0 is not supported by Setup Center 2.3.
Setup Center references objects in SIPLACE Pro by names and is therefore unable to find them
again, if the names are subsequently changed.
The names of SIPLACE Pro objects in Setup Center are case-sensitive. Always observe the correct
case!
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 having
done changes 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. In case of renaming of lines the line configuration must be modified in the
setting dialog. Currently, only change that is actively recognized is the addition of a barcode to a
component.
SIPLACE Pro Server Selection Tool The SIPLACE Pro Server Selection Tool does not support
SIPLACE Pro 4.1 and higher.
7.2.6 Length of setup names
The length of setup names is limited to 20-50 characters, i.e. only the first 20 or 50 characters are
looked at when there is a setup change.
7.2.7 SMV
Do not use special characters [ \ / : * ? „ < > | ] for the names of setups, lines and stations, as SMV
is unable to process these. SMV interface is used in the machines of the S-, F-, HS- and HF-Series.
7.2.8 Docking Station
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.
Stationssoftware Max. length of setup names
407 / 503 20 characters excluding path data
408 / 505 / 601 / 604 50 characters including path data
NOTE:
We recommend entering a unique setup name in SIPLACE Pro. Otherwise a setup change is
not recognized by Setup Center.
NOTE:
The station name must be unique within a line. The line name must be unique throughout the
TraceHost system.

Known Facts / Problems (General) Manual barcode input
36 Software Version Description SIPLACE Setup Center 2.3
7.2.9 Manual barcode input
When the barcode is entered manually, registration of user barcodes (via Barcode Wizard) is not
supported.
Log on of changeover tables at the docking station is not supported.
7.2.10 Multiple instances of 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 could happen 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 Verification.
7.2.11 Barcode Scanner
The DataLogic Dragon barcode reader can only show ASCII characters on its display. This means
that all names that contain non-ASCII characters have difficulties in being displayed correctly.
It is not possible to actively send data to the DataLogic Dragon Barcode Scanner. Only when an
action (scanning, pressing of button, etc.) occurs is it possible to send an answer.
Data transmission between base and scanner is done at a frequency of 433 MHz. The maximum
distance between base and scanner is 50 m (unobscured). It is possible to connect up to 32 scanners
to one base.
7.2.12 Management of Equipment
Setup Center does not offer any GUI elements for managing equipment, for example changeover
tables or feeders.
7.2.13 Supplier Barcode
Supplier barcodes must not have the same name as another component in the programming system.
If this is the case, setup verification for the track may fail, when the packaging unit is reused.
7.2.14 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 scanner 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.
When the first character of the fragment is a number 1, 2, 3 or 4 the length of the barcode must have
a minimum of 5 characters
7.2.15 Closing Setup Center
Setup Center can not be closed when in online mode. The program will be automatically restarted if the
user tries to close it in this mode. However, it may sometimes be necessary to shut the program down
completely (patches, installation of SIPLACE Pro components, etc.).
The program can be shut down as follows:
Press the key combination CTRL+SHIFT+ESC (or CTRL+ALT+DEL and select the Task Manager)
Go to the menu entry „Processes“, select „SetupCenter.exe“ and click on the „End Process“ button.
Confirm your entry in the following security query.
Alternatively, you can disable the „Online Verification“ option in the settings dialog, which will close Setup
Center normally.
