3.2.1.5 PRODUCTION TOOLS Menu
- Optimization
Serves to open the user interface of Optimization. The user interface enables a lot file (= job for the
Optimization facility) to be created. The optimization process for such a lot file is started via the user
interface. When the optimization process is complete, the user can have the results displayed.
● Click on PRODUCTION TOOLS --> Optimization.
The Optimization user interface is opened (see chapt. 13).
- Feeder Editor
Serves to open the user interface of the Feeder Editor. The Feeder Editor is designed for the definition
of allocations between components/feeders or package form/feeders, as well as the definition of
restrictions in terms of "placeability" and possible combinations of components, feeders, stations,
feeder parts and options. It is possible to define both technological and user-defined constraints.
● Click on PRODUCTION TOOLS --> Feeder Editor.
The user interface of the Feeder Editor is opened (see chapt. 9).
- Restriction Editor
Serves to open the user interface of the Restriction Editor. The Restriction Editor is designed for the
definition of temporary restrictions related to a given production job (lot file).
● Click on PRODUCTION TOOLS --> Restriction Editor.
The FSB containing the files of all already-defined lot files is opened.
NOTE The further procedure to be followed is described in chapt. 10.
3.2.2 Main Groups
The central area of the desktop comprises one or three main groups, depending on the operating mode used.
In the control mode, only the "Control" group is available. In the programming mode, the "Product",
"Production Tools" and "Control" groups are provided.
The application programs contained in the main groups are started by clicking (single-click) on the respective
icons. Having been clicked on, every program opens a window with its own user interface.
The meaning and funcion of each icon contained in the "Control" main group is briefly explained in section
3.2.2.1.

NOTE
Since the meaning and functions of the applications (icons) contained in the "Product" and "Production Tools"
main groups are identical to the applications (menu options) of the "PRODUCT" and "PRODUCTION TOOLS"
menus, they were already briefly described in section 3.2.1.4 and section 3.2.1.5.
The name of an icon sometimes differs from the item on the menu having the same meaning and function
(e.g. icon "Component" -> menu item "Component Editor", icon "Package Form" -> menu item "Package Form
Editor", etc.).
A detailed description on the individual application programs is contained in the related chapters.
3.2.2.1 "Control" Group
The basic function of the line computer control system is to distribute jobs from the user or a higher-level CAX
system to the individual stations of the line. The control system organizes the data supply to the stations
throughout the line so that the jobs can be processed. Each job comprises a number of PCBs (lot).
- Icon Job = Job Control User Interface (see chapt. 14)
The user interface of Job Control allows the user to insert and edit jobs.
Job Control generates a job list. This list is stored in the job file and is managed by Job Control.
A check takes place in Job Control as to whether the product data required for a particular job are
available and whether the specific job can be executed on the line by means of the current set-up.
When all requirements have been met, the job can be passed to the Station Controller. Completed
jobs are passed back to Job Control.
- Icon Set-up modification = Set-up Modification User Interface (see chapt. 14)
With the aid of the user interface of the Set-up Modification Generator the user can have different
types of the set-up of each selected station displayed and activate the creation of set-up changeover
instructions via the Set-up Modification Generator. The set-ups and changeover instructions are dis-
played on the user interface of the Set-up Modification Generator and can be output on a connected
printer.
- Icon MaDaMaS = MaDaMaS - User Interface (see chapt. 16)
The
MaDaMaS
(Machine Data Management System) collects all data of a line and displays them
graphically via the user interface. It is thus possible for the user to obtain, at any time, an updated
status display of either an entire line or individual stations. This allows appropriate corrective actions
to be taken in the case of malfunctions, errors or work load imbalances.

- Icon Errors = Error Signalling System User Interface (see chapt. 15)
The error messages are classified into informative messages for the observation of the system, error
messages not entailing any danger for the overall system, and warning messages. Depending on the
individual requirements of the user, he can select from the different message types the message he
needs and can have this message displayed on the user interface of the error signalling system.
3.2.3 Line Selection Button and Display Area
3.2.3.1 Line Selection Button
Above the view area the line selection button is located indicating the designation of the current line (see Fig.
3.1.1). If the button is clicked on, a new line can be selected, provided several lines were configured upon
installation
- Selection of a new line
● Click on the Line Selection button.
The FSB for the selection of a new line (see example below) is opened.
● Select <Name>.ak of the desired line by double-clicking.
The FSB is closed. The most recently displayed line is deleted from the display area, and the
stations of the newly selected line are displayed symbolically in the display area after a few
moments.
