component databases and in the PPS component database and, when needed,
in the Part Information Manager.
The Part Information Manager has some fields that are not used by Gemline
optimizer/generator. Instead the equivalent data in the Component Database
of Gemline PPS is used. Since the data in the Component Database comes from
the machine the data is easy to maintain.

3.4.5 Tray components
GemLine machines are available in many configurations. The example machine
configurations are not always sufficient. In particular it might be necessary to
add to the ALE file information of the type of feeders available.
In the *.ale file the tray has to be defined. The component has to be defined
in the *.con file. In the *.ale file the banks have to be defined also,
depending on what kind of tray is used.
NOTE: Refer to Manual “Description ALE-file 12nc: 4022 591 98715” for Tray Defi-
nition, ATS and LCS definitions
3.4.5.1 Different CON files for Tray definitions
In Gemline PPS trays are most easily set up using the manual optimization
setting, which allows you to move the tray into the correct position using the
PPS-Pro graphical editor (MDF). After optimization the tray set-up is reported
back the Pro using the *.con file. If you want to use automatic optimization a
tray component must be fixed on the machine before optimization is started.
This is done using a *.con file as input to the optimization.

Guidelines for using PPS-Pro
When a tray component is assigned to a GEM machine, the optimizer will
initially fail if the tray is not defined in the ALE and CON file. A CON file is
created where the specific part is defined.
An example (see SCREEN 74 "Gemline Pre-assigning a Tray" on page 126) a of
a *.CON file for a GEM machine where Tray components are defined.
To specify the fixed set-up to be used, the *.con file to be used for the
GemLine machines has to be defined in PPS-Pro.
To do this, the *.con file must be added to the optimize settings of the line.
On the optimize line tab. select settings. From the settings select machines.
In the setup file field click on the “. .. ” button. Select use existing set-up
and select the set-up file to use.

3.4.6 Multistick components
When you use multisticks, the easiest way to setup the feeder configuration is
to setup these feeders in the PCB Editor Multistick Editor. To do this run the
optimization in manual mode.
Refer to chapter 3.4.14 "Optimize Manually" and refer to the Gemline PPS User
Manual (“Optimize Manually” and “Multi Stick Feeder Assignment”.

3.4.7 Pre-assigning MultiStick feeders and TTF feeder
■ Description: When a Pre Assignment (CON file) from a previous calculation
is used for feeder-types: Multistick and TTF (Twin Tape Feeder), the RTB or
LineBalancer results in a warning 32 : “Feeder type cannot be matched to
the feeder bank” and the ‘fixed’ component is moved to other surface
mount equipment. In the created CON file the names of the feeders are not
the same. For example TTF_08 becomes S00:TTF_08 to show that the S00
multistick layout should be used for this feeder setup.
■ Advice: Modify the ALE-file:
1. Make duplicate of TTF, called "S00:TTF_08" and add it to all Gemline
related feederbanks.
2. Make duplicates of Multistick feeders (also WideMultistick and Stick-A,
etc...) with the appropriate prefixes "Sxx:" and add these to the feed
-
erbanks of all Gemline machines.
In GemLine: ITF_FeederTypesOfi.txt file: Add copies of the TTF_08 and all
other multilane feeders with the appropriate "Sxx:" prefixes. Make sure the
copies are added below the original, because the first FeederType name with
the same number will be used to write back to the CON-files.
