Guidelines for using PPS-Pro
3.8.1 Pre-assign tracks in a con file
SCREEN 85 Pre-assigning Multi Track feeders
NOTE: Pos 1 (left and right) as well as pos 49 and 50 (left and right) cannot be
used by trays. Position 1 will be used for calibration and position 49 and 50
can not be reached by the lift mechanism of the ACM.
3.8.2 Application of FeederBars
FeederBartypes 1-5 are all used only on FCM I machines whereas
FeederBar_ITF is used only on FCM- II, FCM-MF and FCM-XM machines.
NOTE: The relationship feeder – FeederBar is provided in the ALE file. (The example
provided states which feeders fit on a particular FeederBar.) Furthermore
note that FeederBar4 is designed as a fixed FeederBar for the WVM module
(on a FCM-I machine).
3.9 Pre-assign trays
Tray pre-assignments are possible by using .con files.

NOTE: Do not run the ‘Line Scheduler’ with these .con files since it cannot handle
the track records. Use the Run Time Balancer instead.
Tray component heights do not have an influence on the chosen position. So
thick trays can be assigned on adjacent positions. It is advised to run the
optimization in such a case with a pre-assignment and optimizer setting
‘From MDF’.
