2.5.5 Optimizer
Based on which products are registered one or more of the optimizers can be
selected in this tab
(see SCREEN 14 on page 21). If all possible products are
registered and installed then there are five balancing options:
■ Run Time Balancer: Single product, one line.
■ Board Scheduler: Single product, one machine.
■ Line Scheduler: This is an older product which will be replaced by the Line
Balancer. Multiple products, one line. Optional available via Tecnomatix.
■ No Optimizer: Multiple products, one line (always optimize from MDF).
■ Line Balancer: Multiple products, one line. Optional available via
Tecnomatix.

NOTE: If only one cell is used containing Assembléon Machines it is not necessary
to use one of the line optimizer and the Line optimizer type “No Optimizer”
can be used.

tab in the main program. In the Line combobox, a line can be selected. All
lines which are defined in the selected ALE-file are represented in this
combobox. In the
Units combobox, a choice can be made which unit will be
used during the project.
NOTE: This Units setting does not influence the units in Action Specs/Placement
Program.
It is possible to associate PSI and ALE files with particular projects. This is
found in the Project Settings dialog, and could be especially useful for
contract manufacturers who maintain customer-specific ALE and PSI files.
If specific ALE and/or PSI files are selected in this dialog, they will always be
used for this particular project, regardless of what settings are defined using
the standard PPS-Pro Preferences.
NOTE: Note that this capability is only available when running from within a PPS-
Pro project. Applications that are run "standalone" will use the cbprefs
settings.
