4.8 Displaying Conveyor Width in Production Schedule

Boards of the same width should preferably be produced successively so that the frequency of

conveyor width adjustments can be reduced. For this, the Conveyor Width column can be added

to the recipe list in the Production Schedule.

Figure 4-12: Production Schedule – Conveyor Width column

This column is not displayed by default. To be visible, it has to be set on the Line Control GUI

under Application- Columns.

The recipes can be sorted according to the conveyor width within a group of recipes in the same

setup. For this, a new Sort columns button has been added to the command list for the recipes:

With this button, the Conveyor Width can be sorted in Descending or Ascending order.

The order of recipes in different setups will not be changed. The board orientation will be

considered when the conveyor width is calculated.

For recipes with multiple boards the sorting only considers the widest board. The sorting also

considers the conveyor lane of the recipes. The recipe on the right conveyor lane is considered

before the recipe on the left conveyor lane. Recipes produced on both conveyor lanes will be

sorted identically to recipes produced on the right conveyor lane.

Example of recipes sorted in ascending order

Recipe name Widest board of the recipe Conveyor lane on which the recipe is

produced

Recipe1 50 Right

Recipe2 50 Both

Recipe3 100 Right

Recipe4 100 Both

Recipe5 50 Left

Recipe6 100 Left

Table 4-2: Recipes sorted in ascending order

If sorted by descending conveyor width the order would be reversed.

The context menu of the Production Schedule grid will also be extended by a Sort columns

menu with the same submenus.

4.9 BOM Merger GUI – Improvements

The BOM Merger GUI has been improved to better suit customer needs. In the following the

improvements are presented.

Figure 4-13: BOM Merger

– At first, a board has to be selected. A list of placement lists referenced by that board will be

presented in a drop-down list. The user must select the desired placement list.

– With the new Create new copy of Board with this name option, a copy of the original board

will be created. This checkbox is enabled by default. The name field will be prepopulated with

an automatically generated name in the form Copy of <OriginalName>[<UniqueNumber>].

The user may rename the copy. The new copy of the board will be created in the same folder

as the original board. Copies will be made of all placement lists used by the board. These

copies will retain their names, but will be placed in a new folder in the same folder as the

selected placement list.

New controls for configuring the file format options have been added to the BOM File Format

Configuration dialog.

– Field and list delimiters can be defined for the BOM file. In some customer data the columns

are aligned in the text files so that they are human readable. For this reason, the BOM Merger

offers the Treat consecutive delimiters as one option. This option is available for all field

delimiters. For the SPACE and TAB-STOP field delimiters, the option will be automatically

detected and activated.

– The BOM Merger interprets a dash (-) and two consecutive dots (..) as names and not as range

delimiter symbols. These characters are disabled by default on the GUI. The user can enable

one of them or both as range delimiter characters.

– Additionally to lines beginning with the hash character (#), also lines beginning with two

consecutive slashes (//) will be interpreted as comment lines and ignored during import.

– The Reference Designator Column contains a list of names, separated by the selected list

delimiter character and cannot be configured.

– The BOM Merger will automatically save the selected delimiters and range indicators when the

application closes. At each start up, the last used preferences will be loaded.
