Scope management

Under Line Control > Configuration , scopes are created and edited in the Scope Management tab.

The Scoping Concept for Line Control makes IAS Line Control fit for scalability. With this enhancement we delete the necessary step to redeploy the Line Control solution every time we want to migrate the next assembly line to IAS Line Control. Furthermore Line Control comes today with a highly complex deployment that is hard to understand and thus error prone which leads to broken installation and wrong behavior of the Line Control solution. The Scope configuration concept allows us to get rid of all of these mentioned points. The Scoping of the databases is a way to provide maximum scalability based on many database instances.

The scopes are listed in the Scope Management tab. The details area displays information about the connections and settings of the selected scope. The default scope is the scope defined by the Helm deployment. It’s Line Control database and Supermarket database are both default. And this scope can’t be deleted.

Enter the number of maximum NOK parts, the default number is 3. If the number of parts with NOK state higher than the defined limit, the whole group is considered NOK.
Enter the number of maximum scrap, the default number is 3. If the number of parts with Scrap state higher than the defined limit, the whole group is considered Scrap.
Use Save to create new scope.

The scope appears with the information in the Scope Management tab.

To delete the scope, continue with Delete scope

To delete the scope permanently, click Delete in the dialog window.

Type Data

In order to make use of timers and counters in Line Control, you need to specify timer and counter defintions. The timer and counter definitions are stored product related in the Module Nexeed IAS Setup Specs.

Line Control can be configured to replicate the necessary timer and counter specifications/definitions to its own databases so that these definitions can be used when Line Control serves the production line requests.

The configuration for this type data replication can be done in the section Type Data of the Scope Management Tab.

Products can be defined multiple times in Setup Specs. Line Control collects all timer and counter definitions from all configured areas and product families. If a timer or counter is defined multiple times in Setup Specs, the timer or counter definition that comes first in the sorting order is used.
