Production run tag columns

Namespace

This is a required property.

This is the namespace used to identify the piece of equipment this production run tag applies to.

Name

This is a required property.

This is the name of the piece of equipment.

Note: The piece of equipment specified by the Namespace and Name properties must already exist in the model. Equipment is defined by importing equipment CSV model files.

Trigger Production Run

This is a required property.

This property is used to identify the tag used to trigger a query to retrieve values for all the tags that define production run properties for a start or used to stop a production run.

• The referenced tag can be string (True/False), discrete, integer (1/0), and decimal (1.0/0.0).

• For integer or decimal tag values any value greater than or equal to 1 will be considered as start.

  Note: It is strongly recommended that you use only tags with a data change trigger, and not a periodic trigger. This optimizes system throughput and minimizes unnecessary queries.
  When the provided tag transitions from False to True to start a production run, the remaining tags that define the production run must already have their values in the system.

Planned Quantity

This is a required property.

This is a production run property. This property is used to define the tag representing the planned number of produced items for this production run on this piece of equipment.

Planned Duration In Millisec

This is an optional property.

This is a production run property. This property is used to define the tag representing the planned duration (in milliseconds) of the production run on this piece of equipment. If no tag is defined, the default value is 0.

Rate Quantity

This is an optional property.

This is a production run property. This property is used to define the tag representing the ideal production run rate for this production run on this piece of equipment. For example, in a rate of 50 bottles per minute, this tag represents the 50.

The default value is defined in the efficiency model for this piece of equipment.

Rate UOM

This is an optional property.

This is a production run property. This property is used to define the tag representing what UOM to use when calculating the ideal production rate on this piece of equipment. For example, in a rate of 50 bottles per minute, this tag represents the bottles.

The default value is defined in the efficiency model for this piece of equipment.

Rate Time

This is an optional property.

This is a production run property. This property is used to define the tag representing what rate time to use when calculating the ideal production rate on this piece of equipment: per second, per minute, or per hour. For example, in a rate of 50 bottles per minute, this tag represents the per minute.

• The referenced tag must be a string with a value of units/sec, units/min, or units/hour.

The default value is defined in the efficiency model for this piece of equipment.
