The SRO, the System Platform Equipment Model, and MES Entities

The SRO adds MES capabilities to the equipment-oriented application objects in your System Platform IDE equipment model. By adding an SRO instance below another application object instance in your equipment model, you are able to map and configure the System Platform IDE equipment model to the MES entity model.

Exporting the configured SRO instance into MES using the Entity Model Builder will create MES entities that are represented in your equipment model. These entities can be used to perform sample recording operations according to the SRO configuration. Exporting SROs to the MES database also provides an automated alternative to manually creating and configuring the entities in MES Web Portal or MES Client.
