Configuring the Utilization Control

When you use the Utilization control in a System Platform symbol, you can associate the Button Bar control with it. For more information, see Associating the Button Bar Control with Other Controls.

The operator can use the Utilization control to:

• Enter a new machine reason for the selected machine.

• Refresh the utilization control.

• Enter a final reason for the utilization record.

• Switch the active user.

• Start a data entry job.

• Split a utilization record.

• Open or launch a form, if the Path to Form Program system parameter is set.

This control corresponds to the Util/OEE tab of the MES Operator application. For more information, see the Util/OEE Tab section in the MES Operator Guide or online help.
