OCO configuration

When configuring OCO templates and instances, you define operation and production attributes and commands for objects that will be entities in the MES database.

When you open an OCO template or instance for editing in the System Platform IDE Object Editor, the following tabs include the OCO-specific object attributes and commands:

General

Job execution and other entity capability settings, and the event response type setting. Selecting the entity capability options makes the other OCO-specific tabs visible in Object Editor.

Job Defaults

Default property attributes for an entity with restrictions to control the behavior of jobs that are running on the entity.

Job Execution

Attributes for specifying the details of a job to be run on an entity, such as the work order and operation IDs, and commands to specify the action to be performed on the entity when the job is run.

Create Job Attributes

Job attributes and triggering commands for creating a job or work order from an existing process.

Production Counters

Attributes for specifying counters to track the production of items at entities.

Consumption Counters

Attributes for specifying counters to track the consumption of items at entities.

Storage Execution

Attributes for specifying how to store items that are produced or consumed while executing a job.

Inventory Transfer

Attributes and commands for specifying how to receive items at an entity or to transfer items between entities.

Specifications

Attributes and commands for configuring and executing job specifications that have been created in the MES database using MES Client.

PEM Attributes

Attributes and commands for using the Production Events Module (PEM) functionality in the OCO to monitor, report, and analyze production history and genealogy for lots, batches, and serial numbers without having to define the full MES model.
