Additional information on a job for cyclic production (e.g. injection moulding) are stored in the CyclicJobInformationType. It extends the JobInformationType. It is formally defined in Table 74.

The NominalParts Property indicates the total number (sum of all cavities) of parts that shall be produced by the job.

In some productions, the parts are placed in several boxes. The NominalBoxParts Property indicates the number of parts that shall be put into one box.

NOTE: A "box" can be any kind of container like stacking box, lattice box, bag… .

The ExpectedCycleTime Property indicates which cycle time is calculated for the job.

The MouldId Property represents the Id of the Mould used for the job.

NOTE: Although a machine can be equipped with several moulds, one job is always related to a single mould. This is why MouldId is not an array here.

The NumCavities Property indicates the number of cavities in the Mould used for production.

With this Method the MES sets the job data for cyclic jobs.

Input arguments are all Properties of the CyclicJobInformationType.
