RequestProductionDatasetListEventType

Defined in 20.4.3

The Object ProductionDatasetLists can fire an Event RequestProductionDatasetList to initiate a call of SendProductionDataList by the MES.

This Method is used to read a list from the server which production datasets are available on the machine's file system (e.g. for a check before an activation or transfer of a production dataset is initiated). The NameFilter and MouldId can be used to reduce the length of the list or for a targeted search.

Signature

GetProductionDatasetList (

[in]0:StringNameFilter

[in]0:StringMouldId

[out]ProductionDatasetInformationType[]ProductionDatasetList);

Table 109 – GetProductionDatasetList Method Arguments

Argument

Description

NameFilter

The Filter can be used to reduce the length of the list or for a targeted search. The wildcards "*" and "?" may be used.

NameFilter = "" requests a lists of all available production datasets, NameFilter = "300" requests only information on the production dataset with ProductionDatasetName "300" (if available), NameFilter = "3*" requests information on production datasets with a ProductionDatasetName starting with "3" (e.g. "300", "301", …).

MouldId

If MouldId <>"" only production datasets for the given MouldId are requested.

ProductionDatasetList

Array of ProductionDatasetInformationType (see 20.4.4) describing the available production datasets on the server.

It is possible to call the Method without an InputArgument (length of the array ProductionDatasetList is zero) as an answer to the Event RequestProductionDatasetList (see below) if no production dataset which fits the NameFilter and/or MouldId transferred with the event is available.

The Object ProductionDatasetLists can fire an Event RequestProductionDatasetListEventType to initiate a call of SendProductionDatasetList by the client. This can for example be triggered by an operator who wants to load a production dataset not existing on the server.

The MouldFilter and MouldId parameters which can be used to reduce the length of the list or for a targeted search is used in the same way as in the Method GetProductionDatasetList defined in 20.4.1.

This structure provides information on a production dataset. It does not contain the production dataset file itself.

Name

0:String

Name of the production dataset (=identifier).

Description

0:String

Additional description of the production dataset.

MESId

0:String

Id of the production dataset file assigned by MES.

CreationTimestamp

0:DateTime

Time when the production dataset was originally created or saved with a new name (in UTC time).

LastModificationTimestamp

0:DateTime

Time of the last modification of the production dataset (in UTC time).

LastSaveTimestamp

0:DateTime

Time when the production dataset was saved to the file system of the machine (in UTC time).

UserName

0:String

Name of the user who has made the last parameter change on the machine.

Components

0:UInt16[]

Informs for which machines information is included in the file. The possible values are defined in Table 115. If the production dataset contains information for two machines of the same types, the enumeration value is repeated. Example: The production dataset contains information for 1 injection moulding machine and 2 robots: Components = [0 1 1].

These Properties are representing the values stored in the MachineInformation at the time the production dataset file is created.

These Properties are in analogy with the Properties in the JobInformationType. MouldId and NumCavities are optional in the derived CyclicJobInformationType, so here empty 0:Strings / value zero are possible.
