The MaterialLocationTypeObjectType describes locations where material is stored around a machine module.
Examples of such locations are the designated areas on the floor where materials are delivered for consumption or where material produced by the machine is waiting to be collected. When the location where the material is stored is integral part of the mechanics or controls of the machine, the location shall be modelled as a MaterialStorageBuffer.
The MaterialLocationType representation in the AddressSpace is formally defined in the following table.
When True, material sublots or carriers can be stored in the material location. It is set by the underlying system to make the material location available for receiving.
CanSend
When True, material sublots or carriers can be removed in the material location. It is set by the underlying system to make the material location available for sending.
Carriers
The Carriers folder provides carriers that are stored in the material location.
Sublots
The Sublots array of MaterialSublotType provides carriers that are stored in the material location.
ID
The unique identifier for the material location.
MES_ID
The unique identifier of the material location according to a higher-level system, e.g. MES or ERP.
State
The state the material location is in.
StateMachine
The state machine describing the state and transitions of the material location.
UIInfo
The visualization resources to display the MaterialLocationType on the User Interface.
