The MachineModuleSpecificationType provides the specification of the machine module as currently operating including capabilities, internal buffers and loading points.
This MachineModuleSpecificationType is formally defined in the table below.
The Object Documentation is the sole repository for the machine module documentation resources. The Documentation is accessed, for example, by clients and HMIs.
LocationName
The Property LocationName of type String contains the location of the machine module within the user production site. The Property LocationName will contain the following: Country/City/Department/Floor/Bay/Position. LocationName and UserMachineName uniquely identify the machine module in the user organization.
MaterialLoadingPoints
The Property MaterialLoadingPoints identifies the loading points of the machine module and their capability in terms of what materials can be loaded at a loading point. The Property MaterialLoadingPoints is defined as a list of objects of type MaterialPointType.
MaterialOutputPoints
The Property MaterialOutputPoints identifies the output points of the machine module and their capability in terms of what materials can be output The Property MaterialOutputPoints is defined as a list of objects of type MaterialPointType.
MaterialRejectionPoints
The Property MaterialRejectionPoints identifies the rejection points of the machine module and their capability in terms of what materials are rejected The Property MaterialRejectionPoints is defined as a list of objects of type MaterialPointType.
MaterialStorageBuffers
The Property MaterialStorageBuffers describes the buffers inside the machine module and their current status. The Property MaterialStorageBuffers is a list of objects of type MaterialStorageBufferDataType.
TimeZone
The local time zone where the machine operates. It is required to convert UTC times into local time.
TotalRunningHours
The Property TotalRunningHours counts the number of hours the machine module has been in operation since the last time its configuration was changed. More specifically, time is counted when the machine module state is different from: Stopping, Stopped, Aborting, Aborted, Clearing.
UserMachineName
The Property UserMachineName of type String contains the name used by the user to identify the machine module. LocationName and UserMachineName uniquely identify the machine module in the user organization.
ValidSince
The Property ValidSince is the date since the configuration was last modified.
The components of the MachineModuleSpecificationType have additional subcomponents which are defined in the table below.
