18.2 JobInformationType

18.2.1 JobInformationType Definition

This ObjectType represents the data of the job. It is formally defined in Table 73.

The JobInformationType is abstract. A derived concrete type, which includes a method for writing the Properties, must be used (e.g. CyclicJobInformationType).

NOTE: A second subtype ContinuousJobInformationType will be added in the future.

18.2.2 JobName

The JobName Property represents the name of the job.

18.2.3 JobDescription

The JobDescription Property represents the description of the job.

18.2.4 CustomerName

The CustomerName Property represents the name of the customer for that the job is produced.

18.2.5 ProductionDatasetName

The ProductionDatasetName Property represents the name of the production dataset which is needed for the job.

18.2.6 ProductionDatasetDescription

The ProductionDatasetDescription Property includes an additional description of the production dataset which is needed for the job.

18.2.7 Material

The Material Property is an Array of material names used for the job.

18.2.8 ProductName

The ProductName Property is an Array of product names produced by the job. (More than one possible with multiple cavities)

18.2.9 ProductDescription

The ProductDescription Property is an Array of descriptions of the products produced by the job.

18.2.10 ContinueAtJobEnd

The ContinueAtJobEnd Property indicates if the machine continues the production even if the nominal output has been reached.

18.2.11 CyclicJobInformationType

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.

18.2.11.1 NominalParts

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

18.2.11.2 NominalBoxParts

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… .

18.2.11.3 ExpectedCycleTime

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

18.2.11.4 MouldId

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.

18.2.11.5 NumCavities

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

18.2.11.6 SetCyclicJobData

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

Input arguments are all Properties of the CyclicJobInformationType.

Signature

	SetCyclicJobData (
		[in]	0:String	JobName
		[in]	0:String	JobDescription
		[in]	0:String	CustomerName
		[in]	0:String	ProductionDatasetName
		[in]	0:String	ProductionDatasetDescription
		[in]	0:String[]	Material
		[in]	0:String[]	ProductName
		[in]	0:String[]	ProductDescription
		[in]	0:Boolean	ContinueAtJobEnd
		[in]	0:UInt64	NominalParts
		[in]	0:UInt64	NominalBoxParts
		[in]	0:Duration	ExpectedCycleTime
		[in]	0:String	MouldId
		[in]	0:UInt32	NumCavities);

When optional Properties in CyclicJobInformationType (e.g. NominalBoxParts) are not used, the arguments have to be empty or equal to zero.

18.2.11.7 RequestCyclicJobWrite

The Event RequestCyclicJobWriteEventType is used to initiate a call of the SetCyclicJobData Method by the client.
