18.4 ActiveJobValuesType

This ObjectType represents values of the active job. It is formally defined in Table 85.

18.4.1 JobStatus

The JobStatus Property represents the current status of the job.

The JobStatus is set by the machine/operator. This can be triggered by the methods StartJob, InterruptJob and FinishJob. The selection of the value JOB_IN_PRODUCTION_6 can be prevented by the client by setting ProductionReleased to FALSE (see 14.7.2).

18.4.2 StartJob

With this Method the client (e.g. MES) request the machine to change the JobStatus to JOB_IN_PRODUCTION_6. The following produced parts/products are counted for the job.

NOTE: The method does not change the MachineMode.

Signature

	StartJob ();

The method has no Input- or OutputArguments.

18.4.3 InterruptJob

With this Method the client (e.g. MES) requests the machine to change the JobStatus to JOB_INTERRUPTED_7. The following produced parts/products are not counted for the job.

NOTE: It is not fixed by this specification if the machine stops or continuous running.

Signature

	InterruptJob ();

The method has no Input- or OutputArguments.

18.4.4 FinishJob

With this Method the client (e.g. MES) requests the machine to change the JobStatus to JOB_FINISHED_8. If ContinueAtJobEnd (see 18.2.10) is FALSE, the machine stops. Otherwise a message to the operator shall be shown on the machine.

Signature

	FinishJob ();

The method has no Input- or OutputArguments.

18.4.5 CurrentLotName

The CurrentLotName Property represents the current production lot. Although the modelling rule is mandatory, the 0:String can be empty.

18.4.6 BoxId

The BoxId Property represents the Id of the box in which the current production is put in.

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

18.4.7 ActiveCyclicJobValuesType

Additional information on the running job for cyclic production (e.g. injection moulding) is stored in the ActiveCyclicJobValuesType. It extends the ActiveJobValuesType. It is formally defined in Table 90.

18.4.7.1 JobCycleCounter

The JobCycleCounter Variable represents the number of finished cycles in the job.

18.4.7.2 BoxCycleCounter

The BoxCycleCounter Variable represents the number of finished cycles for the current box.

18.4.7.3 MachineCycleCounter

The MachineCycleCounter Variable represents the number of finished cycles in the machine life time.

18.4.7.4 LastCycleTime

The LastCycleTime Variable represents the cycle time (duration in milliseconds) of the recently finished cycle.

18.4.7.5 AverageCycleTime

The AverageCycleTime Variable represents the average cycle time. The calculation starts from the last calling of ResetActiveJobAverageCycleTime.

18.4.7.6 JobPartsCounter, JobGoodPartsCounter, JobBadPartsCounter, JobTestSamplesCounter

These Variables represent the total number of produced parts and the numbers of good, bad and test sample parts in the current job.

18.4.7.7 BoxPartsCounter, BoxGoodPartsCounter, BoxBadPartsCounter, BoxTestSamplesCounter

These Variables represent the total number of produced parts and the numbers of good, bad and test sample parts in the current box.

18.4.7.8 LastPartId

The LastPartId Variable is an array and represents the Ids of the parts produced in the recently finished cycle.

18.4.7.9 StopAtCycleEnd

With this Method, the MES directs the machine to stop at the end of the current cycle.

Signature

	StopAtCycleEnd ();

The method has no Input- or OutputArguments.

18.4.7.10 ResetJobCounters

Method for setting the cycle and parts counters for the job to 0.

Signature

	ResetJobCounters ();

The method has no Input- or OutputArguments.

18.4.7.11 ResetBoxCounters

Method for setting the cycle and parts counters for the current box to 0.

Signature

	ResetBoxCounters ();

The method has no Input- or OutputArguments.

18.4.7.12 ResetAverageCycleTime

This Method initiates a new calculation of the average cycle time for the job.

Signature

	ResetAverageCycleTime ();

The method has no Input- or OutputArguments.
