Creating Lines
Lines are groups of LIW hoppers that work together to produce a product. For XC-3 Multi-Layer
Yield Control using the G2 Yield Screen, one or more LIW hoppers must be part of a Line for the
Yield Screen to be able to control that Line.
To enter a line, click “Edit”, then “Lines” in the Client menu. Enter a Line Name. Next click
position 1 in the Blenders column (highlights yellow). Select a Blender from the list of active
blenders. The Blender ID moved into the column. Click position 2 in the Blenders column and
click the next active blender from the list. Do this for each LIW Hopper in the Line. When
complete, click Add/Update.
After a Line has been created, selecting the Line from the list will display
Line Rules . Line Rules
refer to how the Yield screen will react to adjustments. The Line Rules will default to the choices
below, however they may be adjusted to suit your process. After making changes to the Line
Rules, click Add/Update to save the rule changes.
MGF Offset to LIW
If there is an MGF Feeder that is part of the
line and is introducing material after the LIW,
then the MGF percentage can be set to
offset the LIW's layer total to maintain the
total throughput of the Line. To enable MGF
Offset select the checkbox MGF Offset. An
offset field will be added to the Yield Control
Screen where a percentage may be entered
to offset the layer total throughput by this
percent. This feature can be used for
machine that do not communicate with G2 as
long as the percent of material is known.
To associate the MGF with an LIW select the
LIW in the left column (highlights in yellow).
Then in the MGF Offset Column select one
or two MGF's that would be associated with
this LIW. When selected, the MGF will
highlight in yellow. Do this for each LIW that
has a corrosponding MGF. Note: MGF's
must be added to G2 as Machine type MGF
to be recognized as an MGF. When
complete click Add/Update.
