MPR DATA -
The optional MPR Data menu item is designed for use with
M&R's exclusive Management Production Report software
package. A detailed logging builds a data base, which may
be used for cost analysis, job tracking, production volume
reporting, press utilization and down time analysis. The MPR
Data report filters, compiles and formats this data for output
to any compatible computer. MPR Data contains three sub-
menu items which are "Job No.", "Message", and
"Production Speed Trend". The "Message Code" is a code
number which describes a reason for which down time
occurred during a shift. You may for instance, select code 1
for set-up time, or code 20 for lunch or dinner breaks. To use
the "MPR Data" menu, press the "MPR Data" key.
The display will read "Job number" and "Message Code".
(See Figure 26 at the right) As you access the "MPR DATA"
menu, the numerical value for "Job number" will automati-
cally start to flash. Now, using the numerical keys, enter the
desired Job No., then press the "ENTER" key. Press the
"ARROW RIGHT" key to access the "Message code" indi-
cation.
Based on your pre-determined Message and Error code list-
ing, enter the corresponding code number, then press the
"ENTER" key. Your selections are now saved in the PLC
memory.
The next menu item is "SERVICE DATA". This menu item is
used by M&R Technical Support Personnel ONLY and can-
not be accessed by the system Operator. This menu item
creates and stores in the PLC memory a complete opera-
tional history of the system.
DATE/TIME
The next menu item is "DATE/TIME". In this menu item you
may adjust the on-board clock and calendar for the proper
display. The date is displayed as day of the week, month of
the year, date and year. To adjust the date, press the numer-
ical keys for the month. For example, for January 12, 1998,
first press the "0" key, then press the "1" key. The display
will change to "01" for the month indication. For the date
press first the "1" key, then press the "2" key. The display
will read "12" for the date indication. (See Fig. 27 at the right)
