Reporting Downtime and Scrap to SFC H-13
Selecting Canned Names on the Dialog Fixed Name Choice Menu
When you select the SET CANNED NAMES item on the Set Communications Menu, the
Dialog Fixed Name Choice Menu (see Figure H-6) displays. This menu allows you to select
the “Canned” names that will appear on the Dialog Menu. “Canned” names are downtime
reasons whose text has already been programmed into the SmartPAC 2. You can select up to
14 of these pre-programmed entries for inclusion in the Dialog Menu.
You select a “canned” name by entering a sequence number to the right of the name’s text
entry. The sequence number specifies the position in which that item will appear on the
Dialog Menu. For example, in the screen shown in Figure H-6, the item LUBE PROBLEM
has a sequence number of 6 and, so, will appear sixth on the Dialog Menu. Since “special”
downtime reasons may also appear on the Dialog Menu, be sure to maintain the necessary
intervals in your “canned” name numbering scheme to accommodate these items.
To prevent a “canned” name from appearing on the Dialog Menu, set its sequence number to
0.
It is recommended that you include the following “canned” items in the Dialog Menu:
•
TOOL CHANGE–This downtime reason is logged to the Changeover Time machine state,
enabling SFC to track time for tool changes separately from other unplanned downtime and
create special Changeover reports. “Tool Change” is the only Unplanned Downtime reason
that is assigned to time when power to the press is off. Powering down the press is often
necessary during tool changeover.
•
BACK ON LINE–This selection enables the operator to end a downtime event. When
BACK ON LINE is selected, the machine state will change from “Unplanned Downtime,”
“Planned Downtime,” or “Changeover Time” to “Running Time” if the press is running or
from one of these “downtime” states to “Idle Time” if the press is stopped.
•
OPER. NUMBER–This “canned” name allows the operator to enter an operator number,
enabling SFC to assign a period of press time such as a shift to a particular operator.
