- Support Level
o
Comprehensive Training
: Using Best Practices supplements Yaskawa’s product
training, allowing the skills learned to become better utilized.
o
Transferable Skills
: Using best practices across multiple machine designs,
reduces risk by taking advantage of architecture knowledge acquired on previous
designs.
o
Common Look and Feel
: Using commonly defined, standardized methods will
make the system easier to support when the machine is in production. Tech
support engineers can leverage the same best practices. Maintenance and
troubleshooting become easier on a global basis. MP Best Practices is not
meant to replace open standards, but rather to compliment standards such as
OMAC PLC OPEN “function blocks for motion control”.
