Portal > SmartBuild > Advanced

The Advanced tab serves as a single location where all the components created in SmartBuild are gathered and categorized to be easily located, viewed, and in some instances created as well. Components can have their editable parameters viewed and changed in the Details pane. The relationships between a component and other components in PINpoint can be viewed and easily understood using the Relations pane.

Figure 210: Advanced tab

Advanced Page Panes

The tab is divided into three panes: Components, Details, and Relations.

Components Pane

The Components pane displays the components categories and arranges compo­nents in logical hierarchies based on their dependencies (for example, a Station Con­figuration is nested under its Station, which is itself nested under its Line, with Lines nested under the Plant).

While most components are typically created and configured in other tabs of Smart­Build, a wide variety of components can not only be viewed and edited in the Advanced tab, but created in it as well. In a few cases, the Advanced tab is the only place certain components can be created.

Components are organized into the following categories:

•Plant: principally organizes the Lines, Stations, BigScreens, and general Events, though can also contain other components.

•Data Managers: organizes the Data Managers in the system. This is the place in which Data Managers are created in PINpoint Portal.

•Operations: organizes Operations available for use by Process Steps.

•Devices: organizes devices available to Stations and BigScreens for the input and output of data, and controllers to manage those devices.

•Organization: organizes Global Settings for PINpoint, external email-to-text providers, and the Custom Contextual Data used by PINpoint Tracking. This is the place in which Custom Contextual Data is created in PINpoint Portal.

•Process Steps: organizes all the Process Steps created in PINpoint.

•Products: organizes all the Products built in PINpoint, the Process Steps involved in building them, and the Stations at which they are built.

•Reasons: organizes the Reasons used in the system to apply to problems in pro­duction and to organize Andon reports into time loss buckets. This is the place in which Reasons are created in PINpoint Portal.

•Notifications: organizes the Notifications used in the system to alert designated people via Stations, BigScreens, text, email, and other devices of certain Events in production.

•Unlinked Components: organizes components which have been created in PINpoint but are not currently linked to other components in a process.

Figure 211: Components pane

Details Pane

The Details pane provides information on the settings of the parameters of the cur­rently-selected component. In addition, it enables you to make changes to those parameters and save those changes.

Figure 212: Details pane

Relations Pane

The Relations pane shows the relationships between the currently-selected compo­nent and other components which have either a parent or child relationship to it in the PINpoint system. This is particularly useful for components that can be reused and have numerous independent relationships with other components.

Figure 213: Relations pane

Advanced Page Definitions

The following definitions summarize concepts you will encounter in this section.

Table 34: Advanced page definitions

Copying and Pasting

One of the most useful functions of the Advanced tab is the ability to copy a compo­nent and all of its subcomponents and paste a copy of them, or a link to them, into the hierarchy of another appropriate component. For example, a Station and all of its Andon collateral and Process Steps can be copied and pasted as a copy in all respects into another Line, saving the trouble of setting up an essentially identical Station every time (note that the exception is that Input Sources attached to Fastening Steps are not copied, in order to prevent the user from accidentally linking an Input Source to a wrong station.

Figure 214: Copy and Paste in Advanced tab

Using the Paste as Link option links the object to another component. In this case, no actual copied components are created.

Removing Components

Most components can be removed from a hierarchy in which they currently reside. If all the relationships a component has are removed, that component will be located in the Unlinked Components folder (see Heading3).

To remove a component from a hierarchy, follow these steps.

1.Right-click the component and select Remove Item....

Figure 215: Select Remove Items...

The Remove Items dialog opens. The relationship is selected by default, but all the other relationships of the item are also available for selection, if desired.

Figure 216: Remove Items dialog with relationship pre-selected

2.Ensure that all the relationships you want to remove the component from are selected and click OK. The component is removed from the indicated relation­ship(s). If all relationships were selected, the component can be found in the Unlinked Components folder.

Plant Folder

The Plant hierarchy principally organizes the Lines, Stations, BigScreens, and general Events, though can also contain other components.

In addition, right-clicking the Plant icon provides the user with the ability to directly create and configure a wide variety of components.

The Data Manager is a Windows service that manages communication between the physical world and client applications. The Data Manager has three main modules:

•Device Manager: provides a communication layer between TCP/IP, and OPC devices using Device specific drivers (e.g., Open Protocol Tools, PLCs, Stack Lights, Tester Devices, PINpoint BigScreens, etc.).

•Event Manager: routes inbound events from client applications to various sub­systems both internal and external.

•Tracking Manager: informs the Client Application what product to build, and informs subsystems with updates from the Client concerning the progress of the product assembly. The Tracking Manager is designated by supplying the value 32000 to the attribute Tracking Client Connection Port in the manager’s Details.

Organization — Custom Contextual Data

Contextual Data can be attached to a Product to follow it through the life cycle of its production. It can be useful in advising workers along the way of specific condi­tions that will apply to a particular instance of a Product. For example, a Work Order might specify the production of two identical engines, but the Contextual Data attached to one engine might designate it is destined for Germany, while the Contex­tual Data attached to the other might designate it is destined for Egypt. This context could imply different testing standards for each engine at the end of its production. The ability to include this Contextual Data spares a facility from having to create a different copy of every product with such differences.

Process Steps — Trigger Operation

The Trigger Operations folder gathers and makes available for editing the Trigger Operations of a Process Step. It also enables you to create the OPC Tag Item Input Sources related to them.

A Trigger Operation provides the ability for an operator to initiate a manual start sig­nal. The start signal can be used internally by PINpoint software or by third party systems. In the case of PINpoint software, the start signal can be used to initiate the calling of a custom extension (*.dll). In the case of third party systems, the start signal can be used by the operator to initiate the execution of custom PLC code. While on the surface it may appear that PINpoint Software already has this functionality with established operations (e.g. Scan OP and Check box OP), and in many operational scenarios the established functionality is sufficient, there are operational scenarios where the established operations have limitations. The objective of the Trigger Oper­ation is to create an operation which must be satisfied as part of the error-proofing process which can generate a momentary start signal which can be triggered multiple times.
