Peripheral equipment such as temperature control devices, material dryers, moulded part container changers etc. can be integrated in the maintenance module of the ALS. First the individual devices have to be configured here in the Master data. For this purpose it is sufficient to enter the designation of the device in the dialog 'Add new'. If you have previously defined suitable peripheral groups in the 'Infra structure', you can allocate them to the groups here. Such groups facilitate your search for maintenance orders in the maintenance module.
The following functions are available for the administration of the peripheral equipment:
'add new'
'edit'
'delete'
Changing the status
Change status:
In the dialog 'Change status' you change the status of a peripheral device and have the possibility to specify how long the new status will be valid. In addition, you can also specify the current location. If the peripheral is logged on to a machine, the status "producing" is automatically entered for it.
Change location:
The location of a peripheral can be set manually in the master data. Alternatively, the location can also be changed via the Mobile Production Terminal.
If a peripheral is registered on a machine by adding it via the parts list, the machine name is automatically entered as the location. This cannot be changed manually as long as the peripheral device is registered on a machine.
