Model 17
Model 17 Description
Model 17 creates production events after every interval elapses. The timing interval and timing offset are parameters defined for this model. For example, if the timing interval was 60 and the offset was 0 then events would be created on the hour. The TAPPI or event number is created using the properties defined for this model. The format of the event number is [?YYMMDD##]. The first question mark (?) refers to the first characters of the event number. The YY refers to a two-digit year. The MM refers to a two-digit month. The DD refers to a two-digit day of the month. The ## refers to the event count of the day.
The functionality in this model is available only if you have purchased the Quality Module.
Model 17 Properties
The following Model properties are set up using the Plant Applications Administrator:
|
Property |
Description |
|
Maximum Run Time (Seconds) |
optional: Type the number of seconds you want the model to run. The default is 0 (zero), which means the model will not time out. Typically, you will want to limit the run time of the model only if troubleshooting the model (for example, one of the stored procedures is in an infinite loop). |
|
Model Processing Group |
Used for multithreading. See the Multithreading topic for more information. |
|
Timing Interval (Minutes) |
When the timing interval and offset elapses the production event is created. |
|
Timing Offset (Minutes) |
When the timing interval and offset elapses the production event is created. |
|
Tappi Begin |
This value is used as the 1st characters of the Tappi or Event Number. |
|
Prod Day (HH:MM) |
The time that the counter is restarted for the number of events made in that day. |
|
Use Prod Day (TRUE) |
If set to TRUE, the Prod Day setting is used to determine the end of the production day and therefore the end of the month. This will impact when the Month Character is changed to the new month. If it is set to FALSE, then midnight is used as the end of the production day. |
