Model 3
Model 3 Description
Model 3 creates production events when the Batch Tag value transitions from a specific value to another specific value. The Event Number is created using the properties defined for this model. The format of the Event Number is [?YYMMDD##]. The 1st question mark (?) refers to the 1st character of the Event Number. The YY refers to a numeric 2 digit year. The MM refers to a numeric 2 digit month. The DD refers to a numeric 2 digit day of the month. The ## refers to the batch or event count of the day.
The functionality in this model is available only if you have purchased the Quality Module.
Model 3 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. |
Batch Tag |
The tag used to trigger the creation of a new production event. |
From Value |
The Value the Batch Tag must transition FROM to trigger the creation of a new production event. |
To Value |
The Value the Batch Tag must transition TO in order to trigger the creation of a new production event. |
Prod Day (HH:MM) |
The time that the counter is restarted for the number of events made in that day. |
Tappi Begin |
This value is used as the 1st characters of the Tappi or Event Number. |
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. |
