Model 8
Model 8 Description
Model 8 creates production events when the Turnup Tag has a value change. The Tappi or Event Number is created using the properties defined for this model. The format of the Tappi or Event Number is [M?####]. The M refers to the Tappi Month characters defined. The first question mark (?) refers to the middle characters of the Tappi or Event Number. The #### refers to the event count and this sequence number comes from the value of the Turnup Tag.
The functionality in this model is available only if you have purchased the Quality Module.
Model 8 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. |
Turnup Tag |
A value change of this tag is used to trigger a new production event to be created. |
Tappi Middle |
This value is used as the middle 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. |
Month Chars |
The Tappi Month Characters used to generate the M character. |
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. |
