Adding a recipe
You must first navigate to Smart AMS Config.
Go to the Smart AMS Config address in your web browser by using the Open Smart AMS Config UI shortcut
on the Desktop or on the Windows Start menu.
Sample address: https://localhost:6395. Make sure to replace localhost with the actual IP address of the computer Smart AMS Config is running on.To switch to the Workplaces section, select
in the Navigation Panel on the left of the page.Select the icon of the Smart AMS station for which you want to add the recipe, and then select Recipes.
Select Add recipe. To add another recipe, select Add recipe again.
Bolt Case name field: Type the bolt case name—the text string which is a unique identifier of the bolt case within all stations and recipes. This is part of outward information for bolts.
Bolt Case description field: Enter a description for the bolt case.
PR Combination field: Restrict the recipe to a specific combination of PR Codes. To accept all workpieces, leave this field blank.
When combining PR Codes, use the following Boolean operators.
Designation | Meaning |
|---|---|
/ | OR |
+ | AND |
! | NOT |
Use parentheses to combine two or more PR Codes. Place them around a series of PR Codes in an expression to indicate that those PR Codes make up one item within the expression.
If PR Codes contain spaces or other non-alphanumeric characters, enclose the PR Codes in double quotation marks.
Example: (Sunroof + "Five Doors") / ("White Color" + !"Lane Assistant").
Controller list: Select the controller to be used.
Program number field: Specify the tightening program number.
Tightening count field: Specify the number of bolts that you want tightened using the specified tightening program.
Spindle count field: Specify the number of spindles used with the tool. A wrong number will affect the output data for bolts, because bolt case names will not be correctly mapped to the results. For example, if Tightening count is set to 3, and Spindle count is set to 2, this means there are 6 bolts in the configuration.
MNO count field: Specify the maximum amount of consecutive NOK retries. The counter is reset to 0 when an OK tightening is performed. It starts counting when a tightening attempt is NOK. For unrestricted number of retries, leave the field empty.
Note that there can be a similar setting in some controllers, such as PF6000. The setting in the controller can have the following name: Max consecutive NOK per program. If you are using both settings—in Smart AMS and in the controller—then make sure they are consistent and test the configuration in practical use.
Area ID field: Specify the identification of the ILT area pertaining to the station. The ILT-driven tools at the station will only be enabled when inside the area. If this field is left blank, the tool specified in the recipe will be enabled regardless of its position.
Smart AMS is capable of indicating configuration problems in the Recipes subsection. In that case, the subsection's name will be marked with a circled exclamation mark 
.
