Identifiers
Identifiers are used to both store valuable information, such as operator ID and serial numbers in each result and also to select the next task for the controller.
Identification strings can be inserted into the controller either via Open protocol, Fieldbus or a Scanner.
The inserted/scanned value is validated according to the predefined identifiers and if the controller finds a match it will perform the action of that identifier.
There are several different ways of using inserted/scanned data:
Traceability and production monitoring (Operator ID, Store in Custom ID and Save ID)
Work control (Select Pset, Verification program and Batch sequence)
User access control (Login).
To configure how inserted/scanned values are used, the user needs to setup identifier rules. These rules first tries to validate an incoming identification string (scanner input). If the identification string is validated by the rule, it will issue an action to the system.
