Adding and managing lines
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: http://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, click
in the Navigation Panel on the left of the page.
To add a line, click Add Line.
To rearrange lines, use a drag-and-drop operation.
To copy a line, to paste it, or delete it, use the right-click context menu of the line.
General
Active toggle switch: If this toggle switch is turned off, the line is inactive. Inactive lines appear hatched in the graphical user interface. They are unavailable for execution of work; Smart AMS ignores them. If turned on, the line is activated.
Line name field: Enter the name of the assembly line.
Line number field: Specify the ordinal position of the assembly line. Examples: 1, 2, 3.
Scan rule list: Select a scan rule for the assembly line. The scan rule will be applied to all Smart AMS stations in the line.
Example usage: When a product sign-in attempt is ongoing, the conventional blue lamp on the Stack Light is blinking. It stops blinking when the attempt has been completed either OK or NOK. If the sign-in attempt has failed, the conventional red lamp on the Stack Light will indicate an error state. The error status is reset as soon as a new sign-in attempt is made or the station is switched to emergency mode.
If no scan rule is selected, all scans at the stations in the assembly line will be treated as product ID. If no input source is specified, the product ID will be empty.
Use Station Dependency Check toggle switch: If turned on, the product can only be signed in at a station in the assembly line if it was signed out in the OK state from the previous station. Otherwise, the product can be signed in and processed even if it was signed out in the NOK state from the previous station.
Note that SQS3 rework stations ignore the dependency check, even if it is activated for the assembly line in which they reside.
Sequence Check toggle switch: If you want to enable the Sequence Check feature, turn it on. Otherwise, turn it off. Use it to control that sequence numbers go in series with increment of 1. A sequence break alarm will cease when the sequence has been corrected to match the expected sequence number or the product has been signed out. The sequence break alarm in the event log contains the following details: the ID of the station where the sequence break was detected, expected sequence number (with product ID), actual sequence number (with product ID), and last unbroken sequence number (with product ID). A new notification is sent out each time a new sequence break is detected.
Strategy list: If you do not want to stop the assembly line when a sequence break in detected, select Only notification. Otherwise, select Stop production. Sequence break will be logged to the event log anyway. The Stop production option can only be used when products are signed in by PLC.
Emit always toggle switch: If turned on, the scope of the Strategy setting will include the affected station and subsequent stations in the assembly line. If turned off, it will only include the affected station. The sequence break will be logged to the event log for the affected station and, if the break is not corrected, for subsequent stations in the assembly line.
Line PLC
Enabled toggle switch: If turned on, the PLC is activated. If turned off, Smart AMS ignores it.
IP field: Specify the IP address of the PLC. The same combination of IP address and port can be used on multiple assembly lines.
Port field: Specify the TCP port for connection.
Protocol version list: Specify which protocol the PLC should follow.
