I actually have both “OEE Outfeed Count” and “Outfeed-Material Out” in my live analysis, so that’s how I can see that I’m getting data for one and not the other.
I’m running the very very latest version downloaded yesterday.
I understand that it’s difficult to provide enough information to get good help, but I was hoping that my symptoms would trigger someone to point out some obvious mistake that I’ve made. I really appreciate your suggestions.
I put all my counters at the 'line' level. I wonder if this would be considered a bug (not surprising given my experience), doesn't make sense that a cell would be required since you can assign counters at the line level.
Well, I don’t know then…I was reading the manual for the 500th time to see where I went wrong and I saw this:
“It is recommended to set up MES Counters at the cell level in order to accurately capture counts while indexing product on the line. Addition configuration must be accomplished with the cell settings in the production model.”
So I thought “AhhHA! That’s it!” and I made the change and now it works, I think. I’m still working through the numbers to make sure it all makes sense.
If I learn more I’ll reply back again. Thanks again for your help.
Bill, it looks like you’re squared away, but FYI - a call or email into the Support line at Sepasoft should get to the bottom of this rather quickly. We do NOT actively monitor this forum, so getting direct support from Sepasoft here is hit or miss.
Fwiw, the reason we recommend setting up counters at the cell level (assuming a production line has multiple cells under it - you can ignore this advice if you have a stand-alone machine acting as a “Line”) is that we track the product code through the cells under a line and we want to ensure that the counts are attributed to the correct product that is running at a cell at a given time. Think of a changeover scenario where Product A is being run out on the line and Product B is starting at the beginning of the line. We don’t want reject counts at the end of the line where Product A is getting run out to be attributed to Product B for instance. Furthermore, cell level counters enable us to calculate OEE at the Cell and Line levels.
Hopefully that clarifies the point. If you require additional assistance, please drop us a “line”.
I'm not getting the OEE Outfeed count and OEE Reject Count in MES Provider if both the tags are incrementing in my own provider. To update the count in MES provider, Is there any configuration in tag collector of that cell?
And there is no Tag in Tag collector Which reference the OEE Outfeed Count
Can u please help me to get the counts in MES Provider
I see that you have counters configured for infeed, outfeed, and reject. In your post you say that you are not seeing the data for Outfeed and Reject. Does that mean that you ARE seeing that the counter for Infeed is incrementing?
To answer your earlier question about the tag collector. I think the answer is "no", there is no configuration in the tag collector for the MES counts. That is all done in the counter configuration as you have done.
How does your other Live Analysis data look? Are you picking up the machine/cell state, mode, and other information from the PLC?
State and Mode tagpath is added in the Tag Collector Configuration and its working proper. So, i asked whether there any configuration in Tag Collector.
