Device Assistant - Summary

In the last configuration step of the Device Assistant, you define the default values for "Default setup operation" and "Default operation for assistant" in the lower part of the window.

Explanation:

There are machines on which a login is not necessary in order to start an operation. Furthermore, activities performed on the machine do not necessarily have to be reported back manually. For example, the job can be loaded on the machine, the machine started up, and the job started without recording an operation (PDC message). For the evaluation, however, it is necessary that the "machine operator" and "status messages" operating data be recorded for each job. That is why you define operations (PDC messages) here which are always generated automatically when the activities carried out on the machine cannot be recorded manually.

"Default setup operation" and "Default production operation" parameters

These default operations are automatically pre-assigned and cannot be edited.

Standard operation for assistant:

Prerequisite: This parameter is only displayed if the "Assistant" function was selected in the "Function" list box in the "Assigning operations" configuration step.

This is where you can define which PDC message is automatically generated for a logged-in assistant if a user logs in to this device in the "Operator" function and loads an operation. The operation (PDC message) is also generated if the user logs off this device and logs on to another device in the "Operator" function. This means that the assistant is automatically logged in to the device and that logging out at the previous device does not have to be done manually.
