Kernel configuration file

The main configuration of the Kernel process is stored in the file /usr/local/plc/etc/plc_krnl_project.cfg.

Sending of backflush

The backflush data can be created either by the Kernel, or it can be prepared by a PMC data flow when the data are being received.

Kernel data

PMC data

# It is possible to backflush the product using the PMC dataflow. PMC will prepare the datafile                                                       
# in time when the data are received to Clever system and place it to the defined DirQueue. When                                                      
# the product assembly is finished, the Kernel crates the flag file and PMC DirQueue sends the                                                        
# datafile to JIS.

# The flag file can be created by a done operation as well.

PartDistribution.cfg

This configuration file defines how the part numbers received in the product data are distributed to the operations.

plan_project.cfg

This configuration file defines all workplaces and its operations on a main assembly line and preassembly branches.

Operation data scripts

It is possible to create bash scripts which are executed by special events. The location of these scripts is defined by the Kernel configuration parameter

OperationDataScriptsDir = "/usr/local/plc/bin/operation_data_scripts"

It is its default value.

These scripts are most often used for a centralized printing of labels or creating and/or sending of messages or reports.

Following three types of the scripts can be used:

• Operation scripts
• Workplace scripts
• Special events scripts

Operation scripts

These scripts are executed when the operation sends its data to the kernel. The Client parameter

Operation.name.SendDataToKernel = Yes

is needed. The name of the script needs to be same like an operation ID (for example /usr/local/plc/bin/operation_data_scripts/AB3).

The script is executed with following parameters:

1. Product ID
2. Operation ID
3. Operation data
4. Result
5. Sequence number

Workplace scripts

These scripts are executed when the product is completed on the workplace (when an operation XY0 is OK reported to the Kernel). Nothing is needed to specify in the Client configuration.

The script is executed with following parameters:

1. Product ID
2. Operation ID

The name of the script needs to be same like a workplace ID (for example /usr/local/plc/bin/operation_data_scripts/AB).

Special events scripts

There are some special scripts, which are executed by following events:

Event	Name of the script	Note
Start of assembly	START_OF_ASSEMBLY	When the product ID is scanned first time on any workplace
End of assembly	END_OF_ASSEMBLY	When the assembly is finished. It means the product is either: Completed on the workplace which ends the assembly The following product(s) finished its assembly The rework procedure had been commited and the following product(s) finished its assembly
Rework requested	REWORK_REQUESTED	When the code PLCSENDREW was used on any workplace
Rework finished	REWORK_FINISHED	When the rework procedure was committed on a rework station
Rework cancelled	REWORK_CANCELLED	When the code PLCRMREW was used on any workplace

The script is executed with following parameters:

1. Product ID

Using of soft links

If the script has a general feature, it is useful to use just a soft link named like the operation and it can point to the real script.
