403-1 System, Distributing Pro-Joining-Sorting Inline – Operating instructions
Operation with MES
Depending on the work order and the color required, the magazine containing the requested color is
activated. Colors are specified for the magazines via the HMI.
After the workpiece base has been pushed out of the stacking magazine module, the RFID read/write head
writes the work order number, the position number and the functions to the RFID tag in the workpiece base.
In the first station, the order number (ONo) and order position (OPos) are written in a JSON string to the RFID
tag located in the workpieces. The ONo and OPos are then read in the following stations. After they are read,
a query quoting the ONo and OPos is sent to the central MES system. The MES system then sends
parameters for the work steps to the station that sent the query.
Operation without MES and with standard program
Each module can be activated or deactivated by pressing the button attached to the module. The active
status is indicated by the illumination of the button.
