Let’s take a look at each terminal setting and see how they affect the behaviour in the workbench.
From the edit window you can configure these general settings:
Setting Name : Enabled
When enabled, the terminal will be visible in the terminal list when opening the workbench. When disabled, the terminal will not be visible.
Setting Name: Terminal name and description The terminal name is the name that appears in the terminal list. The description is for display purposes only and will appear in the terminal setting screen. Setting Name: Linked Equipment Terminals that are configured for data collection can be linked to equipment. When equipment is linked, the user will see the jobs scheduled to the equipment and will have ability to perform equipment activities when clicking on the equipment record. The activities available is controlled by the configuration of the Equipment Terminal. This terminal is fully customisable. When a terminal is configured for linked equipment, the terminal will display the equipment in the workbench resource section as illustrated below. By enabling this setting, users are able to capture data to support the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) key performance indicator.
Setting Name: Crew Workbench operators can be configured to work in a crew. The Join Crew (Terminal) button on the workbench uses this value to determine which crew the operator will join. The Join Crew (Terminal) button is a default button on the Crew Terminal Template. The Join Crew (Employee) button will use the crew setting stored against the employee seat record.
Setting Name: Use Timeout When the Use Timeout setting is enabled, the workbench screen will return the user back to the clock in screen. This setting is similar to the functionality of a Windows screen saver. The workbench will perform this action when the inactivity period exceeds the Terminal timeout after (secs) value defined in Advanced Settings > General Settings.
Setting Name: Equipment Terminal When the terminal has the linked equipment setting defined, the terminal can be configured to display a specific terminal design. This allows users to control by equipment, which buttons and functions are available to the user when they click on the equipment, in the workbench resource section. By default LYNQ provides one equipment terminal template (6 – Equipment) as an example. From the edit window you can configure these User Access settings:
Setting Name : Access Control Terminals can have restricted access by group. Employee and equipment seats can be assigned to groups in Seat Maintenance. When the terminal is configured with access control and the employee or equipment does not belong to a group the terminal is configured to use, the seat will receive the following message when clocking in. Setting Name : Password
For additional control, a password can be specified against a terminal. The password is requested when selecting the terminal from the terminal list. From the edit window you can configure these terminal filter settings:
Setting Name : Data Filters
Jobs can be filtered by using the data filter option. It’s possible to filter the data by a date period and also by field values. It’s important to note, data filters can also be applied to on-screen elements. On-screen elements are enabled against each terminal and define which functions are available to the user. On screen elements can have their own data filters which will override any terminal data filters defined. From the edit window you can select which On-Screen Elements to show:
Setting Name : On-Screen Elements On-screen elements are linked to functions. Functions allow companies to define a workflow to suit a specific manufacturing process. On-screen elements may contain functions are are visible to the user from the workbench. For example, an on-screen element may include the button function, which tells the on-screen element that it will be visible on the workbench. The button can be clicked to perform other functions such as change the employees status to lunch or break or change equipment status to off or breakdown. Additionally, an on-screen element may include functions that execute in the background which the user doesn’t see from the workbench. LYNQ provides a default set of on-screen elements. You can learn how to create custom on-screen elements further in this guide. |
