Scripting the Production Equipment Model for Batch

Adding the Production Equipment Model via Script

These code examples include pseudo-code and have been functionalized. Working in the base system.mes. library and working with object links. For batch, we will add that framework of: Process Cell and Unit.

Functionalizing enables saving in the Scripts folder in the Project Browser and calling the function where needed.

Warning If you are using the starter project and want to leverage the automation scripts for batches, name all equipment exactly as given.

Rename the Enterprise

Copy Code
Python
def do(obj,ss):
	mm = dir(obj)
	for m in mm:
		if ss.upper() in m.upper():
			print m

currentEnterpriseName = 'New Enterprise'
enterpriseName = 'Enterprise'
	
def setEnterpriseName(currentEnterpriseName, enterpriseName):
	mesObjectTypeName = 'Enterprise'
	# get the Enterprise object
	eqpLink = system.mes.getMESObjectLinkByName(mesObjectTypeName, currentEnterpriseName)
	eqp = eqpLink.getMESObject()
	# set the new name
	eqp.setName(enterpriseName)
	# save
	eqp.save()

To call this function:

Copy Code
Python
setEnterpriseName(currentEnterpriseName, enterpriseName)

Create the New Equipment: Site

The Enterprise is the Site object's parent.

Copy Code
Python
currentEnterpriseName = 'New Enterprise'
enterpriseName = 'Enterprise'
siteName = 'Site'
siteDescription = 'My Site'


 # create a new site object
mesObjectTypeName = 'Site'
eqp = system.mes.createMESObject(mesObjectTypeName)
	
# set the name
eqp.setName(siteName)
	
# set the description -optional
eqp.setDescription(siteDescription)
	
# set the active flag to True
eqp.setActive(True)
	
# set the parent object
parentMesObjectTypeName = 'Enterprise'
parentLink = system.mes.getMESObjectLinkByName(parentMesObjectTypeName, enterpriseName)
eqp.addParent(parentLink)
	
# save
eqp.save()

Create the New Equipment: Area

Copy Code
Python
currentEnterpriseName = 'New Enterprise'
enterpriseName = 'Enterprise'
siteName = 'Site'
siteDescription = 'My Site'
areaName = 'Area'
areaDescription = 'my area'

def createArea(areaName, areaDescription, siteName):
	
  # create a new area object
	mesObjectTypeName = 'Area'
	eqp = system.mes.createMESObject(mesObjectTypeName)
	
  # set the name
	eqp.setName(areaName)
	
  # set the description
	eqp.setDescription(areaDescription)
	
  # set the active flag to True
	eqp.setActive(True)
	
  # set the parent object
	parentMesObjectTypeName = 'Site'
	parentLink = system.mes.getMESObjectLinkByName(parentMesObjectTypeName, siteName)
	eqp.addParent(parentLink)
	
  # save
	eqp.save()

Create the New Equipment: Process Cell

Copy Code
Python
currentEnterpriseName = 'New Enterprise'
enterpriseName = 'Enterprise'
siteName = 'Site'
siteDescription = 'My Site'
areaName = 'Area'
areaDescription = 'my area'
processCellName = 'Process Cell'
processCellDescription = 'my process cell'




def createProcessCell(processCellName, processCellDescription, areaName):
	# create a new object
	mesObjectTypeName = 'ProcessCell'
	eqp = system.mes.createMESObject(mesObjectTypeName)
	# set the name
	eqp.setName(processCellName)
	# set the description
	eqp.setDescription(processCellDescription)
	# set the active flag to True
	eqp.setActive(True)
	# set the parent object
	parentMesObjectTypeName = 'Area'
	parentLink = system.mes.getMESObjectLinkByName(parentMesObjectTypeName, areaName)
	eqp.addParent(parentLink)
	# set the checkboxes
	eqp.setRemoveCompleteFromQueue(False)
	eqp.setRemoveHeldFromQueue(False)
	# save
	eqp.save()


Create the New Equipment: Unit

Copy Code
Python
currentEnterpriseName = 'New Enterprise'
enterpriseName = 'Enterprise'
siteName = 'Site'
siteDescription = 'My Site'
areaName = 'Area'
areaDescription = 'my area'
processCellName = 'Process Cell'
processCellDescription = 'my process cell'
unitName = 'Premix 2'
unitDescription = 'aaa'
phaseClassName = 'Demo'
parentPhaseClass = None
unitClassName = 'Premix'
parentUnitClassName = 'Demo'


def createUnit(unitName, unitDescription, processCellName):
	# create a new object
	mesObjectTypeName = 'Unit'
	eqp = system.mes.createMESObject(mesObjectTypeName)
	# set the name
	eqp.setName(unitName)
	# set the description
	eqp.setDescription(unitDescription)
	# set the active flag to True
	eqp.setActive(True)
	# set the parent object
	parentMesObjectTypeName = 'ProcessCell'
	parentLink = system.mes.getMESObjectLinkByName(parentMesObjectTypeName, processCellName)
	eqp.addParent(parentLink)
	# save
	eqp.save()

Calling these Functions

Add these calls to the end:

Copy Code
Python
setEnterpriseName(currentEnterpriseName, enterpriseName)
createSite(siteName, siteDescription, enterpriseName)	
createArea(areaName, areaDescription, siteName)
createProcessCell(processCellName, processCellDescription, areaName)
createUnit(unitName, unitDescription, processCellName)
