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()
