Settings and Changeover Tutorial

The Settings & Changeover module provides support for managing machine settings for lines, cell groups, cells and location production items. Recipe values can be added to these production items and represent settings that may be written to a PLC or other controller via Ignition tags. The recipe values that are added at the line level are propagated down to production cells, cell groups and locations within the line.

In this tutorial, you will create recipes that hold machine settings for the Cells in your Line. Then, these are downloaded to the line and monitor machine setpoint variance from actual.

Generally, location production items would only be used when other production items are not available, due to not having OEE or T&T modules installed or licensed.
