Shop Floor Configuration

There are numerous steps to setting up and defining a shop floor. Each step entails providing specific information. The information on one element of the shop floor directly relates and is associated with a second element. Communication Processor information, for example, needs boot set information. Machine definitions need communications processor and Data Collection Module (DCM) information. Changes to some shop floor definitions force a re-initialization of a DCM. This, in turn, affects the currently running job.

The following sections discuss some basic relationships between specific shop floor components. These relationships are presented here to facilitate the entering of information.
