Trace a part value at operation
Posted: Thu Mar 20, 2025 2:01 pm
You have to define the variable that you want to trace.
Press the "Variable list" button at the flow. Add a new row and record the variable.
For example, "Test Processor Voltage" and "Test Battery Voltage".
Close this window and double-click on the operation you want to trace.
Select the variables tab.
Add the variable to the block. The best way is to add process and product variables. If a PLC provides the data, the data will first be saved to the process values, and when the PLC sends a pass product signal, the current process data will be saved as product data. So, if you want to get these data from a PLC, you need to temporarily store the data in the process values. When you run a production process, type the instance code on the terminal and press the "Data" button. You can type the tracing values.
PLC can also provide these data. Important: You can force the operator to fill in all of the data at every part. If you want to get this data from the operator every time, don't add the values to the block as process values. In this case, x4Trace will show a dialog to the operator when a product passes. "If the PLC or another device provides the data, the variable is also needed as a process variable."
