Mother Parkers case study

Mother Parkers

A custom InduSoft solution allows this packager of fine coffees and teas to monitor production runs on a newly installed filling line, and eliminate product loss due to overfilling.

The InduSoft system associates historical data with both job numbers and SKU numbers so Mother Parkers management can analyze individual runs.

Mother Parkers chose InduSoft for its all-inclusive offering of PLC drivers and because it offered significant cost advantages over competitive software.

The user plans to expand the same solution to four additional lines and to add operator workstations to improve performance at the local level.

Mother Parkers

Tight Production Monitoring Reduces "Give Away" on One Coffee Packing Line – Grows to Monitor Each Plant Line

Since Mother Parkers had the initial InduSoft Web Studio application installed, the most significant benefit is that staff can associate data with a specific production run so

that it’s possible to tell precisely what costs are associated with a particular blend. It’s possible to hone in and see

how much coffee is being given away inadvertently and get closer to target weights.

Linked SymbolsUsing Linked Symbols, the user can create, modify and customize his/her own library of symbols and re-use them in many different projects. After editing the MASTER SYMBOL once, the changes are replicated to all instances of this symbol in the application, improving productivity during application development.

Create the Linked Symbol Edit your own Custom Properties

Save the MASTER SYMBOL in

the library.

Insert the Linked Symbol into the

application screens and assign tags

and/or values to it.

After inserting the symbol, the user can determine whether to keep the link with the MASTER Symbol or not.

Best designing practices

When designing a project

Application Resolution – Width x Height ratio

Platform and License

Review Project Settings (Viewer, Communication,

Touch-screen settings (cursor, focus, vk, right-

click, object size)

Translation (objects size)

Communication (every state or last state)

Tags Database

Arrays

Classes

Tag Fields (->Hi, ->HiLimit, ->Quality, ->TimeStamp, etc)

Tag names (use objective names - avoid long names)

Avoid retentive values/parameters for a large number of

Tag Integration

Tag description

Graphic Interface

Screen groups

Re-use screens (array tags, indirect tags, or

mnemonics)

Share background pictures when applicable

Linked Symbols

$Ext() function to text used in external dialogs, such

as MsgBox or InputBox.

General

Avoid spaces and special characters in file names

(e.g.: screen names)

Add comments to scripts and worksheets

History Life Time

Avoid calling modal dialogs on the Server (MsgBox,

InputBox, $RDFileN, etc) when using Thin Clients.

Avoid hard-coded paths. Use $GetAppPath().

General

Avoid repeated scripts – Global Procedures.

When applicable, use ‘On Error Resume Next’ and

‘On Error Goto 0’ in scripts

Make sure that when using $DBCursorOpen() or

$DBCursorOpenSQL(), call $DBCursorClose() to avoid

memory leaking.

General

When using the Recipe task, enable the XML

format.

When using Thin Clients, enable the SSL option, as

well as the Web Tunneling Gateway.

Use the TXRX built-in driver to read data from

scanners and barcode readers (ASCII protocol)

Performance optimization

Sequential addresses in the driver sheet

Consider the options “Screen” or “Auto” in the

Main Driver Sheet and OPC Client worksheets.

Adjust the “Send Period” for communication with

Thin Clients

Trend decimation and Database Gateway

Avoid large picture objects and fill effects in low-

end HMIs (Windows Embedded CE).

Troubleshooting

Output window (Log Options, and Log Tags)

Database Spy

Cross-Reference

$Trace() function

When deploying the project

Clear Database Spy

Disable LogWin “save to disk” option

Remove “test” files (\HST, \Alarm, \Web\Dump)

Remove unused tags from the project

Quality Feedback (unexpected errors)

Run “Verify” command

Create a backup
