Tracker Settings: change Job Information and Tracker Setting from the HUB.

The top line item, “Tracker” contains a drop-down list of currently connected TRs. The TRs name is the “Machine Id” entered in the TR’s “Tracker Settings” screen. Select which TR unit to which changes will

be made. Select the fields you would like to make changes to and enter the new values. See TR user’s manual for a complete description of each field at TrackMyOps.com.

Please note: Do NOT change the “HUB IP Address” field.

When done with making changes, click on Apply to save, and then click Close to exit the dialog box.

Changes will not update on the TR unit until End Job has been clicked from the TR unit. The system waits for END JOB mode so the changes do not interrupt any data collection or reporting while operating. If the TR unit is already in END JOB mode, click the End Job button again to update changes.

HUB Options: change HUB Name and Display Time.

The HUB Name can be any combination of alphanumeric characters. The HUB Name will change automatically on the Tracker WEB Server.

Display Time is the number of seconds that the HUB will display each screen, Screen #1 with TRs 1-8, and Screen #2 with TRs 9-16. To display each screen for a longer time, increase the value; to display each screen for less time, decrease the value. Click OK to save changes. Click Cancel to discard changes.

Please note: If there are not at least nine TR units active, only Screen #1 will display.

Examples of Modifying and Adding Color Type Templates

Modifying Templates with a Change Limit

The default color type template for the display item “speed target high” when the speed percentage on target is high has a change limit of 95%. To set the “speed target high” change limit to 90%, but save the original template to keep “counts target high” at 95%, then change the title to “green background 90” and click add new. This saves a new template which looks identical but with a different change limit value while preserving the original. Click Close to exit the dialog box.

Changing Colors in a Template

The default color type template for the display item “id labels” is “red no border.” To change the text color from red to green select the current template and change the display name to “green no border,” leave the change limit at 0, and then change the style sheet to read:

color rgb(0, 255, 0); color background rgb(0, 0, 0);

This template will have green text on a black background without a border. Click Update to overwrite the “red no border” template, or click Add New to save a new template and preserve the original. Click Close to exit the dialog box.

Creating a Template

Below is a template for a color type with a red border, white text, and a rounded blue background:

display name: white on rounded blue red border change limit: 0 style sheet: color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 255); border: 5px solid rgb(255,0,0);border-radius: 30px;

Click Add New to save this template. Click Close to exit the dialog box.

To use the above template for a percentage display item, insert a value in the change limit field (and include that value in display name for reference). Click Update to overwrite the previous template, or click Add New to save a new template and preserve the original. Click Close to exit the dialog box.

Status Types: add, edit, or remove Event Status Types.

Go to this Line item to make changes to the default Status Types or to add new Status Types. The TR units can display up to 32 Status Types.

Status Setting: currently selected status template.

Display Name: title of the template.

Upper/Lower Left/Right: colored Andon light display,

settable to on, off, or flashing.

Expect Pulses: this box is checked if the sensor will be receiving input pulses from a moving line.

For example, the status of “Running” will expect pulses because the line is in operation, but “Down for Service” will not expect pulses because the line has stopped. The default setting for “Job Setup” is

expecting pulses, but if in your operations there will be no movement on the line during setup you would uncheck the expect pulses box.

Timeout Active: this box is checked if after a set amount of time (Pulse Timeout field in the “Update Tracker Settings” screen on the TR unit) the TR will go into an “Undefined” status if the opposite of the

Expect Pulses setting is happening.

For example, if a TR is in the status “Running” and there are no pulse inputs, the TR will go into an “Undefined” status, prompting the operator to set the TR to the correct status. Alternatively, if a TR is in the status “Down for Service” and there are pulses incoming, the “Undefined” status is entered.

Target Active: this box is checked if the target/takt fields should increase during an event status.

For example, if a TR is in the status “Running” the takt will increase because the line is in normal operation. If a TR is in the status “Job Set Up” the takt will not increase because the any incoming pulses are considered a part of the setup process and not normal operation. Whereas the status “Out of Product” will increase the takt because the line should procedurally not run out of products while

normally operating.
