Structure
Menu → System settings → Structure
The Structure module is used to define the plant hierarchy as: Machine park / Building → Line → Machine. It is the foundation of the system - Monitoring, Planogram, the Status configurator, and reports and analyses all rely on this structure. The view is divided into three tabs: Machine parks, Lines, Machines. Each tab provides filters (sort by name/date, search) and an Add button.
Machine parks
The top level of the structure - a machine park or building. For each park the following actions are available:
Check broker connection - verifies communication with the MQTT broker (whether data from the devices reaches the system),
Edit - change the park's name/settings,
Show structure - preview the tree of lines and machines belonging to the park,
Delete.
You add a new park with the Add button.
Lines
Production lines belonging to a machine park. From this tab you add, edit and delete lines. Once a line is created, machines can be assigned to it.
Machines
Machines assigned to a specific park and line. The table shows: the Machine name, Machine park / Building, Line and a Visibility on monitoring toggle (which decides whether the machine is shown in the Monitoring module). Filters by Park and Line, sorting and search are available, as well as Edit and Delete actions. You add a new machine with the Add button.
Once lines and machines are created, their configuration can be duplicated, which significantly speeds up the deployment of many similar workstations. Assigning signals to machines is done in the Status configurator module.
