Product Handling

7.2.1 Guide

If a guide is selected, it will be an external guide. If an external guide is selected, then it must be programmed by the code in programming to work in production. The internal guide can only be used by a code in programming and can be used more than one time. So, the internal guide can be written several times in the programming.

7.2.2 Program symbols

Program symbols is program specific values which are handled in the program editor. When a production is started, the linked program will collect the attached program symbols. If a value is entered in the product handling, the value will be overridden to fit this product. The main reason to use program symbols is that it makes it possible to use the same program for several products.

Example 1: There is a product called Small object and another called big object. These two products will have the same program, and by having the same program they also have the same program symbol(s). Here it is possible to have different values in the small object and in the big object.

Example 2:

  • Program A has a program symbol named $TestTime. The standard value of $TestTime is 30
  • Product X has set the value of $TestTime to 10
  • When Product X is loaded the value of $TestTime it will be set to 10 instead of 30
