The Settings & Changeover Module provides components, scripting functions and analysis providers that all provide access to stored recipe data. All of these can be used to create screens and reports to display recipe information.

Recipe Changelog Viewer component

Combined with a MES Object Selector component to provide an equipment path filter, and with a Recipe Selector Combo component to provide a recipe name filter to the Recipe Changelog Viewer, you can filter which recipe changes are shown. Refer to the Recipe Changelog Viewer help for more information.

The Recipe Change Log Provider and legacy analysis components can also be used to return Change log information. See the Using The Recipe Analysis Providers section below.

Recipe Variance Viewer component

Combined with a MES Object Selector component to provide an equipment path filter, and with a Recipe Selector Combo component to provide a recipe name filter to the Recipe Variance Viewer, you can filter which recipe variancesare shown. Refer to the Recipe Variance Viewer help for more information.

The Recipe Variance Analysis Provider and legacy analysis components can also be used to return recipe variance information. See the Using The Recipe Analysis Providers section below.

Using The Recipe Analysis Providers

The legacy analysis components, Production Analysis Selector, Production Stored Analysis Selector and Analysis Controller can also be used to return recipe information. They are considered legacy as they were replaced by the MES Analysis Controller etc. components in MES 2.0 for OEE Downtime, however SPC, Recipe and OEE 1.0 still use the legacy components. SPC for MES 3.0 and Recipe for MES 3.0 will use the MES Analysis Controller etc. components in the future.

The built-in analysis components allows you to compare two or more recipes, review recipe change logs, and review production-run variances. You can create multi-page reports with the recipe analysis information and the Ignition Report Designer. The image below shows the Impromptu Analysis screen where a recipe C1 6Pk is being compared to its parent Master C. Filters and data points can be selected using the Production Analysis Selector component, but the Analysis Controller component and system.mes.analysis.createMESAnalysisSettings scripting function will allow requesting comparisons of recipes without the user interface. The filters and data points are defined through the component properties.

Recipe Analysis Provider

The Recipe module provides four analysis providers that can be used to analyze differences between recipes, variances and change logs.

• Settings Recipe Analysis Provider
• Settings Recipe Variance Analysis Provider
• Settings Recipe Change Log Analysis Provider
• Sub Product Code Variance Analysis Provider

Click on the links above for more information regarding the Recipe Analysis providers. Refer to Recipe Scripting for scripting examples.

Obtaining Recipe Analysis Through Scripting

Scripting functions are provided to create an analysis setting to return change log information as well as other types of recipe information. Refer to Obtaining Recipe Change Logs Through Scripting for more information.
