RCS-45 System : Monitoring for reel to reel plating machines. Effective data statistics

For statistical process control purposes the main PC creates daily files containing the following kinds of data: (1) alarms with arising and removal dates/ times, localisation and description. (2) machine states with date/time, passwords in use, production status, fabrication references, etc. (3) time of use of the machine for the various main production modes. (4) spools produced including all relevant library data in two different kinds of files. (5) setpoints of the analog values under two formats for an event driven and an overall vision. (6) variations of the analog effective values and setpoints for a visualization in graphic form.

 


The visualization and the statistical treatment of these data take place via a program installed on a "server" PC linked through an Ethernet network to the main PCs of the machines. Certain data are saved in ASCII format so that they can be treated by a spreadsheet like Excel. However for a complete exploitation of the data the utility illustrated here is necessary. It is also advised for its conviviality, the CD-ROM backup facilities and mainly because its response times are 50 times shorter than those of Excel.
