Production - This is the production during the report period (hour, shift, day and month).
T.E % - This time efficiency calculated on machine on time and machine off time. When sensor is off line or disabled, then accuracy of this value is not correct.
P.E % - This is production efficiency. To get the correct efficiency you will have to enter target production in Assign Order to machine menu.
The main report has one row per machine. The colour of row will show you the status of machine as under.
Green - Machine is on and production is on.
Yellow - Machine is on, but production is stopped.
Red - The machine is off and there is communication with sensor.
Grey - The Sensor is disabled, as there was no communication with sensor.
Important Tips
1. If you are not interested in actual production value, but only status of machine, switch to Status Report.
2. Time efficiency and Production efficiency are important factors. Normally both value should be same and near 100%
3. If both efficiencies are low, then machine was not run to full capacity and indicate some break down.
4. If Time efficiency is high and Production efficiency is low, then machine was switched off or machine was run at low speed.
5. If Time efficiency is low and Production efficiency is high, then machine was run at high speed, or there is some tempering with sensor.

Return To Index Setup Sensor
This is very important menu. You need to setup sensor accurately. Any mistake here will give you garbage reports. Please play attention to production per pulse.
PLEASE READ FOLLOWING BEFORE ENTERING THE DATA.
Please follow limiting values of the data you enter here. If you leave a field blank, default value will be saved.
This menu is very important, and required for functioning of the system.
SENSOR NUMBER. - The sensor numbers are printed on the sensor. The number is programmed in sensor and can not be changed. By default all new sensor, will have not have any fixed channel. The channel will be programed when sensor is first time connected to Web Interface unit.
MACHINE NAME. - The machine name can be up to 8 characters consisting numbers and characters. This will be unique number and can not be repeated. You can choose the machine name according to your convention. If you have utility measuring sensor like KWh or Flow, name it as UTILITY1 to UTILITY5, so that you can group machines associated with that utility.
PRODUCTION PER PULSE. - Production per pulse should be more than 0 and less than 2000. You can use decimal value also. Please refer below for calculation of production per pulse.
NO PULSE PERIOD. - No pulse period is in second and range is 1 to 240 sec. When sensor does not receive a production pulse, a counter is started in sensor. If the counter value exceeds the no pulse period, it is assumed that machine is stopped and will be flagged in main page as yellow color.
MEASURING UNIT. - The name of measuring unit will depend on the production per pulse calculation. It can be maximum 7 characters.
NO. OF DECIMAL. - The number of decimal point is used if you want more precise production calculation. You can set maximum decimal to 3 positions, setting this value to 0 will round the production to integer.
STATUS. - The status column will show the sensor status. If sensor is enabled, then it will be scanned by Web Interface Unit and if disabled, it will not be scanned. You can delete only disabled sensor. When checking sensor it will show the signal strength of Web interface unit and sensor.
GET ORIGINAL VALUE. - Many time you may need to modify the sensor data. Enter the sensor serial number or machine name and click GET ORIGINAL VALUE button, and existing settings will be filled in input boxes. Modify the parameters and click ADD OR MODIFY button and new data will be saved. Please note that you can not modify sensor number and machine number. You will have to delete it completely.
ADD OR MODIFY BUTTON. - When you want to add new sensor fill up all the text boxes with the data and then press ADD OR MODIFY button. Values outside the specified limit will not be accepted. You can use same button to modify the sensor data. If you leave a field blank, default value will be saved.
CHECK SENSOR. - After adding the sensor, you can check if you have entered correct numbers. Click CHECK SENSOR, and you will get status of sensor in status column. The Sensor will be enabled or disabled. You can see Rx and TX values also, these are signal level received at sensor and Web Interface Unit. Lower the value, longer the distance of sensor. If sensor is disabled, and no communication message appears, then either sensor is off, or beyond range. The CHECK SENSOR button will also enable all sensors if they are disabled.
DELETE SENSOR. - You can delete a sensor, by entering sensor number in text box adjacent to DELETE SENSOR button, and by clicking it. You should delete an enabled sensor only, to reset the channel number stored in sensor. When you delete a sensor, all data associated with sensor will also be deleted except, old reports. So always be careful, before you delete a sensor.
ENABLE / DISABLE SENSOR. - Sensor will be disabled, if there is no reply from sensor for 10 minutes (this value can be set in configure parameter menu). The disabled sensor will be shown in status column and also in main page and flagged as gray color. The sensor will be enabled when you press CHECK SENSOR and communication is established if sensor is ON. The sensor will also be automatically enabled every 20 min or after the reboot of Web Interface Unit.
MORE ABOUT PRODUCTION PER PULSE - Let us assume, we have a textile machine, and one of the shaft or wheel rotates in proportion to production. We have installed the senor on this shaft such that sensor gets one pulse per rotation. Also assume that one rotation will produce 1345 mm of cloth. Now let us consider different calculations for production per pulse.
1. If we want production in mm, then we set production per pulse as 1345 (mm of production per rotation) , then our unit will be mm and if we set decimal to 0, then report will display production in millimeter. The display will show xxxxx mm.
2. If we want production in meters, then set the production per pulse as 1.345 (meters of production per rotation 1345 /1000) and unit as meter. If you need precision in centimeters also set the decimal point to 2. The display will show xxxx.xx meters. The digits after decimal will show centimeters.
3. If we want production in kilometer, with precision in meter, then set production per pulse as .001345 (kilometer of production per rotation) and unit as kilometer, and decimal point to 3. The display will show value of xxxx.xxx kilometers. The digit after decimal will be meters.
This logic can be applied to any production quantity like length, weight, objects, energy unit, time, etc.
SENSOR NUMBERING. - The sensor number is 5 digit number. There are two types of sensor, pulse counting and time counting. In time counting mode, the report will display Machine ON time in place of production, and sensor will count seconds when signal is applied to sensor. The sensor number starts from 10001 to 89999. Please note that this 5 digit sensor number is unique and factory programmed and can not be changed.
UTILITY SENSORS - These types of sensors are used for counting of utility like, power, flow, or any other utility. The names of these sensor should be UTILITY1 or UTILITY2 or UTILITY3 or UTILITY4 or UTILITY5. You can group the machines under these sensors for getting utility consumption per unit of production.
MACHINE NAME ORDER. - The machine name will be sorted alphabetically and used in all report. For example machine name LOOM01 will come first and then LOOM02. If you want machines to be grouped use the machine name as LOOM01, LOOM02 and TAPE01 TAPE02 etc.
RF CHANNEL - Normally the RF channel is not set in sensor. When you add a sensor in Web Interface Unit, the Web Interface Unit will transmit the sensor number on set channel. The sensor will be listening on all the 9 channels. Once the sensor gets the serial number from Web Interface unit, it will latch to that channel. The channel number will be stored in non volatile memory of the sensor. When you delete the sensor, this channel number will also be deleted. However if the sensor is OFF Line or Disabled at the time of deleting, then channel number will NOT be deleted. So always delete the sensor when it is enabled only. Please contact our service department for deleting the RF Channel of sensor.
