hello my name is Jeremy Banks from Mitutoyo America today we're going to talk about
structured sublot with MCOSMOS and MeasurLink real-time software
structured sublot is a function inside of MCOSMOS that allows me to send
detailed traceability information to MeasurLink normally when you run an
MCOSMOS part program which I'm going to do now you only have one opportunity to
enter in traceability information and that is with the sublot field for
example my sublot field I'm going to put in one two three four five this
information will be passed over to MeasurLink along with the logged in
user which in this example is admin I want to run the part program by hitting
OK the program ran now I'm going to toggle back to MeasurLink to look at
my data in MeasurLink I can see that the measured values were transferred
over if I click on traceability I can see that operator and sublot was also
sent some operators require additional information they want traceability
beyond just the sublot for those we're going to setup structured sublot to do
that I'm going to go back to MCOSMOS
now that I'm back in part manager I'm gonna click on settings structured sublot
structured sublot allows you to send additional traceability as a string
the string has a determined number of characters to set it up I'm going to
click on new the first two characters are going to be machine starting with
number one ending at number two and then we're going to give an abbreviation I'm
satisfied with this I'm going to hit OK the first field has been created this is
the first two characters of the structured sublot string I'm ready to
do the middle field now this field is only going to be one character long it's
going to be the palette so it's going to start at character three and into
character three I'm going to call this palette and give it an abbreviation I'm
satisfied with this window I'm going to hit OK I'm going to do my third field
now this is the fixture fixtures are going to be two characters so I'm going
to start at four and end at five
I'm satisfied with this once again I'm gonna hit okay now I have three fields
machine pallet fixture starting with character one ending at character five
so I have a five character string that has these three traceability items to
use it is the same as using sublot just run your part program inside of the
repeat mode wizard I now have an additional enabled button this allows me
to set my structured sublot fields notice that it uses the name that I
defined to help the operator identify which characters in the string he's
going to be using I'm satisfied with this I'm gonna hit OK I'm now going to
run the part program
back in MeasurLink I can go to the traceability field and see that
additional fields have been created machine pallet fixture the contents of
the string was divided and put into the traceability fields there's a 40
character limit with structured sublot the limit applies to the answers or the
contents of the string itself not the name of the traceability fields you can
have as many fields as you want as long as you don't exceed the 40 character
limit thank you for watching the video if you have any more questions about the
