After assigning the loop numbers from any controller in the system to
the group, select a type number of two digits up to 99. This number is
the job directory number for the group and its loops. All groups with the
same type number will be assigned to the same job directory. Creating a
new type number creates a new job directory number in the ANASOFT
program.
Group menu
General grouping rules
• Create a group when you need to have the loops on the same Over-
view screen.
• Assign the loops to the group you want to have on the same Over-
view screen.
• Create a new type number for the new group. This type number may
be assigned to more than one group, when the jobs that are saved to
the Job Directory are to be common to the groups that it is assigned
to.
When using the same type number for groups, the number of
loops must match. Otherwise a new type number must be used.
Grouping example
The application has two furnaces, one with four loops and one with two
loops in two separate areas. There are three presses with two loops each,
that share common ramp soak jobs. And, finally, an oven with two loops
of ramp soak control that has nothing in common with the presses ramp
soak jobs.
