Production Simulator	1.9.5 SP4	The Sepasoft Production Simulator is a free module that enables the configuration of simple equipment to simulate a simple factory floor. Infeed, outfeed, and waste counts, as well as equipment state values and additional factors can be furnished by the Production Simulator for the purpose of OEE Downtime proof of concept and testing.

2.9.3 Change Notes

Version 2.9.3 SP12 is for Ignition platform 7.9.4 to 7.9.x. Our 2.9.3 modules are not compatible with Ignition 8. Please visit the “Platform 2, Ignition 8.0” tab to download available Ignition 8 compatible 2.9.4 modules.

What is new in 2.9.3?

Performance improvement in both live and historical analysis
Added a method to handle sub-second tag collector updates

Bug fixes

The MES 2.0 platform release contains the new OEE 2.0 module. All other modules maintain the same functionality as their MES 1.0 counterparts but have been modified to work on the new platform. The Web Services, Barcode Scanner, Instrument Interface and Production Simulator modules from the MES 1.0 suite can be installed alongside these MES 2.0 modules. All other modules need to be upgraded to the 2.0 version. If you are upgrading from any of the MES 2.0 versions, please restart your Gateway after install.

Change Notes

+ 1.7.9 General: All MES Products

Change Type	Change Log
Fixed	Issues when saving changes to production model multiple times in rapid succession.
Fixed	Issue editing an MES Person object in the MES Object Editor component. The name which has a comma was not being accepted. This may have also occurred with script function.
Improved	Production model items running on multiple threads.
Improved	Speed of the slide over of the properties in the MES Object Editor component.

+ 1.7.9 OEE Module

+ 1.7.9 Recipe Module

Change Type	Change Log
Improved	Changed size of value field in recipe value and sub recipe value table to 1024 from 255. Allows a larger string value data size.
Added	Gateway scope now houses system.recipe.getRecipeValueSecurity and system.recipe.updateRecipeValueSecurity script funciton that were previously just in the client scope.
Added	Script method system.recipe.getItemRecipeList() with “includeMasterRecipes” parameter.
Improved	List changes to the changelog for child recipes when changing on the parent scope.
Fixed	Bug that “User Filter” has no effect on the system.recipe.getChangeLogHistory() script and the “Recipe ChangeLog Viewer” component.
Added	Support for importing/exporting multiple recipes.

+ 1.7.9 Track & Trace Module

Change Type	Change Log
Added	Check in track and trace create operation function to return error message when blank values are passed for operation name and equipment path.
Added	Check in track and trace create segment function to return error message when blank values are passed for operation segment name.
Fixed	Bug in track and trace when displaying sub lots in the trace graph.
Fixed	Sublot Matched Text property so that it is used when displaying the sublot flag in the trace graph nodes.
Fixed	Bug in Track and Trace where material lot objects were not being set to “Used”.
Fixed	Bug in MES Material Selector component with optional material properties.
Fixed	Issue where segment names that contain the _ character returned an error stating that the segment cannot run at the equipment.
Fixed	Optional material reference for segments so that material lot object are not created if the quantity is zero.
Improved	MES Lot Selector component to not show disabled material lots. This will also effect script functions to get material lots.
Improved	How operations, segments and material lots are cleaned up after a segment or operation is aborted.
Improved	Material lots that are active are not returned as options when selecting a lot for a segment. This change also effects script functions that return available lots. It also prevents selecting a material lot that is still active and begining, ending, updating or executing a segment.

+ 1.7.9 SPC Module

Change Type	Change Log
Fixed	Sample Entry component to not update the entry date time and taken date time properties if they are already set. This fixes the issue of the dates being changed from the original when editing existing samples.
Fixed	Exception on Sample Entry component that was occurring when testing if samples are within limits.
Fixed	Issue of the background color not reflecting the correct limit violation in the table of the control chart. This only applies for more than one upper limit or more than one lower limit being shown in the control chart.
Added	system.quality.definition.getNewDefinitionSignal() script function to get an instance of a sample definition control limit.
Added	system.quality.definition.getSignalNameList() script function to return the names of all SPC signals.
Fixed	Bug adding and removing control limits and signals from sample definitions.
