This guide is to show how to amend units of measure of existing stock items.
If a new product is created please ensure the Units of measure is always set up correctly from the beginning .
The CIM50 guide for Units of Measure setup is [https://cimservices.sharepoint.com/:w:/s/Cim50PartnerMarketing/EZhA_HF6SFJLmkVO5WANYXIBZdMx4hbVnuY3cdIF78p7lg?rtime=FcNQz7GE2Ug here] +
Since 2022 ABB have removed the simple link from workbench to allow firmware download. This makes it trickier to upgrade an ESB unit on a saw side of a flowline to allow CANopen communication. This is needed on a Windows update.
The procedure demonstrates where to find the firmware file and how to download to the ESB manually +
The TwinCAT3 beckhoff systems have a special version of TwinCAT installed - the "Runtime" version XAR (eXtended Automation Runtime). This differs from the full "Engineering version XAE that is installed in the front end and camera PCs in that it is the bare bones of TwinCAT for machine running purposes. '''It does not have the Visual Studio editor in it.'''
The runtime version may need updating to 3.4024.xx to allow the latest front end and PLC code to work +
On the 6015 PC, it is often supplied without EtherCAT drivers.
This tutorial describes how to install the drivers on a specific port to allow a "Device" to be found when scanning in a Visual Studio Project +
Older versions of Teamviewer are being phased out by the Teamviewer company from September 15th 2021. The advice on the website suggests you need to upgrade to version 15. However, v15 is not compatible with the older Windows XP machines in the field.
The latest XP compatible downloadable version of the Host program is 13.2 and is available [https://download.teamviewer.com/download/version_13x/TeamViewer_Host_Setup.exe here]
Regrettably, the update process on older versions is not simple, and frustratingly cannot be done remotely. It needs intervention from an operator at the machine with a small amount of technical know-how +
Auto calibration upon Power up on the ZD620 printers only works with V84.20.20Z or above, for this reason we may need to check the firmware version on the Printer. +

With the upgrade of the source code editor to Visual Studio 2017, and the associated security changes to Windows, many thing changed with the Windows .net libraries. In order to maintain the code, it needed to be upgraded.
This upgrade had major consequential effects:
# It was not compatible with windows XP any more due to security issues
# A new version of Workbench needs to be installed
<br/> +
Version A of this assembly has been superseded by this version, due to lack of material availability in version A. The new version is provides exactly the same functionality, is fully backwards compatible and is designed to be replaced as a complete sub-assembly.
The driver behind this upgrade is that the 2 main tubes are no longer available in the tolerances that they were. This has resulted in some not fitting inside the other, making assembly impossible. Therefore we have changed the sizes of the smaller tube (new part is D0015949 - Telescopic Pusher (2021)), and as a result updated the "top hat" (new part is D0015950 - Spring Retainer Top Hat (2021)) that fits in the end of it.
If any version of this pusher fails in the field, for any reason, it needs to be replaced with the latest version of R0000677B +
The original style of conveyor is used on many machines, but the motor that powers it is no longer available. This guide will allow a different motor/gearbox to be used. +
Update 2024 - Upgrades now consist of a new Windows 11 PC with VM for the front end and a C6017 PC for the back end.
Upgrading an Autoflow to Windows 10 involves upgrading two PCS
#The Beckhoff control PC - replaced with a C0001225-KIT
#The Camera PC - replaced with a C0000422-KIT with a VM setup. this now becomes the front end PC
<br/>
=== For Historical reference, these are the pre-2024 notes: ===
''Upgrading an Autoflow to Windows 10 on site involves upgrading two PCS''
#''The Beckhoff control PC''
#''The Camera PC''
''<br/>
The Beckhoff PC is not upgradable so needs to be completely replaced. We use the miniature [https://www.beckhoff.com/english.asp?industrial_pc/c6017.htm Beckhoff C6017] for this''
''It is not cost effective to upgrade and old camera PC, so a new one is supplied''
===''Notes''===
*''The Beckhoff PC is now powerful enough to run the front end and back end.''
*''The camera PC is there to replace the camera PC on site and contains the storage for the machine cameras''
*''Because the Beckhoff PC has limited hard drive space, the DDRIVE will be on the cameraPC'' +
With the development of full colour ranges for profiles, the older flowline opto sensors often have trouble "seeing" the darker profiles. An upgrade kit is available (R0019014) to replace the optical sensors with an ultrasonic version

The ZX3 and ZX4 machines that have control systems that pre-date the Beckhoff hardware now have an upgrade available. The upgrade will bring up-to-date hardware to the machines control system and drives. The control system and drives will be changed to Beckhoff. TwinCAT 3 PLC and AX8000 series drives. +

This has now been superseded with TwinCAT3 which then has the benefit of compatibility with version 6 front end software.<br /><br />The original PC cannot be used because<br /><br />*It is not powerful enough to run v6 front end<br />*The operating system cannot be upgraded to Windows 10<br />*It cannot be upgraded to TwinCAT3<br /><br /><br />The Beckhoff C6015 PC has been chosen to be the replacement PC. It is compact, yet powerful enough to run the v6 front end and TwinCAT in the same <br />. It has an upgrade to 1.9Ghz 4 core processor.<br /><br />Because it has a limited 40Gb SSD memory, a compact 64Gb memory stick is inserted into the USB 3.0 port. This acts as a separate drive for the DDRIVE dynamic storage for all machine setup. The internat drive is for the Operating System only. This mimics the current Autoflow setup of a remote Camera PC, hence the camera PC can be retired after the upgrade<br/> +

<div class="icon-instructions-text">...TwinCAT2 was used on Early Autoflows and ZX3/4 machines before the adoption of TwinCAT3. Instead of a Visual Studio interface, it uses a program called "TwinCAT PLC Control" to download the PLC project</div>

Because this upgrade is normally done to include source control directly in the project, you will have to also upgrade the Git Credential manager, as the one installed as party of the TcXAEShell has a bug in it +

The upgrade is to prep the machine ready for adding a Virtual Mahine (VM) to the setup. +
As an alternative to having a separate camera PC. Adding a VM (Virtual Machine) to the Front end allows access to the BE and cameras without interrupting the operator. +

When Windows Boots up and WinMulti is started the TwinCat PLC is not in Run mode ready for the application. The Run mode of Twin cat normally takes between 70 to 90 seconds.
WinStartDelay is a piece of software which delays Winmulti Starting up until the Amount of Time Delay needed has been run.

The version 6 software has a feature to identify the colour of the profile and also to help operators load foiled profile in the correct orientation.

<br/>
# Via the Machine Settings->Colours Tab
# From Bar Queue whenever a new colour is encountered.
