(v. 5.4.9019)
The Data Collection Service (DCS) imports process state, specification limit, and subgroup information into the InfinityQS database using data acquired from the InfinityQS Data Management System (DMS).
A high-level functional description of this service is as follows:
- Acquire specific blocks of data from the data source (for example, DMS) at predetermined time intervals.
- Convert and write the measurement data blocks as subgroups into the InfinityQS database.
- Once configured and running, DCS is a fully automated data collection utility that requires no user interaction.
DCS runs as a service, so no user interaction is required and no user needs to be logged into the computer running the service.
DCS Data Collectors
In DCS, there are data collectors that write the specific data from the data source (for example, DMS) directly to the destination (InfinityQS database or IDEF file for EIS processing).
The available DCS data collectors are:
- Enact Lot Definition Data Collector. The Enact Lot Definition Data Collector acquires lot definitions from the data source (for example, DMS) and compiles them into Enact lots, with the lot status set to Created and associated with the Site.
- Enact Lot Status Data Collector. The Enact Lot Status Data Collector acquires lot data from the data source (for example, DMS) and compiles them into lot status data.
- Enact Part Definition Data Collector. The Enact Part Definition Data Collector acquires part definitions from the data source (for example, DMS) and compiles them into Enact parts.
- Enact Production Assignment Data Collector. The Enact Production Assignment Data Collector acquires process and part data from the data source (for example, DMS) and assigns parts to processes.
- Process State Data Collector. The Process State Data Collector acquires process states from the data source (for example, DMS) and compiles them into process states.
- Specification Limit Data Collector. The Specification Limit Data Collector acquires specification limits from the data source (for example, DMS) and compiles them into specification limits.
- Subgroup Data Collector. The Subgroup Data Collector acquires live data from the data source (for example, DMS) and compiles it into subgroups.
DCS Interface
Activity State
The icon to the left of DCS Data Collector name indicates the activity state of the configuration, as follows:
DCS Data Collector is disabled.
DCS Data Collector is enabled. No data processed since being enabled or DCS service started.
(Icon solid) DCS Data Collector is enabled. Has processed data within the past 60 seconds, but not currently processing data.
DCS Data Collector is enabled. Data processed within the last 60 seconds contains one or more non-fatal warnings. After 60 seconds of no warnings, the status LED switches back to green.
DCS Data Collector is enabled. Data processed within the last 60 seconds contains one or more fatal errors. After 60 seconds of no errors, the status LED switches back to green.
(Icon flashing) DCS Data Collector is enabled. Currently processing data.
Configuration Status
DCS displays configurations as Enabled or Disabled.
- Enabled. The configuration is enabled and can write data from the data source (for example, DMS) to the destination (InfinityQS database or IDEF file for EIS processing).
- Disabled. The configuration is disabled and cannot write data from the data source (for example, DMS) to the destination (InfinityQS database or IDEF file for EIS processing).
Configuration State
DCS displays configurations as Running or Inactive.
- Running. The configuration is running, writing data from the data source (for example, DMS) to the destination (InfinityQS database or IDEF file for EIS processing).
- Inactive. The configuration is inactive, and will not write data from the data source (for example, DMS) to the destination (InfinityQS database or IDEF file for EIS processing).
