Bug Fixes

PNE-1855

https://slxdev.atlassian.net/browse/PNE-1855?filter=10130

Previously when certain fields were changed in PEConfig this also inadvertently changed the Ping Frequency in PEConfig. This has been fixed so that this does not occur.

New Features / Status on Long-term Work:

PROD-186

https://slxdev.atlassian.net/browse/PROD-186?filter=10130

Introducing Custom Areas for Whiteboard. Users are able to create customized groupings of machines (“Custom Areas”) for custom reporting purposes. Machines in these areas are duplicates of machines in regular areas. These custom areas are available in Whiteboard.

PNE-1871

https://slxdev.atlassian.net/browse/PNE-1871?filter=10130

Currently TrueForMinutes(id, expr, minutes) resets as soon as expr evaluates to true. Certain Customers' OPC math has need for the this to continue to return true as long as expr returns true (and it has been at least minutes minutes).

Additionally, prevent AlarmOn/ AlarmOff from toggling when signal hasn’t actually changed. This occurs when several alarms are a simple tag == numeric constant expression and are internally reduced to a “switch” type statement.

PNE-1860

https://slxdev.atlassian.net/browse/PNE-1860?filter=10130

Job based dashboards were excluding results where the machine or line has no Job assigned. This feature enables seeing those jobless results in a job-based report by collecting all jobless data under “N/A”. “N/A” appears in both Job Name and Job Instance (and “N/A” always appears as the first selectable value in filter lists).

PNE-1849

https://slxdev.atlassian.net/browse/PNE-1849?filter=10130

The ability to reference Job Values (from jobs created in Whiteboard) in OPC math has been added.

PNE-1726

https://slxdev.atlassian.net/browse/PNE-1726?filter=10130

Added the ability through OPC math to allow oscillating run/idle to be configured as all idle until the machine can enter a steady running state based on a constant speed.
