TPM Unscheduled

TPM Unscheduled Time objects are used to inform the OEE Equipment Monitor object about when and why an equipment, which had been scheduled for production before, had to be unscheduled again.

This configuration object type can be created on Site, Area and Cell level.

A fully configured Site Configuration object is required for this configuration object to work properly.

Creating a TPM Unscheduled Configuration Object

To create a TPM Unscheduled Configuration object, in the ISA-95 Equipment Model right click on the intended parent object of one of the types listed above ('The OEE Demo Cell' in the example) and select Admin  New  TPM  Unscheduled Configuration to open the Create Unscheduled Configuration wizard.

Enter a suitable name, and -optionally- a description for the object. Then click Next to continue.

When you have entered all periods, where this part of the enterprise had to be unscheduled, click OK to close the table and Apply to create the Unscheduled Configuration object in the ISA-95 Model.

In this example, the object was created for 'The OEE Demo Cell' so this configuration object is shown underneath this cell object.

Linking the TPM Unscheduled Configuration to the OEE Equipment Monitor

If no Unscheduled Configuration Source is configured in its Configuration Options, the OEE Equipment Monitor will use the very first Unscheduled Configuration object, which it finds when traversing the ISA-95 Equipment Model tree upwards.

To specify the TPM Unscheduled Configuration which shall be taken into account by the OEE Equipment Monitor, go to the Configuration Options section in the monitor’s properties, click on …​ for the Unscheduled Configuration Source to open the object picker in the ISA-95 Model.
