LINK Systems LinkNet II - Manual (Page 43)

4.10 Material Configuration
Material, if desired, can
be associated with jobs that
run on machines. Figure 3.2
shows the relationship
between a machine, tooling,
material, a job, and a part.
Figure 4.24: Material Listing
To configure material,
select “Configure” and then
“Material” from the LinkNet
menu. A material listing
similar to Figure 4.24 will
appear. The listing shows the
material number and material
description of all currently
configured material. Buttons
at the bottom of the list box
are also provided to add, edit,
or delete material.
Note: Material is an optional configuration item. It is not necessary to configure material for LinkNet
to track production and down time data. If configured, however, the material can be associated with job
runs.
4.10.1 Adding Material
Figure 4.25: Material Configuration General Settings Dialog Box
To add material, hit the “Add
Material” button at the bottom of
the material listing as shown in
Figure 4.24. A dialog box
similar to Figure 4.25 should
appear. Note that this dialog box
has “tabs” along the top showing
“General”, “Physical
Characteristics”,
“Miscellaneous”, and “Notes”.
Each of these tabs, when hit, will
bring up a different page of
options for the material. The
following sections detail each
page of settings.
