Specify the machine and add programming

Important

Before you can set up for machine programming, your factory resources must be defined (factories, areas, and workstations). See Create a factory and set up factory resources for more information. See your FactoryLogix administrator for help setting up factory resources before you set up machine programming.

Use the following procedure to specify a machine type and add programming.

Log into the FactoryLogix Office client application.
Select Process Engineering > Define Processes, then locate and double-click the desired product or assembly to open its process definition.
Expand the Line Programming node at the bottom of the process tree.
Right-click Line Programming, then select Add Programming from the menu.
In the Add Programming dialog, select Program a Machine.
Use the Browse (...) button to select the Operation in the process flow from which part assignments should be derived, then select OK.
Use the Browse (...) button to select the Machine (the workstation used for this operation), then select OK to add the machine programming entries to the Process tree at the bottom under Line Programming.

The machine type you selected now displays under Line Programming at the bottom of the Process tree as shown in the following illustration.
