X-out and BLKTAG
In a biscuit board one or more biscuits may be unpopulated (X Out). The
Biscuit Skip system option enables the system to skip the unpopulated
areas. This option works differently for off-line systems than for in-line
systems.
When this option is enabled in off-line systems, the user is allowed to
interactively select the biscuit or biscuits needed to be skipped from the map
view every time a new board is loaded in. In the case of in-line systems, the
user will check the by label box. This instructs the system to search for a
marker for the biscuit. If the marker is there, the biscuit will be inspected. A
biscuit marker can be trained by training a Device with a Ref.ID of xx-
BLKTAG. For example, the biscuit label for biscuit 1 would be 01-BLKTAG. To
skip a biscuit the user may place a label to cover its biscuit marker.
Here are the basic steps to create the Board Setup for a palletised board on
an inline system:
1. File, New Board Setup to begin the process, defines the board size as the
entire board that includes all the sub-boards.
2. CAD Import to create the training for the first sub board. We will call this
sub-board, the Master Biscuit.
3. Used Biscuit Copy and Paste to copy the training to all the sub boards.
4. Identify the X-out label for the Master Biscuit, train it as if it is a Device, and
give it a reference id: BLKTAG.
5. Add BLKTAG to library, and give it a fictitious Device number, e.g.
PN_BLKTAG
6. In System Option, Enable Biscuit Skip and by label.
