Editing a device type

The Machine manager or Administrator can create a device type.
Only device types of third-party manufacturers or Stoll machine types created by you are editable.
The STOLL device types that are also delivered can only be viewed.
If in the SNS there is specified a Type ID for a device, but in the PPS is no suited device type, a basic type is created when importing this device, which can be completed with further details.

Editing a device type:

1: Click Configuration in the main menu.

2: Click on the Device types tab.

The device type list appears.

3: Select the desired device type in the device type list (1).

On the right appears an empty mask with the data of the selected device type.

4: Fill in the fields (2) Type name, Type, Mc class and if needed further fields.
(mandatory fields are marked with a *)

5: Enter the measure specifications in cm.

If it is not about a Stoll machine:

For Type name you can select a name the way it is to be displayed in lists as addition to the device or network name.
For Type you must select, whether it is a Stoll knitting machine (KNIT_MC), a production device (PD), a pattern workstation (M1) or a file server (FS).
The Mc class must be selected higher or equal to 5000. Each device type must have assigned its own number. The number must be selected identical to the one assigned in the SNS for Type Id. This is the only way that the device is assigned to this device type in the SNS when importing it into the PPS.
If you selected PD, you will first of all Save the entry of the device type.

The list of edit boxes is then extended by another field.

Mc type is available only for (PDs) and must be the same as the production device type in the SNS.
In the Manufacturer field may not appear STOLL

If it is about a Stoll machine:

If you must import a new Stoll machine, for which there is no device type available in the PPS, you have to create the device type for yourself.
For Type name it is possible to select the name that is printed on the machine.
For Type please select KNIT_MC.
The MC class must correspond to the Machine Class in the SNS.
In the Manufacturer field, you enter STOLL and first of all Save the entry of the device type.

The list of edit boxes is then extended by more fields.
As you fill out the fields refer to an existing type of a Stoll machine.

For Mc-Type the string must be specified exactly the same as it appears in the SNS for Machine Type.
For Control generation you enter TC, OKC or EKC depending on the machine control generation.
Specify whether the machine is equipped with a Belt take-down, Comb or Additional needle bed.
Enter the Number of carriages and the Number of knitting systems.

6: Enter the weight in kg

7: Click the Save button.

The device type data record is created or saved.

An image can be allocated to the device type.
The image is used in the device management.
Assign image to device type

Notice

The specified device type name must be unique.
In case it is already assigned, the STOLL PPS will inform it.
Entered and not yet saved data can be undone with Reject changes.
An update of the PPS, where a manually created type is known, replaces the manually created type.
