Considering different pattern loading conditions

Loading the entire pattern with one ticket is not always possible from the perspective of the process. Some of the cases that occur in practice:

Reload pattern

  1. You have prepared your pattern for the production and adapted the setup for the machine.
  2. You knit the same pattern again and again in lot sizes.
  3. You do not want the Setup to be overwritten when loading the ticket.
    1042
    Option 1.
    Generate a ticket with the tag DontReloadPattern=1.
  1. When loading the ticket, the existing pattern and the setup are maintained.
    Only the piece counter is set.
    2. 1043
    Option 2.
    Generate a ticket with the LOAD_PAT_CONTAINER_COMP tag with the attribute SET=0 and ERASE_ALL=0.
  2. An existing setup is not overwritten.
    3. 1044
    Option 3.
    The pattern container may not contain any Setup.
    Set ERASE_ALL=0 in the ticket.
    This option is appropriate for OKC machines with an operating system previous to V6.3.0.
  1. In all cases, the existing setup continues to be used.

Reload sequences

  1. You have prepared a sequence for the production and adapted the setup for the machine.
  2. You have applied private variables to the different patterns for sequence elements that are not able to manage the same values of the Setup parameters and you use only one Setup for all sequence elements.
  3. You do not want the Setup to be overwritten when loading the ticket.
    The pattern files do not contain any setup files.
    1045
    You create an order with the tag ERASE_ALL=0.
  1. An existing setup is not overwritten.

Reload jacquards

  1. You want to load a Sintral program into the memory and to load only the jacquard by the tickets in the APM.
    1046
    You modify your Sintral code somewhat to be able to activate the APM mode before the production relevant jacquard is loaded via a ticket.
    Example:

        1 C Initial sintral sample for getting into APM mode without need of production jacquard
        2 C During production while MC is in APM mode, just jacquard can be loaded by a ticket
       10 START
       20 C Modify SEN to your need
       30 SEN=1-#138
       40 JA1=9999
       70 JA1 IFN JB='z' GOTO 200
       80 PRINT /Only initial Jacquard found in 9999/
      100 C Two empty rows since each program needs a knitting function
      110 S0
      120 S0
      130 END
      200 PRINT /Jacquard for production loaded/
      210 C Your main sintral code for knitting starts here
      220 S0
      230 S0
      240 END
 JAC 9999 z

    1047
    Prepare the machine for operating in the APM.
    Preparation of the autoproduction
    Preparation of the autoproduction
    1048
    Create an Auto Production order in PPS, specifying a pattern container (zip file) which contains a Jacquard file only. Set the ERASE_ALL tag to false.
    1049
    Make the other settings as usual.
    1050
    Assign the order to the prepared machine.
  1. The machine keeps Sintral and Setup, reloads the Jacquard and starts production.
