Standard Functionalities
The Engineering uses the Standard type functionalities to perform minor adjustments on the input and output components, based on process requirements such as to rotate a sheet component so that it can fit into another Production Group. The Production Groups that have these functionalities must not have a linked activity type or cost, so that they will be “invisible” in the Engineering. The following functionalities must always be recorded so the Engineering correctly creates a route. The Standard functionalities are:
1008 – Sheet Rotator
1012 – Element Adapter
1043 – Page Division Adapter
1077 – Association adapter
Note Find this functionality's description at Using Components Association - .
1088 - Versioning Adapter
1089 – Plant change adapter
Note Find this functionality's description at Using Features For Multi-Plant - Add functionality to the production group.
Find bellow the detailed information of each functionality:
1008 – Sheet Rotator
|
Use |
|
|
The 1008 – Sheet Rotator functionality is used to rotate sheet-type components. It may be necessary to rotate the sheet for different reasons such as the sheet width may be too large for entering the next Production Group, although the height fits well. In this case the Engineering simulates a change in the sheet’s position, so it can enter the machine. |

1012 – Element Adapter
|
Use |
|
|
The 1002 – Element Adapter functionality is used to change the engineering component type between functionalities, as necessary. For example, for a 4 pages folded signature that needs to go through trilateral trimming. If the folding functionality produces Engineering sheet type components and the trilateral functionality accepts only compound type components, it is necessary to use the Element Adapter to change the sheet component into a compound component, keeping the consistency between components and processes.

1043 – Page Division Adapter
|
Use |
|
|
The Engineering uses the 1043 – Page Division Adapter functionality to automatically divide the pages of an element that has the signature format and requires collection or gathering. This adapter is required to make it possible to simulate all pages combination possibilities, based on the folding schemes available. For example, if a book has 32 pages, the page division simulation will be: 32 pages 2 x 16 pages 4 x 8 pages 1 x 16 + 2 x 8 pages And so on. To manually determine the pages of division, it is necessary to use the Pages Division Specification Characteristic Class. The Engineering automatically selects the collecting or gat, which activates the Page Division Adapter functionality. For more information, refer to "Specification Characteristic Types – Pages Division” in iQuote User Guide – Product Specification Records. It is possible for the Engineering to simulate blank pages. For example, when the book has 10 pages and it is not possible to calculate it with 10 pages, the Engineering can simulate 12 pages, being 2 blank, which is the maximum limit of blank pages automatically calculated by the system. |
