Description
Eliminate Decision Based on Ext. Attribute Spacing eliminates a decision using spacing by attribute counts for extended attributes.
This function block has an Item Class Array point ID parameter that lists the item class for each attribute. Only items that belong to the specified item class will be considered for the corresponding rule.
Once the count exceeds the rule, the count is reset.
Parameters
This function block has the following parameters:
Parameter |
Description |
Item Class Array |
Name of array point that lists item class of the item that contains the attribute. Specify the class of the items to be considered or leave blank for all items. |
Attribute Name Array |
Name of the array point that stores the names of the extended attributes to be compared. Note: The values of corresponding element in the Attribute Value array is compared with the value for that attribute (if found) of the specified item, i.e. the value of the corresponding element in the Attribute Value Array point is compared to the extended attribute value of the head item of the source region(s). |
Attribute Value Array |
Name of the array point that contains the Attribute value(s). Each element can contain one or multiple values with a comma separator. Do not include quotes. For example: element 0 = 1 ton,3/4 ton element 1 = K |
Spacing Rule Array |
Name of the array point that stores the number of jobs with different extended attribute values that must be processed between two jobs having the corresponding attribute value(s). |
Spacing Count Array |
The number of jobs released since a job with the corresponding extended attribute value was released. |
Breakable Array |
Name of the array point that stores a Breakable Flag element for each rule. If breakable (element = 1) and all sources are eliminated, roll back the decisions eliminated during the comparison by one set of related elements. |
