I cannot tell which inspection recipe our UR5e handover expects

Our inspection handover shows pendant pages for the bracket routine, but the recipe is selected outside those pages. The integrator is still available and I want the missing bits while we can ask them. I have the job files, not only pictures. Correction, I have a folder labelled current; I cannot match its revision to the screenshots. The ordinary PLC signals and fixture version are missing too. Where would you start making this usable for the next person?

Start with one identified working job. Can the integrator match your folder to the installed version?

They can compare it, Pavel. I've sent the folder and asked them to identify the installed job separately, so we don't just bless the name current.

I'd follow one bracket through the whole call chain. Main routine, called subprograms, recipe selection, result coming back. My fixture sketches used to stop at the nice obvious bit where the part was sitting down. Then somebody asked what told the rest of the job it was the right part. Fair question. Not much of an answer in the sketches.

Which fixture feature distinguishes the bracket versions? A recipe list alone will not show that.

Henry's point matters. If two brackets can sit in the same nest, a beautiful recipe table can still leave the operator choosing by memory. I would want the actual selection method shown, including who changes it.

Henry, there is only one bracket version in this job, but two inspection recipes for different requested checks. Jack, tracing the calls found a missing subprogram in our folder. The integrator has supplied the matching set and identified its revision against the installed job.

Could the next person tell those two requested checks apart without asking whoever made the order?

Put that answer in the issued handover, not somebody's private teaching copy. I've seen the useful explanation stay in the trainer's folder while everyone else receives the screenshots.

Ben, not from our old notes. The work order names the requested check but the recipe screen uses shortened names. I've put the two pairs together and asked quality to confirm the mapping.

That missing subprogram would have had me chasing the wrong problem for ages. Are the ordinary PLC waits now attached to the stages where they occur, or still in a separate list?

Did quality confirm both name pairs?

A separate signal list is useful for maintenance, Jack. Operators also need the meaning at each waiting stage.

Pavel, quality confirmed one pair and corrected the other: we had copied the name of an older check. Jack, the draft now shows the ordinary waits beside the relevant stages, with a separate signal list for maintenance as Henry suggests.

That's a real catch. Does changing the shortened name need a software change, or can the handover show the current display exactly? I'd avoid a picture of what people wish the screen said.

We're keeping the current screen names in the handover, Hugo, with quality's descriptions alongside. No screen change is part of this update.

Who has tried finding a waiting stage using the draft? Someone who did not help write it would be useful.

A relief technician found the recipe mapping and the matching job set without me talking them through it. They couldn't find who to call for an unexpected wait, though. That's still missing; I've sent that specific gap to our cell owner. Thanks for pushing beyond the screenshots.
