Planned time

When you start an order in eTouch the planned time calculated is the time which is shown. If Balthzar is connected to Monitor it will be calculated according to the example below, unless locations are used. Here is more information on how to start work orders in eTouch.

All current running orders planned cycle time will be accumulated into what is shown as sum_plan_c, see below:

[Unit] / ((sum_plan_c*recalculation factor planned item time / cycle recalculation factor)).

[Unit] above is 3600 for "Quantity per hour" and 60 for "Quantity per minute".

Recycle factors for planned item time and cycles is not defined on the current machine and are usually set up to be "1" if no special circumstances says otherwise.

The setting for Cycle recalc factors is found via "Client" -> "Administration" -> "System settings" -> "Basic data" -> "Machines" -> "Machine parameters 1".

This is also used by several different special functions. Each special functions has its own documentation.
