1.3 Printing Tables / Exporting Data to Excel

The user interface provides two printing modes:

• Simple printout:
Simple hardcopy of current screen
• Extended printout:
Printout of hardcopy, data in tabular format and export of screen data to Excel
It is possible to switch between the two modes by configuring the general parameters ( Customizing(User)
> General parameters > GUI_PDE > PRINT_FLAG ):
Parameter value = 0 - Simple printout
Parameter value = 1 - Extended printout

Simple printout “Hardcopy”:

If the printout is started here, a hardcopy of the current screen is sent to the computer’s default printer in
the form of a diagram.

Extended printout “Tables / Export to Excel”:

When the extended printout is selected a dialog box is first displayed.

The printing mode can be selected on the left-hand side:

• Screen hardcopy:
A hardcopy of the current screen is sent to the computer’s default printer in the form of a diagram.
This printing mode is available for all screens.
• Print as table:
The data in the screen is printed in the form of a table with a header line and multiple pages.
This printing mode is only available if it is supported by the current screen.
• Create export file for Excel:
The data in the screens is written to a “csv” file, which can be imported into Excel.
The export to Excel is only available if it is supported by the current screen.
When using the “Hardcopy” and “Tables” printing modes a printer can be chosen on the right-hand side of
the screen and “Portrait” or “Landscape” format selected.
The export file path and name can be specified on the right-hand side of the screen when exporting to
Excel.

Notes:
• The ‘Print’ function is only available if at least one local or network printer has been set up on the
computer.
• The Excel export file is created in ‘csv’ format (Comma Separated Values), which can be viewed
using any text editor.
If Microsoft Excel is installed, Excel can be started by double clicking on the file. The data will then
be displayed in an Excel spreadsheet.

2 General Information on Handling

2.1 Note On Mouse Operation

All references to the meaning of the left and right mouse button relate to the standard right-handed mouse
settings, as stored in the Windows control panel. If left-handed mouse button settings have been made,
please take this into consideration when performing the described operations.

2.2 The Help System

A help system is available in the MDA applications for providing assistance in the individual work phases.
It is activated by pressing function key F1 in the top row of keys on the keyboard.
The help is context sensitive, i.e. the help information that appears relates to the screen that is currently
being displayed. The first thing that appears when the help system is activated by pressing F1 is a
description of the current screen.
Clicking the mouse on terms that are displayed in green brings up the relevant help topic, and clicking on
the Back button returns you to the previous help topic. The Back button can be found at the top edge of

2.3 Definition of Machines and Units

Machines and units are defined using the customizing facility.

A machine is classified in MDA using the following information:
PLANT
The four-digit “PLANT” code is used to classify machines that are all in the same plant or building.
MACHINE
Machines can consist of several units. One of the units in the machine is defined as the “Main
Unit”.
UNIT
As well as the main unit, each machine can have several other units representing parts of the
machine such as a feeder, a grinding spindle etc.

2.4 Calculating the OEE Indicators

The OEE indicators are calculated using the external “OEECalculate” program.
The calculation of the OEE indicators can be adapted in a project-specific way in this program. The
description in this chapter relates to the version of the “OEECalculate” program that is supplied as
standard in MDA.

OEE indicator Formulas:

The OEE indicators provided in the standard are calculated using the following formulas:
Utilization = TPROD / TTARG * 100 %
Availability = (TTARG– TPROB) / TTARG * 100 %
Output = ( ∑Material (Total-UnitMaterial * Targ-CycleTimeMaterial) ) / (TTarg - TPROB) * 100 %
Quality = (∑Material (Total-UnitMaterial – Scrap-UnitMaterial)) / (∑Material Total-UnitMaterial) * 100 %
OEEMachine = Availability * Output * Quality / 1,000,000
MTBF = TPROD / Number of Faults
MTTR = Duration of Faults / Number of Faults

TPROD Useful operating time: machine/unit productive operating time

TTARG Planned utilization time: is the time during which operation of the machine/aggregate was planned
according to the plant schedule
TPROB is the time during which there were technical problems on the machine/unit

Planning data parameters:

The program reads the following parameters from the customizing data:
• Flag indicating whether works calendar being used:
General parameters > GLOB > WITH_SHIFT
This parameter defines how the planned utilization time is calculated (see below).
• Flag indicating whether BDE data acquisition is taking place (quantities, part types):
General parameters > GLOB > WITH_BDE_ACQUISITION
This parameter defines how the number of units and the target cycle time are calculated (see
below).

With plant schedule: time types option:

The “time types” option is used to define the works calendar time types to which the evaluation relates.
The following restrictions apply:
‘Current’ period
The customized time types are not taken into consideration. The entire duration is analyzed in all
cases.
‘Shift’, ‘Day’, ‘Week’, ‘Month’, ‘Year’ period
The customized time types are taken into consideration when calculating the useful operating time,
the general faults and technical faults.
You can select either “Entire period”, in which case data is accumulated for the entire period, or
one or more time types such as “Working Time”, “Break”, “Free Time” etc. In this case the data is
accumulated in the period for these time types.
For example, this can be used to calculate what the OEE indicators were during working hours.

Time type selection is independent of status group.

© Siemens AG 2000-2003 All Rights Reserved 2-3

Part Type Evaluations MDA Machine/Cell/Plant

Calculation of planned utilization time TTARG:

with plant schedule (WITH_SHIFT = 1)

- ‘Shift’, ‘Day’, ‘Week’, ‘Month’, ‘Year’ period
TTARG = Total time for “Working Time” time type for all statuses

Times in “DAUER_0" column in the “SCHICHTSUMME", “TAGESSUMME" tables are totaled...

The customized utilization time and time types are ignored in this case.

Note: the planned utilization time for free shifts and maintenance shifts is 0 with “Shift”
compression.

- ‘Current’ period
TTARG = Total duration of all customized statuses

In this case the times in the “DAUER_SEK” column are totaled in the reports for all statuses
that were marked in the “Planned utilization time” column when the OEE indicators were
planned.
The time type customization is ignored in this case.

Without plant schedule (WITH_SHIFT = 0)

TTARG = Total duration of all customized statuses

In this case the times in the “DAUER_SEK” column in the “TAGESSUMME” tables are totaled for
the statuses that were marked in the “Planned utilization time” column when the OEE indicators
were customized.

Quantity calculations:
If BDE Acquisition (WITH_BDE_ACQUISITION = 1) is being used, the part type quantities in the
BDE_SCHICHTSUMME”, “BDE_TAGESSUMME”, ... tables are totaled.
The total quantity is calculated from the sum total of the “DE_DELTA_A_S“, “DE_DELTA_B_S“
and “DE_DELTA_C_S“ columns.
The scrap quantity is taken from the “DE_DELTA_B_S“ column.
• If BDE Acquisition (WITH_BDE_ACQUISITION = 0) is not being used, the machine/unit
quantities in the “SCHICHTSUMME“, “TAGESSUMME“, ... tables are totaled.
The total quantity is calculated from the sum total of the “DE_VAL_A”, “DE_VAL_B“ and
“DE_VAL_C“ columns for all statuses in the period.
The scrap quantity is taken from the “DE_VAL_B“ column.

Target cycle time calculations:

• If BDE Acquisition (WITH_BDE_ACQUISITION = 1) is being used, the part type target cycle
times in the “BDE_SCHICHTSUMME“, “BDE_TAGESSUMME“, ... tables are totaled.
The target cycle time is taken from the “CYCLE_TOT_TARG“ columns. If this column is
unoccupied, the actual cycle time “CYCLE_TOT_ACT“ is used instead of the target cycle time.
• If BDE Acquisition (WITH_BDE_ACQUISITION = 0) is not being used, the machine/unit cycle time
is used. If this is 0, the output is set to 0%.

Notes:
If the planned utilization time TTARG is equal to the technical fault time TPROB, the output is set to ‘0’.
If the planned utilization time TTARG = 0, this period is not displayed (e.g. free shifts, maintenance
shifts).
