Unlike “custom” production scoreboards and andon displays the XL600 Kaizen tool is a true “bolt-on” design that can be configured in minutes to show any of its 100+ process variables – without PLCs, costly custom software or time consuming integration. With as little as two sensors you can develop a wealth of real-time production data for visual display and to be delivered to your network via the integrated Ethernet port. Imagine real-time, right-now plant floor visibility anywhere in your plant – all delivered through a simple web browser!
• Expose lost capacity
• Increase productivity
• Reduce unplanned downtime
The XL600 Kaizen tool can easily pay for itself in just minutes of recovered downtime or increased efficiency. Ultra-bright displays, on-board production monitoring, Ethernet communications and web browser access to real-time production data – all in a single low-cost package.
It's simple to install, easy to understand and fast to show results!
Key Features
|
• Highly visible 2.3" 6-digit fields |
• 100+ real-time process variables |
Popular Applications
The XL600 Kaizen tool is an extremely powerful visual display with literally limitless configurations. Any of the 100+ process variables can be combined on the available data fields to develop a display that fits your specific needs. Use color change and/or flash to further enhance your real-time data.
The following represents a brief list of popular applications:
| Data Fields | Description |
|---|---|
| Target Count Actual Count % Efficiency |
This popular configuration (shown above) provides a takt-based target field, an actual count and a calculated percent efficiency. The real-time nature of this display helps operators pace the line and meet goals. Variants of this product include Target/Actual/Difference from Goal or Piece Variance. The Target can also be displayed as a static job or shift goal. |
| Goal Count Actual Count % Efficiency Total Down Time |
This configuration uses the four-line version of the XL600 Kaizen tool to add the total downtime variable for even more real-time process information. Knowing how much down time has occurred can help to drive improvement programs. |
| Cycle Time Last Cycle Time Average Cycle Time |
A great tool for processes with critical cycle times or applications where the cycle time can be improved significantly by reducing load times such as metal stamping operations. |
| Run Time Down Time Setup Time Standby Time |
Show all critical manufacturing time in one place. This display helps to control downtime, reduce setup/changeover time and accurately track actual Run and Standby Time. Run, Down and Standby times are automatically tracked in the XL600 Kaizen tool. Setup can be entered at the flip of a switch. |
| OEE % Availability % Performance % Quality % |
See all critical OEE percentages at a glance! A tremendous tool for those seeking to improve the bottom line by increasing efficiency through OEE. Additionally, any or all of the 100+ process variables developed in the XL600 Kaizen tool can be seen via a simple web browser using FREE Display-Pro® XL web server. |
| OEE % Good Count Reject Count Run Time Down Time Average Cycle Time |
The six-line XL600 Kaizen tool offers a tremendous amount of real time production data in an easy-to-read format. This configuration delivers key performance indicators that have become focused areas for improvement. Any of the fields can easily be reprogrammed at any time to show any of the 100+ process variables developed in the XL600 Kaizen tool. |
Product Description
The XL600 Kaizen tool is an incredibly flexible power-packed platform that integrates six products for the price of one display:
• Visual Display that informs, alerts and
motivates
• Production Monitor with plug-and-play
simplicity
• I/O Processor that's programmable and
expandable
• Communication Hub with Ethernet, RS-232, and
RS-485
• Program Executioner with point-and-click
configuration
• Data Warehouse with hundreds of data registers
Visual Display
Ultra-bright 2.3" red or tricolor LEDs provide vibrant data output, outstanding brightness and an exceptionally wide viewing angle. Dynamic control over display fields links real-time events to how data is formatted and displayed. Flash data for immediate attention by operators and supervisory staff. Change color to call out changing status.
Removable/reversible legend plates make it simple to reconfigure display fields. Dozens of standard terms are available, and custom terms can also be ordered. Or simply reverse the plate and add your own legend.
Integrated Production Monitoring
One of the many innovative features of the XL600 Kaizen tool is the fully integrated real-time production monitor. Eight built in modules provide out-of-the-box focused data to help you understand and manage your production. Integration couldn't be easier. Add one or two sensors and you get a wealth of information! And it's scalable. Each item you add returns more data.
| You Provide… | You Get… |
|---|---|
| One Sensor | Total Pieces, OEE Availability Current and Average Rate Cycle Time, Last Cycle, Average Cycle Run Time, Event Run Time Down Time, Event Down Time, Pieces to Goal |
| Second Sensor | Good/Reject Pieces, OEE Quality Good/Reject Percent, Good/Reject Rates |
| Takt Time | Target Count, Takt Timer Piece/Time Variance, Efficiency |
| Ideal Cycle Time | Target Cycle, OEE Performance Standard Cycles and Time Reduced Speed Cycles and Time Small Stop Cycles and Time |
| Goal Count | Pieces to Goal, Percent of Goal |
| Setup Switch | Setup Time, Event Setup Time |
| Time Schedule | Standby Time, Event Standby Time Remaining Time (for breaks) |
I/O Processor Features
Every XL600 Kaizen tool comes standard with six high-speed inputs and one relay output. Expand your I/O with a sixteen input expansion card and/or a six relay output card. Inputs can trigger internal counters, process timers or programs. Programs also let inputs act as “soft buttons” that change the operation of the display based on conditions that you define (e.g. a break on-the-fly button).
Relay outputs are for annunciation only, and are not designed or intended for control applications.
Three concurrent communication ports provide multiple options for reading and writing data to the XL600 Kaizen tool:
• 10/100 Ethernet (for the ultimate in
data acquisition)
• RS-232 (single point connections to 57,600 bps)
• RS-485 (multiple point connections to 115,200 bps)
Program Executioner Features
A powerful set of commands allows you to “customize” your application by connecting triggers to programs. Triggers can be generated from inputs, setpoints, time schedules, com ports, production mode changes, etc. When a trigger is received, the associated program is executed.
Up to 1,000 programs can be created by simply stringing together predefined high-level commands to achieve your desired operation. There are dozens of commands available, including timer and relay control, numeric and string data manipulation, math operations, display screen control, and much more.
Example Applications:
• Drive a stack light based on
line speed or down time
• Create a sixteen input counter
• Perform data conversions (e.g. Celsius to
Fahrenheit)
• Create a maintenance call button with wait timer
Data Warehouse Features
A unified and structured data register architecture supports both numeric and textual data, making it particularly easy to acquire and track critical data. Hundreds of 32-bit signed numeric registers can be loaded with information from your PLCs, ERP system and other sources. This data can be seamlessly reflected back to the Display-Pro® XL web server for plant-wide viewing. The full set of process variables tracked by the XL600 Kaizen tool are also available for real-time data acquisition through any of the three communication ports.
