This activity allows you to create and modify the link id information. In continuous production, all material flow between process units and / or warehouse happens through links like pipelines, conveyor belt etc. Each link is identified in the system as a link id. The point of connection of two links is referred to as a link node. Both the link id and link node are considered as physical elements and are defined in the “Physical Model” business component. The link ids and link nodes can also be defined in this component by selecting the appropriate options.
In this activity, various input / output details related to the link for each process units are defined.
Select the “Maintain Link ID Information” link under the “Continuous Process Model“ business component.
The “Maintain Link ID Information” page appears.
