1．Introduction
1-1．Overview“Production Process Support Software for WCL series WCL plus” is a Windows-compatible application thatcan be used with a LAN connection type Andon receiver WCL-426R or WCL-920R*1 (hereinafter called“receiver”).
The receiver can wirelessly receive in real-time trouble occurrence reports transmitted from the AN426TⅡ/AN920T transmitter*2 installed at the workstations and machines of the production line and can externallyoutput the trouble occurrence reports via LAN.
By connecting WCL plus with receivers, you can save the trouble occurrence history received by up to 10
receivers in the CSV format and check the call status on the Web browser*3.
Also, by connecting WCL plus with an I/O unit, WCL plus can receive abnormal signals from equipment andtransmit them to other equipment by contact output.
* 1 : WCL-426R is available in the Japanese and Thai markets, and WCL-920R is available in the North
American market (US and Canada). For details of each product, refer to "WCL-426R Instruction Manual" or"WCL-920R Instruction Manual".
*2: At the transmitter, there are two selectable input methods for reporting trouble occurrences: one forworkers with four push-buttons (orange, red, green and white) and one for machines with four external
inputs (orange, red, green, and white). According to possible trouble occurrences in the production line, you
can assign each color a meaning, such as red for an exception occurrence, orange for parts out of stock,green for requesting transportation of finished products, or white for trouble solved.
*3: When using WCL-920R, CH must be set within the range of 1 to 10. When CH is set to 11-16, the callstatus cannot be checked using a Web browser. History data is saved regardless of the receiver's channel
setting.

The following operations are enabled by registering and setting the I/O unit in WCL plus.
・Input of an I/O unit allows for operation of the output port on the I/O unit that received the input or on
another I/O unit.
When receiving an input from a PLC or equipment, WCL plus notifies another PLC or equipment of troubles
or other messages from the output port.
Connection interface: Ethernet (RJ45)
Input

Communication protocol: TCP

OutputStatus check and setting interval of I/O port: Approx. 100ms
16 inputs (8 upper + 8 lower)
LAN

16 outputs (upper 8 + lower 8)

cableContact type: A contact
Required input time: 500 ms min.

■Basic specifications for I/O unit control-

Connections and Disconnections
As long as WCL plus is starting, it will attempt to connect to all registered I/O units.
This is done cyclically until a connection can be made, and works the same way if the connection isbroken. The connection is automatically disconnected when the WCL plus service is terminated or the
I/O unit registration is deleted.

-

The timing of the event occurring, which is triggered by the I/O port status
The I/O port and WCL plus are connected via TCP and controlled by a software. Actions in the unit ofmilliseconds (ms) or faster are not guaranteed.
In our ideal environment *1, it is confirmed that an event occurs within 500ms after the port changed
the status. However, the same level of performance is not guaranteed in all environments.

-

Control of operations on a single I/O unit, output I/O port
By setting, operations on the output I/O port of an I/O unit will reflect the result of the last operation.

-

Initial value of output I/O port
When the I/O unit and PC are connected, the I/O unit is initialized. As a result of initialization, all output
I/O ports are turned off .After initialization is completed, control by WCL plus starts.

-

When connection with the I/O unit is cut off during control of the output I/O port
When connection between the I/O unit and PC is cut off, the status at the time of being disconnected ismaintained until they are reconnected. When reconnected, all output I/O ports will be OFF due todevice initialization. After initialization is completed, control by WCL plus is restarted.

*1) The environment satisfies the system requirements and is capable of dominating the bandwidth, andwhere other applications do not start up.

Displays a maximum of 10 calls in the call groups in the order of occurrence.
Each time a call occurs, it is displayed in order from top left to top right andfrom bottom left to bottom right. If a call is cleared (by the (white)button 4 or
an external input.4), the corresponding call becomes hidden and the calls thathave occurred after the cleared call are crammed and displayed.
When a call has already occurred and another call from the same transmitteroccurs, the display location is not moved and only 6 is reset to 0 second.
When the number of calls exceeds 10, the window where the 10th call on thebottom right is displayed in gray background, and the number of calls thatwere hidden are displayed largely.
The calls from one transmitter are represented in a rectangular window.
The background color indicates which button (or externa input) of thetransmitter was pressed (applied).
This is the value that connects the CH/SET/UNIT/ID of the transmitter thatmade the call.
For example, if CH/SET/UNIT/ID is 2/1/2/5, the call number is 2125.
Helps identify the transmitter that made the call.
Displays the transmitter names corresponding to the call numbers(CH/SET/UNIT/ID). Register a transmitter name on the “Transmitter list
screen” from the Administration screen. The maximum length for thetransmitter name that can be displayed is 5 characters from the beginning.
The transmitter name is displayed as -, if it is not registered.

6Elapsed time since thecall occurred

Displays the time elapsed since the call occurred. The minimum display unit
is seconds, and the display increases with the passage of time to minutes,
hours, and days. Example: 1day 1hour 1minute 1second■Melody playback rules
If melody playback is "enabled" in the call group settings and the melody is selected when orange, red, or green
lights are lit melody will be played each time a call is made.
If multiple calls occur and multiple colored windows are displayed, the melody to be played will be determinedaccording to the "playback time" and "priority level" of the call group setting.
・When the playback time is "Consecutive".
The melody of the color set with the highest priority is played in a loop according to the "priority level" of the callgroup setting. If more than 10 calls have occurred, the melody in the color set with the highest priority among theorange, red, and green windows shown will be played (only the 1st-9th call will be considered).
・When the playback time is other than "Consecutive".
Of the orange, red, and green windows displayed, the melody of the color of the most recent call is played only
once for the specified time from the beginning. "Priority level" is not taken into account.
Note that if all calls are cleared during melody playback, melody playback will stop.
■Blocking melody playback through web browser settings
If the melody is not played even if a call occurs even though the melody playback is "enabled",Your web browser settings may block the melody playback.
Please change the setting of your web browser so that the melody is played.
Example of how to set up (details may vary depending on the version of your web browser)
1. Open the web browser settings window.
2. Under "Privacy and Security," click on "Site Settings."
3. Click on "Audio" under "Contents."
4. Add the URL of the call status confirmation screen to the site where audio is allowed to be played.
5. Display the call status confirmation screen and confirm that the melody is played (if it is already displayed,refresh it).
■Change of URL for call status confirmation screen
The call status confirmation screen does not require a login; anyone can view it as long as they know the URL. If
the URL is known to an unintended party, the following steps can be taken to change the URL and invalidate theprevious URL. After the URL change is completed, please notify the necessary persons of the changed URL.

1. After “Push button 1” was pressed, “Push button 4” was pressed.
→Reset the state of “Push button 1” (Returns to the state before trouble occurrence)
The output of the history data from the occurrence of the state of “Push button 1” to the reset of the state is
generated.

2. After “Push button 1” was pressed, “Push button 2” was pressed.
→The state of “Push button 1” is reset and the state of “Push button 2” occurs.
The output of the history data from the occurrence of the state of “Push button 1” to the reset of the state is
generated. The output of the history data of “Push button 2” is not generated until any push button other than
“Push button 2” is pressed.
3. After “Push button 1” was pressed, “Push button 1” was pressed again.
→The state of “Push button 1” occurs and does not change. The output of the history data of “Push button 1”
is not generated.

4. “Push button 4” was pressed when no trouble occurred.
→The state remains unchanged. “Push button 4” is used for resetting the state.

The output of the CSV file is generated in days. When the date changes while WCL plus is running, a new
file is created automatically and output is generated.
When the date changes during the time from the occurrence of the state until the reset of the state, output ofthe data is generated into the CSV file for the date of the state reset.

3-33．Backup of settings files
WCL plus manages all settings in a file. Backing up settings files makes it easier to migrate settings andrecover in the event of file corruption, so regular backups are recommended.
The settings files are *.csv, *.json, and *.dat in C:¥HERUTU¥WCL plus¥.

3-34．Troubleshooting
If you experience problems with your web browser, such as strange display, slow operation, or screen
stoppage, please "reload" or "restart" your web browser to see if the operation improves.
If the operation does not improve after "reloading" and "restarting" the Web browser, please restart WCL
plus from the "services administrative tool" to see if the operation improves (the call status will be cleared
after restarting).
If the behavior is still not improved, check the event log. The event log records a history of WCL plus's
internal operation, which is useful for identifying the cause of malfunctions.
Windows Event viewer
Open the “Event viewer” window from “Control Panel”.
In the “Search” bar of “Control Panel”, type “Event viewer”.

Click “View event logs”.
