Loadout Settings (scales, user types, silos, loadout stations)

SCALES

You need to create a scale for each Silo scale, but don't need to create the Batch scales if it's a Batch plant.

1. Go to System Administrator -> Configuration -> Devices/Scales -> Scales.

Make sure your General and Interface tabs match the yellow fields below for each scale.

General tab:

Interface tab:

USER TYPES

1. Go to System Administrator -> Configuration -> User Data -> User Types.
2. Select @ TRUCK ASSIGN
3. While Type and Description can be any value, Abbreviations are read as specific types of Loadouts:

Description	Abbreviation
Batch to Truck	1
Silop to Truck	3
Ground Loading	0

It is a good idea to set up all 3 assign types shown in the next section, even if you are not using all 3, for future use.

BINS / SILOS

You will need to create a Silo in Apex for each Silo you have and one for a Batch plant if you have it.

1. Go to Products/Inventory -> Bins/Silos/Stockpiles.
2. Make sure the General and Loadout tabs have the highlighted yellow field matching.

Note that we no longer need to set the Silos alias as scale_id:silo_id with Libra Connected.

Load Stations

 

One Load station is needed per Assign Type in use. Use the same naming convention as Assign Types. It is a good idea to set up all 3 assign types shown below, even if you are not using all 3, for future use.

1. Go to Products/Inventory -> Load Stations.
2. Make sure the General and Loadout tabs have the highlighted yellow field matching.
