System Configuration

Example of a Fixed File Structure in a Manufacturing
Process
A fixed file structure in the manufacturing process is distinguished by the fact that
the individual SLGs only perform READ or WRITE/UPDATE functions on the MDS.
Commands such as DIR, MDS-STATUS, ASM/SLG-STATUS, DELETE, FORMAT
or CREATE are only carried out at "i-points" (information points) in the system in
order to check the incoming and outgoing MDSs. Further advantages of this
system configuration:
S Time-consuming operations such as FORMAT occur at the "i-point" and not in
the production process.
S Since the same file structure is present on every MDS, this can be written to the
MDS at the "i-point".
S If the file structures on the MDS are structured accordingly, the checksum (and
thus also the directory + FAT) always remains the same. By using the LOAD
and MOVE commands an MDS can also be processed dynamically.
S At the end of the production process (SLG 5 in the following figure), an MDS
can be processed again at the "i-point" if required.
