Admin panel section: Program generation (/admin/orders_programm_make.php).
Where to get the download program for machines
This is a utility for the shop-floor computer: it pulls finished order files from the server itself and distributes them to the machines — instead of carrying a USB stick around. You download it right here, with the button in the section header.
Path to the button:
- Log in to your firm's admin panel with e-mail and password.
- In the left menu pick Program generation (direct address —
/admin/orders_programm_make.php). - In the section header, to the right of the «Program generation» title, click «Download the CNC download program».
- Save the ZIP archive and unpack it on the shop-floor computer that stands next to the machines and is never switched off.
The archive is built for your firm: the server address and the access key inside are already filled in, nothing needs editing by hand. So download it from your own admin panel rather than taking a copy from a colleague — someone else's archive will not connect to the service.
Step by step — who may download it, what is inside and what to do if the button complains: How to download the CNC download program for machines. Installation, machine path setup and troubleshooting: CNC file download program for machines.
What the section itself does
Here the server builds programs for your equipment: cutting maps, drilling, milling and grooving operations. Generation runs as a background queue — the order is queued, a worker picks it up and puts the finished files into the order archive. You do not pick a machine, a format or a post-processor by hand on this page: what exactly to build is taken from the settings of your machines, machine services and tools.
Four tabs
- In progress
- The queue: what is waiting to be processed right now. Columns — ID, Order, Firm, Order status, Record date, Parts. A record can be removed from the queue.
- Orders
- Your firm's orders. Columns — ID, Order, Firm, Status, Order date, Parts, Last generation, Result. The «Regenerate» button queues the order again, «Regenerate everything» does the same for the whole current filter selection.
- Completed
- What has already been generated. It additionally shows the completion date and the run time in seconds — handy for understanding how long a large order really takes.
- Errors
- Orders where generation failed, with the error text. You can regenerate them one by one or all failed ones at once for the selected firm.
Filters
Every tab has a filter by firm and by order status, a search by ID or name in «equals» and «contains» modes, sorting and page navigation. Below the table there is a «Total records» counter.
What matters
- Only your firm's orders are visible.
- Before generating, Machines, Machine services and Tools must be configured: operations with no matching tool will not make it into the program.
- Regeneration is needed if the parts in the order changed or you changed the machine settings.
- If an error repeats and its text is unclear, contact iFurn.pro support.
