The ProductionStatus Property of DataType ProductionStatusEnumeration represents the production status when the machine is in automatic or semi-automatic mode. When the machine is in another mode, the value is not relevant (no production). The ProductionStatusEnumeration is formally defined in Table 50.

Name |

Description |
|
OTHER |
0 |
This state is used if none of the other states below apply. |
|
NO_PRODUCTION |
1 |
The machine does not produce any parts/products. |
|
START_UP |
2 |
The machine is producing parts/products in the start-up phase. So the correct settings of the machines are not reached. |
|
READY_FOR_PRODUCTION |
3 |
The machine is producing parts/products, the correct settings of the machines are reached but the production is not yet released (e.g. waiting for release from quality assurance). |
|
PRODUCTION |
4 |
The machine is producing parts/products. In semi-automatic mode also during waiting time (e.g. for manual loading/unloading of parts) ProductionStatus remains in this state (time out possible if e.g. cycle time exceeds a pre-defined limit). |
|
DRY_RUN |
5 |
The machine is moving without material. |
NOTE: This is a list of a possible status and not a sequence. The support of the values NO_PRODUCTION_1 and PRODUCTION_4 is mandatory. The use of the other values is optional.
The ProductionStatus is set by the machine/operator. The selection of the value PRODUCTION_4 can be prevented by the MES OPC UA client by setting ProductionReleasedByMES to FALSE.
