EnumString |
Value |
Description |
|
OTHER |
0 |
This state is used if no other state below applies. |
|
PRODUCTION |
1 |
Primary Mode used for all production activities, All PackML model states will be utilized. PackTags are active and reporting. The unit/machine executes relevant logic in response to commands which are mainly coming from External Systems, or entered directly by the operator. |
|
MAINTENANCE |
2 |
Used for routine preventive Maintenance or planned maintenance. Shall be utilized to document planned maintenance occurrence and duration. This mode allows authorized personnel to run the unit/machine independent of other systems. This mode would typically be used for fault finding, machine trials, or testing operational improvements. For example: The cleaning of a print head is maintenance. |
|
MANUAL |
3 |
Used for fault diagnosis of unplanned technical intervention. |
|
CHANGE OVER |
4 |
Used specifically for format or recipe change over, includes “cleaning” operations. |
|
CLEAN |
5 |
Used for Routine Cleaning requirements example: as specified by factory maintenance procedures. |
|
SET UP |
6 |
Used for set up or adjustments example: mechanical adjustments and testing. |
|
EMPTY OUT |
7 |
Used to empty out machine example: end of a block of shifts prior to factory weekend shut down, empty out resident product within the machine that could be sent to finished product and minimize part finished “rework”. |
|
REMOTE SERVICE |
8 |
Used when the state machine accepts commands from OPC UA clients, e.g. for remote service.Remark. The Remote Service mode fulfil the safety requirements of the harmonized norm EN415-10:2011 (Safety of packaging machines). |
The IdleEnergySavingMode Property is set to True when the energy saving mode during the idle phase is set.
The Property State describes the status of the state machine controlling the machine module. The Property States has Data Type StateEnumeration which is defined in Table 10 according to the PackML definitions.

The underlying system will execute commands provided with the SendCommand Method when the Command Argument equals “Abort”, “Stop”, “Hold”.
The underlying system will execute commands provided with the SendCommand Method when the Command Argument equals “Start”, “Reset”, Un-Hold”, “Clear” and the ControlMode equals “REMOTE SERVICE”.
The underlying system will execute local commands regardless of the value of ControlMode.
The underlying system shall comply with harmonised norms EN415-10:2011 (Safety of packaging machines).
