The components of the EquipmentModuleLiveStatusType are further described below.

BrowseName

Description

Alarms

The Alarms folder contains alarms of the equipment module.

ControlMode

The ControlMode describes the current control mode of the equipment module.

Data

The Data folder provides additional production data that is not already identified by TMC.

State

The State Property describes the status of the state machine controlling the equipment module. State provides a subset of the information of the state machine when the latter is implemented.

StateMachine

The state machine describes the current state of the equipment module, the possible transitions, and their conditions.

The components of the EquipmentModuleLiveStatusType have additional subcomponents which are defined in the following table.
