This enumeration WSOperationModeEnumerationType combines machine states and operating modes of a machine. Thus, in the Weihenstephan Standards, the machine state Off is understood as an operation mode. The operating modes automatic, semi-automatic and manual are defined according to DIN IEC 60050-351. The enumeration is defined in Table 24.

The WS DataPoint WS_Cur_Mode uses the WSOperatingModeEnumerationType as data type and is defined as follows: The operating mode provides information about the way and extent of the intervention on the control equipment by the human operator. In the Weihenstephan Standards, the machine state Off is understood as an operating mode in addition to automatic, semi-automatic and manual.

All functions of the control system are performed by humans. In connection with the Weihenstephan Standards, the step-setting mode and tipping mode are also included.

Semi-automatic

4

Only some of the functions of the control system are executed without human intervention.
