This enumeration WwUnitStateEnumeration represents the generalized state of a unit. The enumeration is defined in Table 21.

Description |
OFFLINE |
0 |
The unit is offline. |
STANDBY |
1 |
The unit is in standby. |
READY |
2 |
The unit is ready to start working. |
WORKING |
3 |
The unit is working. |
ERROR |
4 |
The unit is not able to work. The cause can be an alarm or error or user intervention. The cause can be an alarm or error or user intervention. |
A unit state depends on the unit flags (see 7.9). Even if the unit flags are not provided in the address space they exist internally in the machine. If the device does not support EnergySaving, it is assumed that the variable value is false. Therefore they are always the basis for the state:
MachineOn && (!MachineInitialized || !Calibrated || EnergySaving)
MachineOn && MachineInitialized && Calibrated && !EnergySaving &&
MachineOn && MachineInitialized && Calibrated && !EnergySaving &&
MachineOn && MachineInitialized && Calibrated && !EnergySaving &&
This is the state diagram of the UnitState:
Note: Since the unit state is an enumeration do not rely on the transitions. Only the logic of the unit flags counts.

Its representation in the AddressSpace is defined in Table 22.
