BrowseName Description
ControlModeThe ControlMode property describes the current control mode of the machine.
IdleEnergySavingModeThe IdleEnergySavingMode Property is set to True when the energy saving mode during the idle phase is set.
StateThe Property State describes the status of the state machine controlling the machine module. State provides a subset of the information of the state machine, when the latter is implemented.
StateMachineThe state machine describes the current state of the machine, the possible transitions and their conditions.
AlarmsThe Alarms folder contains alarms of the machine module.
DataThe Data Folder contains additional data that is not identified elsewhere in this specification.

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

8.4.2 AcknowledgeAlarms Method

The AcknowledgeAlarms Method acknowledges all alarms of the machine module. The acknowledgement is cascades to other objects belonging to the machine module e.g., equipment modules and control modules.

The signature of this Method is specified below. Table 24 specifies the Arguments representation.

Signature

	AcknowledgeAlarms (
	  [out] MethodExecutionFeedbackType		ExecutionFeedback);
Table 24 – AcknowledgeAlarms Method Arguments
Argument Description
ExecutionFeedbackThe extended feedback returning a detailed message in case of execution failure.

8.4.3 ResetAggregates Method

The ResetAggregates resets all the aggregates for the objects contained in the ProcessItems and ProcessControlLoops of the machine module.

The signature of this Method is specified below. Table 25 specifies the Arguments representation.

Signature

	ResetAggregates (
	  [out] MethodExecutionFeedbackType		ExecutionFeedback);
Table 25 – ResetAggregates Method Arguments
Argument Description
ExecutionFeedbackThe extended feedback returning a detailed message in case of execution failure.

8.4.4 SendCommand Method

The Method SendCommand sends a command to change the state of the machine module state machine remotely.

The signature of this Method is specified below. Table 26 specifies the Arguments representation.

Signature

	SendCommand (
	  [in]  CommandEnumeration				Command,
	  [out] MethodExecutionFeedbackType		ExecutionFeedback);
Table 26 – SendCommand Method Arguments
Argument Description
CommandThe command to be sent to the machine module.
ExecutionFeedbackThe extended feedback returning a detailed message in case of execution failure.

8.4.5 SetControlMode Method

The SetControlMode Method sets the control mode of the machine module.

The signature of this Method is specified below. Table 27 specifies the Arguments representation.

Signature

	SetControlMode (
	  [in]  ControlModeEnumeration			ControlMode,
	  [out] MethodExecutionFeedbackType		ExecutionFeedback);
Table 27 – SetControlMode Method Arguments
Argument Description
ControlModeThe control mode to be set to the machine module.
ExecutionFeedbackThe extended feedback returning a detailed message in case of execution failure.

8.4.6 SetIdleEnergySavingMode Method

The Method SetIdleEnergySavingMode activates the energy saving mode when the machine module is idle.

The signature of this Method is specified below. Table 28 specifies the Arguments representation.

Signature

	SetIdleEnergySavingMode (
	  [in]  0:Boolean						IdleEnergySavingMode,
	  [out] MethodExecutionFeedbackType		ExecutionFeedback);
Table 28 – SetIdleEnergySavingMode Method Arguments
Argument Description
IdleEnergySavingModeThe energy saving mode to set.
ExecutionFeedbackThe extended feedback returning a detailed message in case of execution failure.
