11.2 SetMachineState

Method to set the MachineryItemState. The input argument of this method is the desired State. Allowed values are the StateNumber values in the StateType defined the MachineryItemState_StateMachineType Definition in OPC 40001-1: 0 (NotAvailable), 1 (OutOfService), 2 (NotExecuting), 3 (Executing).

Note: Not all States have to be supported by the mould. In this case, the server shall respond with the status code "Bad_NotSupported".

Signature

	SetMachineState (
		[in] 0:UInt32	DesiredState);

11.3 SetOperationMode

Method to set the MachineryOperationMode. The input argument of this method is the desired State. Allowed values are the StateNumber values in the StateType defined the MachineryOperationModeStateMachineType Definition in OPC 40001-1: 0 (None), 1 (Maintenance), 2 (Setup), 3 (Processing).

Note: Not all States have to be supported by the mould. In this case, the server shall respond with the status code "Bad_NotSupported".

11.4 SetCycleNumber

Description:

Method to set the cycle number of the mould to synchronize it with the cycle number of the production machine.

Signature

	SetCycleNumber(
		[in]	0:UInt64	JobCycleNumber);

Table 20 - SetCycleNumber Method Arguments

Argument	Description
JobCycleNumber	Number, to which the JobCycleNumber of the mould shall be set. The next MouldCycleInformationEvent will use this value.

11.5 MouldLifetimeCycleCounter

Total number of production cycles since the first operation of the mould. The value shall increase with every production cycle and shall not be resettable.

11.6 JobCycleCounter

Number of production cycles in the current job. Increases with every production cycle. Can be set with the SetCycleNumber method.

11.7 CavityCycleCounter

Number of production cycles for each cavity of the mould. The CavityCycleCounterDataType is defined in chapter 12.

11.8 EstimatedCycleTime

The estimated cycle time for one production cycle of the current job. The value shall only consist of valid values, e.g. no zero ("0").
