14.7.1 ProductionStatus
The ProductionStatus Property of DataType ProductionStatusEnumeration represents the production status when the machine is in automatic or semi-automatic mode. When the machine is in another mode, the value is not relevant (no production). The ProductionStatusEnumeration is formally defined in Table 50.
| Name | Value | Description |
| OTHER | 0 | This state is used if none of the other states below apply. |
| NO_PRODUCTION | 1 | The machine does not produce any parts/products. |
| START_UP | 2 | The machine is producing parts/products in the start-up phase. So the correct settings of the machines are not reached. |
| READY_FOR_PRODUCTION | 3 | The machine is producing parts/products, the correct settings of the machines are reached but the production is not yet released (e.g. waiting for release from quality assurance). |
| PRODUCTION | 4 | The machine is producing parts/products. In semi-automatic mode also during waiting time (e.g. for manual loading/unloading of parts) ProductionStatus remains in this state (time out possible if e.g. cycle time exceeds a pre-defined limit). |
| DRY_RUN | 5 | The machine is moving without material. |
NOTE: This is a list of a possible status and not a sequence. The support of the values NO_PRODUCTION_1 and PRODUCTION_4 is mandatory. The use of the other values is optional.
The ProductionStatus is set by the machine/operator. The selection of the value PRODUCTION_4 can be prevented by the MES OPC UA client by setting ProductionReleasedByMES to FALSE.
