Using the PhaseManager Tool
Chapter 11
Table 43 - PhaseManager Transitions
Type of Transition
Description
Command
A command tells the equipment to do something. For example, the operator pushes the start
button to begin production and the stop button to halt production.
The PhaseManager tool uses these commands:
Reset
Stop
Restart
Start
Hold
Abort
Done
Equipment goes to a waiting state when it is finished with what it is doing. You do not give the
equipment a command. Instead, you configure your code to signal when the phase state is
finished.
Fault
A fault tells you that something out of the ordinary has happened. You configure your code to
look for faults and act if it finds any. If you want to shut down your equipment as quickly as
possible when it detects a fault, configure your code to look for that fault and give the abort
command if it finds it.
Manually Change States
You can manually change an equipment phase. To change a PhaseManager state,
perform this procedure.
1. Open the Equipment Phase Monitor.
2. Take ownership of the equipment phase by clicking Owners and clicking
Yes.
3. Click the command that initiates the state you need (for example, Start or
Reset).
4. After you have finished manually changing the state, click Owners to
release your ownership.
