9.4

Standard coupling of the machine modules

The state machine in the ApplicationTemplate PackML is provided with a standard behaviour. This

section describes how a lower-level slave machine module can be decoupled from the master

module if required.

• The higher-level machine module specifies setpoint states for the lower-level slaves and, in

doing this, checks the current actual states of the slaves.

• If a lower-level slave module detects a triggered alarm...

• ...this module responds with an alarm response (according to the alarm response

programmed), and

• ...forwards this information to the higher-level machine module.
• If there is another higher-level machine module, the information is forwarded to the top

level.

The standard coupling of the machine modules in the ApplicationTemplate PackMLcan be changed

by appropriate programming.

9.4.1

Predefined standard mechanism of the state machine

In the ApplicationTemplate PackML the top master machine module controls/switches by default

the connected lower-level slave machine modules with their state machines and operating modes.

• Based on the master module on the top level, the state machine or the operating mode is

changed over by switching the module of the lowest level first. Only if all slave modules have

changed to the requested state, the master module changes to this state as well.

SUSPENDING

Active

green

This state has to be used if it is not possible with the EXTERNAL process

state to let the machine continue the production. This means that the

upstream or downstream machine in a line leaves the EXECUTE state.

Possible triggers are blockades or supply shortfalls in the machine.

• The SUSPENDING state could be triggered by a local sensor in the

machine or by a external control system. Usually, the machine is

stopped in a controlled manner in this state and then changes to the

SUSPENDED state.

• In order to restart the machine in a controlled manner after the

SUSPENDED state, all relevant process setpoints/return states of the

procedures have to be saved that are available while the SUSPEND

command is triggered.

UNHOLDING

Active

green

This state is reached as described for the HOLDING state. In this state,

the machine is stopped either by a complete stop or by a continuous "dry

running".

• As soon as the INTERNAL machine state changes/the operator

triggers the UNHOLD command, the machine changes to the

UNHOLDING state.

• Usually, the Performance Management/OEE system considers the

SUSPENDED state (blockade/supply shortfall) as "available".

UNSUSPENDING Active

green

This state is reached as described for the SUSPENDED state. The

UNSUSPENDED state can be reached as soon as the external state of the

machine has normalised.

• The UNSUSPENDING State initiates all necessary actions/sequences

in order that the machine can change to the EXECUTE state.

• For a restart of the machine, the data has to be restored that has been

previously saved while the SUSPEND command was triggered (see

SUSPENDING state).
