Palletizer Name_State [Fast(-1)/Workng(3)/Slow(4)/Blocked(0)/Failed(1)/
Changeover(2)/Stopped(5)]—Returns the current state of the palletizer. The seven states
are exclusive (i.e., the Palletizer can only be in one of these states at any given time). A
Palletizer is in the Fast state if its speed factor is greater than 1. A Palletizer is in the
Working state if its speed factor is equal to 1. A Palletizer is in the Slow state if its speed
factor is less than 1 and non-zero. A Palletizer is in the Blocked state if its speed factor is
zero and the Palletizer is not Failed, Changeover, or Stopped.
Palletizer Name_UnitsProcessed [Units]—Returns the total number of units that have
entered the palletizer.
Palletizer Name_PalletsUnStored [Pallets]—Returns the number of pallets the depallet-
izer has taken out of storage.
