With a state model, you define the behavior of your equipment and
put it into a brief functional specification. In this way you show what
happens and when it happens.
How equipment changes states
The arrows in the state model show to which states your equipment
can go from the state it is in now.
• Each arrow is called a transition.
• A state model lets the equipment make only certain transitions.
This gives the equipment the same behavior as any other
equipment that uses the same model.
For this State: Ask:
Stopped What happens when you turn on power?
Resetting How does the equipment get ready to run?
Idle How do you tell that the equipment is ready to run?
Running What does the equipment do to make product?
Holding How does the equipment temporarily stop making product without
making scrap?
Held How do you tell if the equipment is safely holding?
Restarting How does the equipment resume production after holding?
Complete How do you tell when the equipment is done with what it had to do?
Stopping What happens during an normal shutdown?
Aborting How does the equipment shutdown if a fault or failure happens?
Aborted How do you tell if the equipment is safely shutdown?
