M ONITORED A VAILABILITY
Monitored Availability can be used as a real-time override of Scheduled Availability. It is
commonly used to prevent Available Time from accumulating if the workcell is scheduled
to be available but cannot produce due to some factor that is beyond its control.

The UDT contains one tag that is configured in FactoryTalk Metrics as a Monitored Value
custom event. It is assumed that this tag will always contain a meaningful value, such as
machine state code.

Using the Configuration Console, you can create a list to convert the numeric values returned by
this data point into string values for easier reporting. See the FactoryTalk Metrics User’s Guide.
