Collecting Performance Data Chapter 3
This state must have a higher priority than the Down state,
because when a machine is starved, it is also down, but when a
machine is down, it is not necessarily starved (it could be in the
Linefault state, the Blocked state, or some down condition
that maps to the Down state).
The relative priority of Blocked and Starved to each other is
unimportant because when they are both active, the machine is
in the Linefault machine state.
4. Down
The data point that maps to this state can indicate any type of
down condition (including the Linefault state, the Blocked
state, the Starved state, or any other generic down condition),
so it must have the lowest priority of all of the down states.
The relative priority of the Test, Setup, and Running states is
unimportant, because the values of the data points used to
determine the states are mutually exclusive with each other and with
the down states.
In this tutorial, you will configure machine states for the Sample
Enterprise.
To configure machine states:
1. On the Configure menu, click FactoryTalk Metrics >
Machine States.
The Configure Machine States dialog box appears.
2. Click Add.
The Configure State dialog box appears. The dialog box is
used to define the properties of an individual machine state.
