Description

TotalParts

INT

Total Part Count

The value is not taken from the controller, but calculated by

FactoryTalk Metrics as:

Good Parts + Scrap Parts = Total Parts

If you need the Total Parts value to be collected from the

controller, you must configure it manually in the
Configuration Console after you run the FactoryTalk Metrics

Configuration Tool.

Shift

INT

Scheduled
Availability - Shift

By default, the FactoryTalk Metrics Configuration Tool
configures Scheduled Availability to be collected from the
controller. The UDT Shift tag is expected to contain a

number that corresponds to the workcell’s current shift
number. If the Shift value is greater than zero, the workcell

is assumed to be on shift and available to run.
Tip: You can create a list to convert numeric values returned

by this tag into string values. See "Configuring Scheduled

Availability (page 65)" for details.

Running

BOOL

Running State

Determines whether or not a workcell is running. It is an
important component of several KPI calculations.
If the Running tag value is

true

(or

high

), the workcell is

considered to be running.

Monitored_Availability BOOL

Monitored
Availability

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 anything due to some factor that is

beyond its control.

Monitored_Value

INT

Custom Events,
monitored value

type

Contains a machine state code.
Tip: You can create a list to convert numeric values returned

by this tag into string values. See "Configuring Scheduled

Availability (page 65)" for details.
