contribution that Availability makes to the OEE value.
• The Plant Model Activity Area is always running when it is
available and not in a faulted state.
Select this option if you want the running state of the activity
area to be based on the availability and the fault state of the
activity area. This enables you to eliminate unavailable time
and downtime from the OEE rating.
• The Plant Model Activity Area determines Running State
based on the current Machine State.
Select this option if you want the activity area to be considered
in the running state, when the current machine state indicates
the running state. For more information, see "Configure and
Use Machine States (page 118)".
• The Plant Model Activity Area monitors an Unscheduled
Data Point to determine running state.
Select this option if you have a data point in the control system
that contains a running bit. If you base the Running State
parameter on the data point that contains the running bit of
the selected activity area, the activity area’s running time will
be stored in the database for later reporting.
You can either only select a data point, or first select a data
point as the running state event trigger, and then set the actual
