Setup States (plsch0122m000)

Field Information

Scenario

The code of the scenario.

Setup Class

The code of the setup class to which the setup state belongs.

Setup State

The code used for the setup state. For example, in the COLOR class, the setup states can be RED, GREEN, BLUE, BLACK and WHITE.

Duration Unit

The unit in which the setup state duration is expressed.

Allowed values

Seconds

Minutes

Hours

Days

Weeks

Duration From

The default setup time that is required to shift from a setup state to another, in the class.

Duration To

The default setup time that is required to shift to a setup state from another, in the class.

Gradation Level

The value assigned to the setup state in the setup class. This value is used to arrange the setup states in the order specified in the Gradation Type field. Recommended to assign numbers with increments greater than 1, so that new states can be inserted, if required.

In multiple setup environments, an order is defined for the setups. Setup states that change less frequently have higher gradation values and increments. Setup states that change more frequently have smaller values and increments.

Example: COLOR and GAUGE the two setup classes defined for a product. Changing color is far more complex and time-consuming than changing gauge.

The setup states in the COLOR class have gradation values starting at 100 with an increment of 100 between each state. The setup states in the GAUGE class start at 10 with and increments of 10. The Synchronized Scheduling Engine considers the GAUGE state ten time more easier to change than a COLOR state.

Color Code

The color code used for the gradation level.
