The values for Equipment process states are listed in Table 3-12.
Table 3-12 Equipment Process State Values
Value Description
Idle The Equipment is initialized to this state. This state indicates that
the Equipment is not dispensing on a board nor is it waiting for a
board to arrive at the dispense station.
Active The Active state includes the following:
Running - While in this state, the Equipment is either currently
waiting for a board to arrive at the dispense station, processing a
board, or unloading a processed board out of the dispense
station.
Paused - This state indicates that the Equipment is paused
during the processing of a board. Processing continues on the
current board when the UNPAUSE command is issued. The
transition to the Idle state can occur if the stop command is
issued.
Aborting When in the Running state, upon receiving an ABORT command,
the Equipment will command the machine to stop all processing
immediately. This state indicates that this is currently occurring.
Once all processing has been halted, the transition to the Idle state
will occur.
Error An error has occurred while in the Running state. A description of
the error will be displayed to the user. Upon acknowledgment of the
error, the Equipment will transition to the Idle state.
