3-20 Operating Characteristics
3.3.4 GES Process States
3.3.4.1 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.
3.3.4.2 Active
3.3.4.2.1 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.
3.3.4.2.2 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.
3.3.4.3 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.
3.3.4.4 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
