Machine State Description
|
|
0
|
Powered Off
|
This machine state has the lowest priority; the state is ended by all other states. The machine is switched or powered off. Network communication to the machine’s controller is not possible. NOTE: This state also signifies that no data has been received from the machine/controller for a pre-determined length of time.

1
|
Powered On
|
In case the machine states are queried in mode 1 this state means “Powered On”. In case a machine manufacturer specific protocol is used this state means “Powered On but controller core is not accessible” means machine is in a “Half Alive state”. The machine’s network interface is functioning and can be “pinged”. NOTE: When no control manufacturer’s API is available or when a machine control does not support an “Automatic Mode”, this state will be used to signify that the machine is “Up”.

2
|
Auto Mode
|
As with mode "Powered Off" this mode is not counted as the primary machine state if a higher prioritized mode is active. Any cycle performed is counted as Part +1. The machine is running a program that has not been halted (“paused” by the operator) and there is no error with machining stop (e.g., opening a door, resulting in an emergency stop).
|
|
3
|
Manual Mode
|
Includes all possible operation modes such as “Jog”, “Teach-In”, or “MDA" except "Automatic Mode". The machine is not faulted. As with other modes this mode is not counted as the primary machine state if a higher prioritized mode is active (e.g. machine is faulted). This state is common during machine setup.
|
|
4
|
Interrupted Mode
|
Machine is in automatic mode but execution of program is interrupted, machine is not faulted. This state is active when for example the machine operator manually interrupts the program. This state may also be active when a pre-determined cycle count limit is reached.
|
|
5
|
Mode Faulted
|
Machine is in any mode but “Edit”. This state is active when machining stops due to an error. This state is caused by any event that leads to a machining stop state such as "Alarm with machining stop". Running out of bar stock makes this state active.
