[Interlock]StateItem

Sets the global default value if using a different item name rather than "Running" for pieces of Equipment with an interlock condition.

Note: This is a global value and not per instance. To set a value per instance configure using the item name for the target interlocked equipment in the Equipment Runtime Parameter grid. Refer to the topic Configure Interlocks in the main help for more information.

If this parameter and Equipment Runtime Parameters have been defined then the Equipment Runtime Parameters will take precedence.

For example: if there is a piece of equipment named "InterlockedDevice" the precedence would work as follows:

• If there is no Equipment Runtime Parameter and INI parameter set, "InterlockedDevice.Running" will be used to detect interlock status.

• If INI parameter [Interlock]StateItem = PV and no Equipment Runtime Parameter configured, "InterlockedDevice.PV" will be used. This is the same for all other pieces of equipment.

• If INI parameter [Interlock]StateItem = PV is set with an Equipment Runtime Parameter set for "InterlockedDevce" as Interlock_StateItem = "RunningState", InterlockedDevice.RunningState will be used, whilst all other pieces of equipment will use "PV".

Allowable Values:

Value for item name e.g. PV

Default Value:

"Running"
