Downtime records events when a process area is not operational. Real Downtime is when a process area has stopped completely. AVEVA™ Production Management is using some elements to calculate Downtime. For a list of the elements, see Elements used for Downtime calculation.
How does AVEVA Production Management calculate Downtime?
Typically, Downtime events are configured to monitor a condition that determines when a process area is not operational. For example, the condition could be "Motor is not running" or the condition could be "Output Rate=0".
Note: Real Downtime takes precedence over Virtual Downtime.
Downtime does the following:
-
Monitors the configured condition to determine when downtime occurs.
-
Has permitted delays before reporting; StartDelay and StopDelay.
-
Begins reporting when Downtime duration has continued longer than the permitted amount of time.

Downtime status changes to |
|---|---|
|
Capture condition is True. |
Pending On, and then waits for the amount of time specified in StartDelay. |
|
Capture condition is True and the StartDelay is met. |

|
Capture condition is no longer True. |
Pending Off, and then waits for the amount specified in StopDelay. |

Capture condition is no longer True and the StopDelay is met. |
