Add and configure a cycle definition

A cycle definition defines an operating cycle for a piece of equipment; for example, operating and cleaning. You can use cycle manager to associate cycles and their stages of a process so that AVEVA™ Production Management can create downtime events for stages when the equipment is down.

To add a cycle definition

You can add a cycle manager to any Applications folder or to an equipment template.

1. In Studio, right-click an Applications folder, point to Add Item, point to Cycle Manager, point to Cycle Definition. A new cycle definition appears.

   

2. Rename the cycle definition with a meaningful name.

3. Define the cycle definition properties. For guidance in configuring the properties, see cycle definition properties.
