EquipmentStatusType Wizard option

Specifies the number of equipment operating states that can be shown by an Equipment Status indicator.

• Basic: 2 states. The default.

• Advanced: 4 states

• All: 6 states

  The following table shows the supported equipment states for each choice of the EquipmentStatusType Wizard option.

  	Wizard option choices
  Equipment state	Basic	Advanced	All
  Active	Y	Y	Y
  Passive	Y	Y	Y
  Transitioning to Active		Y	Y
  Transitioning to Passive		Y	Y
  Interlocked			Y
  Out of Service			Y

Only one equipment status custom property should be True at any moment during run time. If more than one equipment state custom property is True, the selected equipment state is determined by the following precedence rules:

1. Out of Service takes precedence over all other equipment states

2. Interlocked takes precedence over equipment states 3-6

3. Transitioning Passive takes precedence over equipment states 4-6

4. Transitioning Active takes precedence over equipment states 5-6

5. Active takes precedence over equipment state 6

6. Passive is superseded by all other equipment states

Related Wizard options and custom properties

The names of equipment status custom properties are based on the selected option of the EquipmentStatusType Wizard option. For example, the custom property that specifies an active equipment state can be named:

• BasicMultipleEquipmentObj1.Active

• AdvancedMultipleEquipmentObj1.Active

• AllMultipleEquipmentObj1.Active

The first portion of the custom property name identifies the selected EquipmentStatusType option. A naming convention is followed to include the possible names of a custom property in the form Basic_Advanced_All. The name of the Active equipment status custom property is Basic_Advanced_All_MultipleEquipmentObjX.Active.

Each piece of equipment has a set of assigned status custom properties. In the case of a symbol that has been configured to show an Advanced set of equipment status custom properties for equipment number 5, the transitioning active custom property name would be AdvancedMultipleObj5.TransitioningActive

An X is included in the custom property name to indicate the possible equipment numbers (1-5) assigned to a custom property. Using the previous example of an Advanced set of equipment status custom properties for equipment number 5, the custom property is identified in this help as Advanced_All_MultipleEquipmentObjX.TransitioningActive.
