State Model Overview A state model divides the operating cycle of your equipment into a
series of states. Each state is an instant in the operation of the
equipment. It's the actions or conditions of the equipment at a given
time.
In a state model, you define what your equipment does under
different conditions, such as run, hold, stop, etc. You don’t need to
use all the states for your equipment. Use only the states that you
want.
There are 2 types of states:
PhaseManager uses the following states:
