These items of the UDT workcell template: Are mapped to these performance parameters in FactoryTalk
Metrics:
Item
Data type
Item
Description
TotalParts
INT
Total Part Count
The value is not taken from the controller, but calculated by
FactoryTalk Metrics as:
Good Parts + Scrap Parts = Total Parts
If you need the Total Parts value to be collected from the
controller, you must configure it manually in the
Configuration Console after you run the FactoryTalk Metrics
Configuration Tool.
Shift
INT
Scheduled
Availability - Shift
By default, the FactoryTalk Metrics Configuration Tool
configures Scheduled Availability to be collected from the
controller. The UDT Shift tag is expected to contain a
number that corresponds to the workcell’s current shift
number. If the Shift value is greater than zero, the workcell
is assumed to be on shift and available to run.
Tip: You can create a list to convert numeric values returned
by this tag into string values. See "Configuring Scheduled
Availability (page 65)" for details.
Running
BOOL
Running State
Determines whether or not a workcell is running. It is an
important component of several KPI calculations.
If the Running tag value is
true
(or
high
), the workcell is
considered to be running.
Monitored_Availability BOOL
Monitored
Availability
A real-time override of Scheduled Availability. It is
commonly used to prevent Available Time from
accumulating, if the workcell is scheduled to be available
but cannot produce anything due to some factor that is
beyond its control.
Monitored_Value
INT
Custom Events,
monitored value
type
Contains a machine state code.
Tip: You can create a list to convert numeric values returned
by this tag into string values. See "Configuring Scheduled
Availability (page 65)" for details.
