Chapter 3 Guidelines
State Model Guidelines 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.
Follow these guidelines as you fill out the state model for an equipment phase.
Guideline Details
Fill out 1 state model for each phase. Each phase runs its own set of states. Fill out 1 state model worksheet for each phase.
Decide which state you want as your
initial state after power-up. Which state do you want the equipment phase to go to when you turn on power?
An equipment phase goes to its initial state when you turn on power. We recommend that you
use one of these states as the initial state:
• Idle (default)
• Complete
• Stopped
Choose the initial state that best shows what your equipment is waiting to do after power-up
(reset, run, and so forth).
