Hi all,
My question is about an AOI and specific output bools. They're readable by anything external, HMIs, and so on:
- Sts_Active or
- Sts_Inactive or
- Both available
I think it's generally only necessary to have "Sts_Active" but I'm scraping to find that "gotcha" moment where it becomes necessary (or convenient) to have both.
A granular set of statuses might be Active (running), Inactive (not running, not faulted), Down (not running, faulted), but this may confuse the idea when dealing with an AOI that doesn't have a fault state.
Can I hear opinions either way?
Thanks and Happy New Year!
