3.4.1 Control monitors - List view

Function description
Events occurring directly in the control, or even as a result of evaluations of control
values or a machine operator's activities, can be evaluated by control monitors.
As a result, machine statuses can be acquired in order to draw general conclusions
about errors (e.g. alarms), current machine states (e.g. about accuracy determined
by circularity test), or use of resources; to collect production data (e.g. workpiece
counters); to obtain statistical data; and to analyze individual events on a tempo-
rary basis.
Machine operators can use a control monitor to determine which signals they are
interested in and, therefore, which automatic tasks they wish to trigger. When the
ePS Network Services system detects such an event, it can automatically trigger
actions which, in turn, trigger specific operating sequences or provide diagnostics
data for further analysis.

Note
By creating one or more control monitors, the machine operator defines the signal
or combination of signals from a machine, and predefined states on the ePS
Network Services server, that cause particular data to be generated or actions to
be triggered.
