3.4.3 Machine triggers and server triggers

Description of functions
In terms of triggers, a distinction can be drawn between machine triggers and
server triggers:
•
Machine triggers respond in the form of queries for signals from the control.
•
Server triggers are queries for values that have already been detected on the
server and do not depend on the communication between the machine and
the server.
Any action can be executed with any trigger, regardless of whether it is of a
machine or server type. Fault help requests submitted to the ePS Network Services
Internet PC and maintenance jobs that are due to be executed constitute an
exception in this respect: These are monitored on the ePS server rather than being
machine-triggered.
Initiating the trigger
A trigger can be assigned a label, which determines its behavior at the central start
date for maintenance (see Sub-section 6.1.3 "Machines"
has been set and a start date, which has not yet been reached, has been
configured in the master data of the machine, the trigger will not be initiated. If the
date has been reached or is in the past, the trigger will be initiated according to the
conditions set for it. If a start date has not been configured, or the label has not
been set, the trigger will be initiated according to the conditions set for it.
The label for an entire trigger relates to each individual condition linked in the
trigger. As a result, "OFF" indicates that no trigger conditions have been linked to
the start date, while "ON" indicates that all trigger conditions have been linked to
the start date. A "faded ON" indicates that at least one trigger condition is linked to
the start date.
