7 Establishing a connection and diagnostics
7.2 Cooperation areas
The configurations (control monitors, variable monitors, etc.) and user data
(uploaded data, archives, etc.) that result from the use of ePS Network Services
are always assigned to the machine. By consulting the machine list, a user can
easily find out at any particular time whether the machine on which he/she is
currently working belongs to his/her own or an external organization (machine list
divided up according to organizations).
The users of the source organization see the organizations for which the machine
is released and the users of the target organization see the organization that is
making a machine accessible. This applies to the "administrator", "system startup
engineer", and "service engineer" user roles on a PC; users on the control are
unable to see that it is an external machine.
To end cooperation, either the administrator of the source organization can remove
the machine from the cooperation area (cancel access rights of other organization)
or the administrator of the target organization can reject the machine from the
cooperation area.
In both cases, the administrators can choose whether the recipients in the target
organization will be removed from the notification configuration of the machine or
whether they are kept. The other settings (configuration of monitors, service case
notification configuration, etc.) are kept on the machine.
Fig. 7-19: Multiple release of machines
Cooperation area between one end user with a large machine park and various
OEMs or service providers. One machine can be released simultaneously to
several organizations (machine "Mach 1" surrounded by thick border)
As soon as the machine has been removed from the cooperation area, the target
organization and its users cannot access the data of the machine until it is released
again.
