State Management Overview

When the FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI is connected to the Controller, the user can monitor multiple baselines of a component. When the user clicks on

Start Training and Monitoring

, based on the tags selected on the

State Definition

page, FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI will create a separate state with the change in the selected tag value. A separate baseline is acquired for each state, and the component will be monitored for any deviation at that particular state.

A state will be created only if the tag is valid. The tag is considered invalid if its value is empty or white space. If multiple tags are selected, at least one tag must be valid to create a state.

When the controller is not configured, the component's state is generally called the Default state. No tabs will be available.
