Command a phase

The
FactoryTalk Batch
 Phase Simulator allows you to change the state of a phase.
To command a phase
:
  1. Start the
    FactoryTalk Batch
     Phase Simulator
    .
  2. In the
    Edit
     menu, select
    Phase Status
    .
  3. In the
    Select Phase
     list, select the phase to command.
  4. To set the phase to COMPLETE, select
    Set Complete
    .
  5. For all other state change commands, set the
    Owner
    of the phase to External.
  6. Select the appropriate state change command (
    Start/Stop
    ,
    Abort/Reset
    , or
    Hold/Restart
    ).
    If the requested state change is legal, the server sends the command and the phase transitions to the appropriate state. The new state value is displayed in the
    Status
     register in the
    Phase Status
     dialog box.
    • If the phase is running and
      Abort/Reset
       is selected, the phase goes to ABORTING. To transition the phase to the ABORTED state, select
      Set Complete
      .
    • If a phase is running and
      Hold/Restart
       is selected, the phase goes to HOLDING. To transition the phase to the HELD state, select
      Set Complete
      .
