Change Status

While using the Simulation Client, you can change the Status of assets. This allows you to see how it will behave while that Status is active in Runtime.

On the Assets and Workflows tab, change the Status of a selected asset by taking the following steps:

  1. In the Systems pane, select an integrated system.
  2. The assets from the system are listed in the Assets pane.
    Default Mode
    Advanced Mode

Change the Status (Default Mode)

  1. The asset's available statuses are displayed in the Status pane. Double-click a status or select it and click Set Status.
  2. In the Runtime Simulation you can view the asset change states if it is available from the simulated Workstation.

Change the Status (Advanced Mode)

  1. The asset's available statuses are displayed in the Status pane. There are two options to choose from:
    • Manual — Allows users to define the state by selecting values from the Available States list to the Selected States list.
    • Complex — Allows users to define the state by entering the full value directly in the text field. This input could be a string or integer value, based on the requirements of the integrated system.
  2. Select Manual to transfer the desired state to simulate and select from the available commands.
  3. Select Complex to enter the desired state value to simulate and click Submit.
    Warning: After clicking one of the status buttons (Acknowledge, Mask, Reset, or No Communication), the status will be immediately written to the asset.
  4. In Runtime, the selected asset’s status will update based on the evaluation of the Asset Type’s layer Visibility Expressions.
