Stop Alarms is a function for escalating unexpected production downtime to managers, helping the manager to prioritize their attention. Alarms can be configured with a type and duration. If a production stop of the specified type exceeds the set duration, notifications will be sent to the subscribers.

Stop types are:

• Unregistered
• Loss During Operation
• Non-production activities
• Batch-specific non-operation
• No activity at the line

Why use this?

Stop alarms can be used to alert the production manager or other relevant personnel to an ongoing issue on the production line. For example, if all stops should be registered within 30 minutes, an alarm can be set to notify the subscriber if a stoppage is unregistered after that time.

Stop type alarms can be set up on any digital sensor.

1. Select the sensor you want to set the alarm for from your sensors list. Click to open the sensor view.
