Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method, system and storage medium for managing automated system events. The method includes identifying events that are a defined system event and associating the events identified with one of (a) events that cause an automated system to transition from an automatic cycle mode, the events having a fault type associated therewith; and (b) events that do not cause the automated system to transition from the automatic cycle mode. The method also includes generating a listing of the events identified with regard to the associating the events.
Claims18
A method for managing automated system events, comprising:
- identifying events that are a defined system event;
- associating the events identified with one of (a) events that cause an automated system to transition from an automatic cycle mode, the events having a fault type associated therewith, wherein the fault type indicates a fault with a machine in the automated system running in a current cycle and includes one of:
- a level 1 fault causing the machine in the automated system to stop running before completing the current cycle;
- a level 2 fault causing the machine in the automated system to stop running at the end of the current cycle;
- and
- a level 2.5 fault indicating that the fault occurred during the current cycle without stopping the machine in the automated system at the end of the current cycle;
- and
- (b) events that do not cause the automated system to transition from the automatic cycle mode;
- and
- generating a listing of the events identified with regard to the associating the events.
A system for managing automated system events, comprising:
- an automated system;
- a user system in communication with the automated system via a network, the user system including a processor;
- a collector component in communication with the automated system;
- a system event manager application executing in conjunction with the collector component;
- and
- at least one timer in communication with at least one of the automated system and the system event manager application, the system event manager application performing:
- identifying events that are a defined system event;
- associating the events identified with one of (a) events that cause the automated system to transition from an automatic cycle mode, the events having a fault type associated therewith, wherein the fault type indicates a fault with a machine in the automated system running in a current cycle and includes one of:
- a level 1 fault causing the machine in the automated system to stop running before completing the current cycle;
- a level 2 fault causing the machine in the automated system to stop running at the end of the current cycle;
- and
- a level 2.5 fault indicating that the fault occurred during the current cycle without stopping the machine in the automated system at the end of the current cycle;
- and
- (b) events that do not cause the automated system to transition from the automatic cycle mode;
- and
- generating a listing of the events identified with regard to the associating the events.
A storage medium encoded with machine-readable program code for managing automated system events, the program code including instructions for causing a processor to implement a method, comprising:
- identifying events that are a defined system event;
- associating the events identified with one of (a) events that cause an automated system to transition from an automatic cycle mode, the events having a fault type associated therewith, wherein the fault type indicates a fault with a machine in the automated system running in a current cycle and includes one of:
- a level 1 fault causing the machine in the automated system to stop running before completing the current cycle;
- a level 2 fault causing the machine in the automated system to stop running at the end of the current cycle;
- and
- a level 2.5 fault indicating that the fault occurred during the current cycle without stopping the machine in the automated system at the end of the current cycle;
- and
- (b) events that do not cause the automated system to transition from the automatic cycle mode;
- and
- generating a listing of the events identified with regard to the associating the events.
