A given operation is experiencing significant unplanned downtime as a
result of a lack of communication.
Definition of Solution
At a given operation, four illuminated pushbuttons are added
as an interface to the operator to call for a maintenance technician, a
quality control technician, the operation supervisor or a material-handling
operator to replenish a lot of components. When the operator pushes a
given button, it illuminates to indicate that assistance is required and
the corresponding responsible person will receive an alpha page indicating
the operation that needs attention. Once the responder addresses the
issue, the button is pressed again to extinguish the light.
WAGO® PFC Program Overview
A retentive memory register is assigned to each button as the call
status. When a given button is pressed, the corresponding call status
register is toggled. The light on each pushbutton reflects the state of
the call status register.
I/Gear® Configuration Overview
- A WAGO® DataLink input command, which executes every second,
is created to grab the four call status registers and return
them to datapoints.
- Four pager DataLink output commands (one for each call type),
which execute when the corresponding call status datapoint value
increases, are created to page the responsible person of the request.
