… Type that will trigger the evaluation of this transition. An optional Condition (guard) that must also be true for the transition to occur. A single state can have multiple "Next State" entries, allowing it to transition to different states based on different events or conditions. The State Machine evaluates these potential transitions (typically in the order they are listed in the UI) when it is in the current state. 3.5. Transition Event Type (in MachineLogic) The event that initiates a transition to a Next State can currently take one of two forms: a) Topic: This type waits for an event to be generated with an exact match to the event topic string defined in the "Topic" field (see Figure 6a). Events can be generated by various means within MachineLogic, such as: The Generate Event command. A button widget in the HMI Builder. Any generic MQTT Topic received on the …

Introduction The Custom Metric feature allows MachineLogic program variables to be displayed through the MachineAnalytics dashboard. This feature allows users to view program variables to monitor critical metrics, debug processes, and optimize performance without diving into code. Whether you’re managing production lines, Deploying machines, or fine-tuning processes, this feature provides clear visibility into your program’s state, empowering you to make data-driven decisions efficiently. This guide provides the guidelines to configure custom metrics for any MachineLogic programs running on a MachineMotion controller. Important: The MachineAnalytics Custom Metric feature can only display numerical values. MachineLogic Code-Free Please note that MachineLogic Code-Free programming does not yet provide a code-free instruction to send variables to MachineAnalytics. The steps below show how to manually send a variable value to MachineAnalytics using Lambda functions and the Add Output instruction * For any assistance while using the custom metric feature with …

… and therefore funnel all information from the same place. Programming MachineLogic allows you to easily program your machine through its graphical interface and its low-code infrastructure. When it comes to MQTT communication, the same simple programming approach applies. To create a MachineLogic program using MQTT communication, here are the main commands: To subscribe to a given topic, the State Machine or Wait For command can be used. Figure 4: Subscribe to a topic in MachineLogic To publish to a given topic, the Generate Event output command can be used. Figure 5: Publish to a topic in MachineLogic For more complex applications, you can also include payloads via the Variables and Functions features. Figure 6: Variables and functions feature on MachineLogic Introduction to HTTP Definitions Client : A software application or a program such as a web browser that initiates requests to web servers.
