Equipment Actions

An equipment action writes one interface variable of a piece of equipment — Equipment.Interface.SetVariable(value). It is the most common action a state performs.

The dialog

Add → Equipment Action opens a picker. Expand Equipment → your equipment (e.g. Motor) and choose the setter you want; the right pane sets the Value. Selecting SetSpeed (Double) with a fixed value of 100 builds the action live in the Result line:

The Configure Equipment Action dialog: the tree shows Generic Equipment and Equipment (Motor with SetCoil, SetOverload, SetRunning, SetSpeed, SetStart); SetSpeed (Double) is selected, Value is Fixed 100, and the Result reads Motor.IMotor.SetSpeed(100) — Pick the equipment setter, set the value; the **Result** shows the action text.

Motor.IMotor.SetSpeed(100)

Fixed value or from a variable

The value can be a Fixed literal, or read From Variable — another equipment signal or a global. That lets one signal drive another:

Motor.IMotor.SetSpeed(Motor.IMotor.Output)   // from an equipment signal
Motor.IMotor.SetSpeed(Global.TempSetpoint)   // from a global

Text patterns

Form	Example
Set (fixed)	`Motor.IMotor.SetSpeed(100)`
Set (from variable)	`Motor.IMotor.SetSpeed(Motor.IMotor.Output)`
Array element	`Motors[0].IMotor.SetSpeed(50)`
Map key	`Motor.IMotor.SetConfig['Kp'](1.0)`
Record field	`Motor.IMotor.SetRecordField('Data','Active',true)`

Generic vs concrete. An equipment action names a specific equipment template (Motor). When you use the state in a composite, that Motor placeholder is mapped to a concrete instance — Conveyor1, Line2, and so on. See Composite Mapping. If you want an action with no fixed target, use a generic action instead.
