TIC Description

Definition

M

Situation while the subject is “On” and [not receiving any input (order, instruction, signal) regardless of the origin (local or remote, manual or automatic) to execute any action (to do something the machine was designed for) and it is not currently executing any output (operational) movement]

TIC Description

Further Detail

O

“Idle” is the opposite of “Working” while the subject is On. When the subject is “Off=TRUE” then “Idle=FALSE” and “Working=FALSE”

Working represents if the machine is not busy while it is “On”

Idle is referring to operational definition not about the “ralenti” ideling engine definition.

For example in a classical CHE it is considered idle only if all these actions are false (not active):

1. All inputs to the equipment from the operator

2. Handling (Hoist, Trolley , lift or similars)

3. Driving, displacement (Gantry or similar)

4. Alignment movements (machine with cargo)

5. Spreader Locking-unloking movement

6. Spreader extension-retraction-change of mode.

Will not be taken into account

1. Engine running

2. Internal adjustment of ropes tension

3. Any internal element running (moving) or internal parts that need to be running continuously (fans, ventilation etc)

Example

M

che_idle_status: TRUE = the Container Handler Equipment is not receiving any command from the driver (joystick) and it is not moving any element to perform a job (drive, hoist, gantry, trolley, etc).

che_spreader_idle_status: TRUE = the Spreader of the Container Handler Equipment is unlocked and not expanding-retracting or switching between modes.

TIC Description

Example in the context of the grammar

M

An RTG is doing gantry but because inertia so the RTG is not idle.

che_drive_command_status: FALSE; che_drive_status: TRUE; che_idle_status: FALSE

TIC Description

Link to one or more operational processes

M

Any CHE load or discharge or driving operation.
