Variable Type Use
BOLTSTATE BOLT_STATE_ARR This variable is an array of 50 elements of type
BOLT_STATE_TYPE. Each element indicates the current
state of a bolt.
The BOLT_STATE_TYPE is a structure containing the
following BOOL flags:

DONOTRUN True if the bolt is ordered not to run, either
using the PLC output BOLTCONTROL or the ToolsTalk
PowerMACS "Mode Table" form.

DISCON_OK True if the bolt is disconnected with OK
status, either using the PLC output BOLTCONTROL or
the ToolsTalk PowerMACS forms "Mode Table" or "Bolt
Set Up".

DISCON_NOK True if the bolt is disconnected with NOK
status, either using the PLC output BOLTCONTROL or
the ToolsTalk PowerMACS forms "Mode Table" or "Bolt
Set Up".

IDLE True if the bolt is connected normally and is idle,
that is, it is not disconnected or ordered not to run and is
not executing a cycle.

RUNNING True if the bolt is running a cycle, that is, it is
not idle. This includes running reject management,
evaluating and waiting for PLC as well.

RUNNING_RM True if the bolt is running reject
management.

EVALUATING True if the bolt is evaluating its
monitoring results.

WAITING_FOR_PLC True if the bolt is waiting for a new
START signal due to that it is executing a step that
requires a this to continue.
Note: Since the connect state (Do not run, Disconnected
OK, Disconnected NOK) of a bolt may depend on the MODE
(the Mode Table form), changing the value of the MODE
input may affect this variable.
This means that BOLTSTATE[x] always will reflect whether
or not bolt x is disconnected or not, regardless from where it
is disconnected.
Use this variable together with BOLTSTATUS_EXT as an
alternative to the earlier BOLTSTATUS input.
