Logical States for the Manual Mode

Logical states are set to describe the situation. For example, the actual state of a resource is INACTIVE and the desired state is ACTIVE. In manual mode, the operator is required to act. Automation does not take place to bring the actual state of the resource to ACTIVE (to satisfy the desired state) without operator intervention. Therefore, use the ATTENTION logical state to indicate to the operator that action is required.

Using the settings in the Logical State Attributes Table panel shown previously as an example, a resource that is in a state of ATTENTION is displayed in low intensity pink.
