T2T (Trigger-To-Trigger)
Searches the table for particular conditions ('triggers') to be met, making time-frames out of the spaces between them.
This layer deletes the table.
Parameters
Name | Default | Meaning |
---|---|---|
a | The condition for the start trigger | |
b | The condition for the end trigger. If not provided, 'a' is used. | |
inside | inside | The name used for all times inside the range (ie. 'Loading') |
outside | The optional name used for all times outside the range (ie. 'Not Loading') |
Description
This layer searches a table of values to look for when the 'a' (and optionally 'b') conditions are met.
It then creates time-frames for each of these time-windows between.
For example, Trigger A might be {Speed} > 0 while Trigger B might be {Speed} == 0.
This will then create timeframes for all times when your speed is greater than 0.
Single Trigger
If you only specify a Trigger A, the system will capture the time it takes for the condition to happen again. So a trigger like {Speed} == 0 would create timeframes for every window where the machine ran.
Naming Outside Times
If you provide an outside name, time-frames will also be created for the opposite conditions - the times between Trigger B and Trigger A.
For example, lets say we have a machine that moves between 0 and 100%, along with the following layer…
{ "type": "t2t", "a": "{Machine.Position} < 2", "b": "{Machine.Position} > 98", "inside": "Leaving", "outside": "Returning" }
In this case, you'll get leaving timeframes when the machine is heading from 0% to 100%, and returning timeframes when the machine is heading back towards 0%.
Example
If the frame contains the following table of data…
Attribute | Value |
---|---|
StartTime | 09:00AM |
EndTime | 10:00AM |
Time | Machine.Position |
---|---|
09:00AM | 0 |
09:10AM | 20 |
09:20AM | 80 |
09:30AM | 100 |
09:40AM | 50 |
09:50AM | 12 |
10:00AM | 0 |
{ "type": "t2t", "a": "{Machine.Position} < 2", "b": "{Machine.Position} > 98", "inside": "Leaving", "outside": "Returning" }
The final result will be two time-frames.
StartTime | EndTime | Name |
---|---|---|
09:00AM | 9:30AM | Leaving |
09:30AM | 10:00AM | Returning |
