Down

---

Downtime-Specific System Function

The Down statement makes a Location, with the specified called downtime, attempt to go down. This statement is used in conjunction with the Called Downtime dialog, where you have previously defined the called downtime’s name, priority, and logic.

Syntax

Down <dtname>, {<priority>}

Example

Down Break, 1

Parameters

<dtname>

The name of the downtime, which you have defined for you model, to attempt to activate.

{<priority>}

Defines how high the downtime priority and whether or not other tasks are completed before the downtime is activated.

Remarks

When Down is executed, the called downtime attempts to execute its logic. The execution timing of the called downtime's logic depends on the Location's state and the called downtime's priority.

The Down statement does not need to be called from the processing logic at the location that is to go down. It can be called from any logic in your model.
