Work cycle

A work cycle comprises an empty cycle and a load cycle. The work cycle includes the empty cycle to the load, the positioning process, the load pick-up, the load cycle, the positioning process and the load discharge.

Empty cycle

The empty cycle is the phase of the work cycle in which the machine moves to the position where the load is picked up again. The empty cycle begins after the load discharge and ends before the load is picked up again. The empty cycle therefore includes the traveling path without load and the positioning for picking up the load again.

Load cycle

The load cycle is the phase of the work cycle in which the machine moves the load. The load cycle begins with load pick-up and ends with load discharge. The traveling path with load is located between these limitations.

Enumeration

An enumeration defines a fixed set of valid values for a field or attribute. This standardizes data entry and ensures consistent processing of the data.

Example:

OperatingCondition = Working, Waiting, Travelling, EngineOff
