Dish Mode Aggregation Rules

The Dish Manager derives the aggregated dish mode from the operating modes and states of the DS, SPF and SPFRx devices.

Note

  • MAINTENANCE mode is not aggregated from subdevice operating modes. It is commanded directly on the Dish Manager.

  • For the case where devices are set to ignored, the conditions below are evaluated with the ignored device(s) removed from consideration.

  • Devices that can be ignored are SPF and/or SPFRX by setting dish manager attributes ignoreSpf and/or ignoreSpfrx to True.

  • Conditions are evaluated in order of precedence, with the first matching condition determining the dish mode.

  • If none of the conditions below are met, the dish mode defaults to UNKNOWN.

Rule Overview

Order

Dish Mode

Condition

1

STARTUP

Any subdevice is in startup:

  • DS.operatingmode == STARTUP

  • SPF.operatingmode == STARTUP

  • SPFRX.operatingmode == STARTUP

2

STOW

DS.operatingmode == STOW

3

CONFIG

Either:

  • SPFRX.operatingmode == CONFIGURE

  • DS.indexerposition == MOVING

4

OPERATE

All required devices:

  • DS.operatingmode == POINT

  • SPF.operatingmode == OPERATE

  • SPFRX.operatingmode == OPERATE

5

STANDBY_LP

Dish structure is in standby low power and SPF is not in OPERATE:

  • DS.operatingmode == STANDBY

  • DS.powerstate == LOW_POWER

  • SPF.operatingmode != OPERATE

6

STANDBY_FP

Dish structure is in standby and full power:

  • DS.operatingmode == STANDBY

  • DS.powerstate == FULL_POWER
