Equipment States and State Classes | Script to mass change Equipment Class assignment for (many) Cell Group(s) or Cell(s) under a Line

Global Equipment Class Change to Cell Groups and Cells

You have a Line with a large number of Cell Group(s) or Cell(s) and you want to mass change the Equipment Class assignment.

The Equipment Manager will work just great for a small number of objects but click / change / save will definitely gets .. complicated 
when dealing with a large number of Equipment.

Step-by-step guide

Use the Following Script to set the state class of an equipment object and any direct children (not nested children)

Copy Code
Python
# Set root Equipment Path here
eqPath = '[global]\\<Enterprise>\\<Site>\\<Area>\\<Line>'
# Set State Class here
myEqStateClass = '<new Equipment Class to use>'

def set_state_uuid(saveList, equipmentObject, stateUUID):
    equipmentObject.setPropertyValue('EquipmentStateClassUUID', stateUUID)
    saveList.add(equipmentObject)
    print 'Setting UUID (' + stateUUID + ') on equipment (' + equipmentObject.getName() +')'
    childLinks = equipmentObject.getChildCollection().values()
    for childLink in childLinks:
        childObj = childLink.getMESObject()
        if childObj.getMESObjectType().getStorageType().getName() == 'Equipment':
            set_state_uuid(saveList, childObj, stateUUID)
    return
    
saveList = system.mes.object.list.createList()
stateClassLink = system.mes.getMESObjectLinkByName('EquipmentStateClass', myEqStateClass)
equipment = system.mes.loadMESObjectByEquipmentPath(eqPath)

set_state_uuid(saveList, equipment, stateClassLink.getMESObjectUUID())
system.mes.saveMESObjects(saveList)
