• Message class: CPOC2 - PP-PI-PMA: PI Sheet Messages, SCM Add-On

• Message number: 105

• Message text: Process instruction may only be used in simple data request

<LS>&CAUSE&</>
In the process instruction, a condition is defined that is used to
automatically execute an action (for example, <LS>Deactivate process
instruction</>) in the <DS:GLOS.3526C51EAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>PI
sheet</> or <DS:GLOS.389B9DAA500F0E7CE10000009B38F931>manufacturing
cockpit</>.
An action was assigned as the value to characteristic PPPI_COMMAND or
PPPI_EVENT that refers to a process instruction (for example, <LS>Lock
process instruction</>). However, this is not possible since the
process data request is of the type
<DS:GLOS.3526C502AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>repeated process data request
</>. In this case, the type of the process data request
(PPPI_DATA_REQUEST) must be <LS>simple data request</>.
