  • What causes this issue?

    A condition (formula, function, or event) can be used to automatically
    trigger an action (for example <LS>Activate process instruction</>) in
    the <DS:GLOS.3526C51EAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>PI sheet</> or
    <DS:GLOS.389B9DAA500F0E7CE10000009B38F931>manufacturing cockpit</>.
    The allowed maximum number of actions was exceeded during the automatic
    execution of these actions. A recursion probably exists, which means
    that one action always triggers the other and vice versa.
    For example, the process instruction is to be activated when the event
    <LS>Process instruction deactivated</> is triggered and it is to be
    deactivated again when the event <LS>Process instruction activated</>
    is triggered. This causes an endless loop.
    The following process instruction definition can, for example, cause a
    recursion:
    Characteristic,,Characteristic Value
    PPPI_COMMAND,,Activate process instruction
    PPPI_EVENT,,Process instruction deactivated
    PPPI_COMMAND,,Deactivate process instruction
    PPPI_EVENT,,Process instruction activated

    System Response

    The system terminates the automatic execution of actions.

    How to fix this error?

    Check your process instruction definition.
