Positions

Description

The Position function is made so that the HLM software can track and manage important physical locations in a facility. In the HLM database, a position refers to a pre-determined physical location where you can have equipment.

For example, locations where experiments can be done and that would use liquid Helium taken from vessels is a position used for feeding the system.

Positions are important because they are fixed locations where feeding or draining of the system happens. For this reason, they are represented on the web client developed at HZB in the network diagram. Because positions and other objects such as vessels can be physically in the same place, they are also displayed in the same place in the network overview. For this reason the OC_DISPLAYPRIORITY was created so that you can specify what object you want to display above others on the network overview.

Position class

Because the position function was made solely for pre-determined locations where equipment can be used, it currently only has one object class. The object class is called Position.

The Position class has a position type of 3.

Position object types

The database has by default only one object type for the Position object class, called Position.
