pause

Short summary​

Provides access to the pause configuration for the current cycle manager step.

Purpose and usage​

This property returns the pause configuration interface that allows setting pause-related parameters for the current step. It provides a fluent interface for configuring how the cycle manager handles pause requests for this specific step, overriding sequence defaults.

The pause configuration controls:

  • Whether pausing is allowed for this step
  • Step-specific pause timeout behavior
  • Resume conditions for this step
  • Step-specific pause state handling

typical usage patterns​

  1. Disable pause: Prevent pausing on critical steps
  2. Enable pause: Allow pausing on safe steps
  3. Override defaults: Change pause behavior for specific steps
  4. Step-specific timeout: Set different pause timeout for steps

When to use​

  • To prevent pausing during critical operations
  • To enable pausing on specific wait or idle steps
  • When step-specific pause behavior differs from sequence default
  • For fine-grained pause control in complex sequences

Example​

// Disable pause for critical step
CASE cycleManager.steps.current OF
    MySteps.PREPARE_CRITICAL:
        cycleManager.configuration.configuration.step
            .pause.disable();
        cycleManager.steps.next := MySteps.CRITICAL_OPERATION;
        
    MySteps.WAIT_FOR_USER:
        // Enable pause for wait step
        cycleManager.configuration.configuration.step
            .pause.enable();
        IF userInput THEN
            cycleManager.steps.next := MySteps.PROCESS_INPUT;
        END_IF;
END_CASE

// Configure step with specific pause settings
cycleManager.configuration.configuration.step
    .pause
    .enable()
    .timeout(T#60S);  // Longer pause allowed for this step
