Immobilization Duration

The “Immobilization Duration” parameter is a configurable parameter under the Digital Output 1 settings as “Config1”. Here the user will be able to configure the immobilization duration for a time period between 1 minute to 2880 minutes (48 hours), where 0 min will be indefinite immobilization. Immobilization duration is integrated into the existing “immobilize now” process as well as the “scheduled immobilization” process. Therefore, the immobilization period will always expire after this set duration.

For details on how to set up a device for immobilization, see the links below.

Why Set This Duration?

Certain use cases require when an immobilization command is sent to a device, such as a G70 controlling a water pump, the user will only need to send one command to the device that will immobilize the pump for X amount of time when the command is received. This will allow technicians or other users that may not have access to send another command or have to wait until the next command is received, to be able to power on the asset once more. The duration will set the device back to the default state.

If you intend to have the asset immobilized indefinitely until an async command is sent or driver ID is read to mobilize the asset, this setting would need to be left at 0.
