If time monitoring was programmed with Si.U, the acknowledgment signal
resets the monitoring time so that the supervision condition is no longer
satisfied.
•
Compilation options "Acknowledge Errors" not checked:
The error is cleared when the supervision conditions are no longer satisfied.
Notes:
If the step enabling condition is satisfied during the acknowledgment cycle, the next
step is enabled.
Please remember that the supervisions defined in the sequencer are specific to a
particular step and only monitor the execute time of the relevant actions. If, for
example, a motor is turned on in step 1, the run-up time can be monitored in step
1. Once this step is deactivated, the motor is no longer monitored in the sequencer.
If you want the motor to be monitored permanently and independent of the
sequencer, this must implemented at the underlying unit level.
Abort Situations
Abort situations occur when an "immediate stop" or "emergency off" is set due to a
critical situation or when a fault occurs in units. In these situations, all movements
must be stopped or frozen with the following effects:
•
The sequencers are stopped by switching to SW_MAN.
•
At the unit level, the output signals are deactivated by canceling the automatic
enable.
Synchronization
Synchronization of the sequencer with the state of the process or machine is
required at least in the following situations:
•
Case 1: A program change in the installation and startup phase meant that the
instance DB had to be regenerated.
•
Case 2: In the setup or manual mode, units were controlled manually so that the
state of the sequencer no longer corresponds to the state of the process or
machine. Following a manual intervention, and depending on the process, the
automatic mode must be resumed starting at the current state of the system or
machine.
In Case 1, the menu command Debug > Control Sequencer can be used in the
manual mode to set and reset steps directly when working on the programming
device so that the state that existed before the program change can be set.
In Case 2, synchronization can be achieved directly working on the programming
device. Synchronization then involves the following steps:
1. Select the menu command Options > Block Settings and make sure that the
“Synchronization" option is selected in the "Compile/Save" tab page.
