Creating the sequential control system in the SFC chart
Introduction
When you have completed creating the "color_gs" project with the PCS 7 "New Project" wizard,
PCS 7 SMART automatically creates an SFC.
When you open a new SFC in the SFC Editor, a sequencer with the following elements is
displayed in the SFC:
● START" step
● Transition 1
● END" step
When you insert steps and transitions, the SFC Editor assigns continuous numbers. Later, you
can replace these numbers with descriptive, plant-specific names. Now, you can edit the
"SFC_RMT1 SFC from the "color_gs"project with the SFC Editor.
Procedure
1. Select the "SFC_RMT1" SFC in the SFC Editor.
2. Select View > Toolbar if the toolbar buttons for inserting steps and transitions are hidden.
This opens the toolbar.
3. Select Insert > Step + Transition.
The cursor transforms into a small cross and a circle with a bar.
4. Position the cursor under transition 1, wait until a green line appears. Now, click the relevant
object to insert.
Step "3" and transition "2" are then incorporated into the SFC.
