Assigning parameters to the steps of the SFC chart
Introduction
Using an SFC, you can assign values to the block inputs of the CFCs. The initial settings for
the sequence of the dosing process are made with the first "START" step.
Each step for which you have defined an action is displayed in dark gray. This indicates that
you can see whether a a step has been assigned parameters or not at a glance.
Prerequisites
● The "SFC_RMT1" SFC is open in the SFC Editor.
● The names of the steps and transitions have been adapted.
Procedure
1. Double-click "START".
The "Properties" dialog box opens and the "General" tab is selected.
2. Switch to the "Initialization" tab.
This tab displays an empty list known as statement lines; the cursor is positioned in the left
column of the first line.
3. Click "Browse".
The "Browse" dialog box opens with the "Plant View" tab activated. In this dialog, the plant
hierarchy is displayed in the left section and the I/Os of the block you have selected in the
plant hierarchy are shown in the right section.
