SEQUENTIAL FUNCTION CHART
OBJECTIVE
The students will be able to successfully implement sequential controls using step
sequences. The students understand the structure and effect of step sequences, and are
introduced to corresponding design methods. Knowledge about operating modes and
protective measures is expanded for sequential controls. The students understand the
interaction between the programs for basic automation and the sequen

Industry Automation and Drive Technologies - SCE THEORY CONTINUOUS AND SEQUENTIAL CONTROLS Within the scope of basic automation, different logic control systems are developed that implement a limited, clearly defined function. The functions continuously process input signals and generate corresponding output signals. By means of different control signals, the functions can also be activated and parameterized. To implement complex process sequences -for example, manufacturing recipes

Industry Automation and Drive Technologies - SCE Loops within the step sequence occur when by sequencing several steps a cyclical run within a sequence is possible. The sequence loop represents a special case of a loop where all steps are run cyclically. Another option for structuring step sequences is jumps. When a jump mark is reached, processing continues with the step to which the jump mark points. Jumps within the step sequence can also result in loops. Since such a structure

Industry Automation and Drive Technologies - SCE A particular control engineering problem is the possibility to generate -by unfavorably using jumps and branches- faulty step sequences. We are distinguishing three possible cases. – Uncertain sequence: A step sequence contains a structure whose availability is not ensured through the defined sequential performance. – Partially stuck: A step sequence contains an internal loop that is not exited. Although the steps within this loop are ex

Industry Automation and Drive Technologies - SCE DESIGN OF SEQUENCE CONTROLS There are numerous formal design methods for sequence controls. In practice, however, particularly the state diagrams and Petri’s network have proven themselves. A state diagram is a connected, oriented diagram. States are represented as circles and the state transitions as arrows that connect exactly two states. In a state diagram, always exactly one state is active at a time. The states can be linked to c

Industry Automation and Drive Technologies - SCE PROTECTION FUNCTIONS AND OPERATING MODES IN SEQUENCE CONTROLS Just as for the individual drive functions, adequate protection functions and operating modes have to be implemented for sequence controls. It has to be possible to operate sequence controls manually if there is a fault. To this end, corresponding operating modes have to be provided for in the control. – Automatic mode: The action of the step sequence is executed if the preced

Industry Automation and Drive Technologies - SCE subsequent transition of an active step automatically sets an operator prompt (O = Operator). – Switching Mode T or O: The sequence control is running process controlled or operator controlled. The transition is enabled either through an operator command or a step enabling condition that was met. – Switching Mode T and O: The sequence control is running process controlled and operator controlled. The transition is enabled only based on

Industry Automation and Drive Technologies - SCE STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TASK Based on the recipe in the chapter 'Process Description’ we are setting up and programming an SFC step sequence. For this chapter, we reduced the recipe to the following sequence: 1. First, 350ml are to be drained from educt tank =SCE.A1.T1-B003 to reactor =SCE.A1.T2-R001. 2. When reactor =SCE.A1.T2-R001 is filled, the liquid it contains is to be heated to 25°C and the stirrer is to be switched on. 3.
