Section 1 - Introduction

General
Seq01 is a functional unit for controlling several objects in predefined sequential order in ControlIT, to be operated from 800xA System. Seq01 is a sequence interface only. It doesnt contain any sequence code and is independent of the programming language used to connect or control the objects, although the Sequential Function Chart (SFC) language is preferred. Seq01 is designed for single sequential control. It doesnt support parallel sequences. Seq01 has the following functions and properties: Different control modes, set by operator or by control logic Interlocks function Start & reset control Step and sequence time supervision Alarm & Event detection and handling

Section 3 - Function

Control Modes
There are four different control modes are available in priority order: Man, Auto, E1 and Hold. Active mode is indicated on the faceplate and object display. These modes can also be blocked individually from operator access. When sequence is in one particular mode, control from other location is blocked.

Manual Mode
The operator directly starts the sequence from the faceplate button Start. When the sequence is running, it will complete one step at one time. It will remain on one step until operator give Step command from faceplate button Step to go to the next step. Manual mode can be activated from the Man button on the faceplate or with a rising edge pulse to the input SeqMan of the function block.

Auto Mode
Auto mode can be activated from the Auto button on the faceplate or with a rising edge pulse to the input SeqAuto of the function block. The operator directly starts the sequence from the faceplate button Start. When the sequence is running, after completing the one step, it will go automatically to next step as long as the configured transition conditions are met.

E1 Mode
E1 mode works the same way as Auto mode, but the sequence is started with a rising edge pulse to E1Start. E1 mode can be activated from the E1 button on the faceplate or with a rising edge pulse to the input SeqE1 of the function block.

Hold Mode
Hold mode can be activated from the Hold button on the faceplate or with a rising edge pulse to the input SeqHold of the function block. In this mode, sequence will remain in the current step after completing all the activities in the current step. To continue the sequence, Manual, E1 or auto mode will need to be activated. The table below describes the commands at the different control modes of Seq01.
Order Operator start Operator hold Operator reset Input E1Start Input SeqHoldt Input Reset Manual Start Hold Reset Hold Reset Auto Start Hold Reset Hold Reset E1 Hold Reset Start Hold Reset

Interlocks
The sequence control can be interlocked by signals from the process or control logic. Interlocks are active when the value is False. There are 4 process interlocks available: IB1 - IB4. All can be configured to accept blocking by the operator. They can also be configured as start interlocks. A start interlock will prevent the sequence from starting, but does not stop a running sequence.

Ready for Start

Ready for Start means all condition is cleared for sequence to start. There are no Process interlocks and input parameter Reset is not active. Ready for Start is indicated by the output parameter RFS in the function block.

Start and Reset

Start and reset commands may come from faceplate button or input parameter, depending on the selected control mode. When a start command is issued, it will activate output parameter Run and variable Run in HSI parameter. The variable Run in HSI parameter shall be connected to start SFC logic. The sequence shall be completed within MaxSeqTime. Otherwise, an alarm about the sequence time out is issued, but the sequence will still continue. If the Seq01 is configured as continues sequence (NoTurns = -1), then the MaxSeqTime shall be set to 0 or disable the AEConfig for Sequence Alarm (set to 0). Reset can be performed on running sequence. It will reset the sequence position back to zero. And when restarted, it will back from initial step. Reset can be activated from the Reset button on the faceplate or by setting the input Reset of the function block.

Interaction Window
Interaction Window is used to configure the objects parameter in the Control Builder. It is only accessible when Control Builder is in Online mode by right clicking the function block. The main Interaction Window shows the name and description of the function block. The buttons are link to open the sub-window.

1. General Par Name and Description can be entered from interaction window or from the function block parameters directly. After performing Name Uploader, these values will be used as Object Name and Description and shown in faceplate. Class defines the process section or area in which alarms are grouped. By utilizing Class, the alarms can be filtered. Valid values are 1 - 9999. Severity defines the alarm priority for general alarms. Valid values are 1 - 1000 where 1000 is the highest priority.

2. Order Block & Init Mode Order Block is used to prevent operator from giving an order of certain activity. The faceplate button will be dimmed if order block is activated (set to 1). Init Mode defines the initial mode of the object when cold download is performed. By default, the init mode for Seq01 is Manual mode.

3. Alarm & Event Alarm Configuration is used to configure how to present status changes of certain conditions. Alarm Configuration can be set in 3 different ways: 0 = No alarm or event will be generated 1 = Alarm and event will be generated 2 = Only event will be generated Event Block is used to block the event message generated due to changes in value from logic connection. To enable event for selected message, press the button to set the value to 0. The text message for each alarm / event is stored in the AE Translator aspect. List of events for all operator activity is managed in 800xA system with Audit Trail functionality.

4. Interlock Setting When Block Event is disabled (set to 0), changes in value of the interlock will generate an event message. The text message for each event is stored in the AE Translator aspect. Enabling the Opr Block (set to 1) will give operator the possibility to override the interlock(s) from faceplate. When an interlock is configured as Start Interlock, it will only be monitored during the starting period. Once the object is started, the interlock will no longer be observed.

5. Timer Setting This covers the setting of the sequence. No of Turns specifies the amount of times the sequence is to run. A value of -1 will make the sequence run continuously, repeating from the first step. Interval Time is the time between each turn of the sequence.

Text Configuration
Text Configuration aspect is used to define the text properties of the object, such as interlocks and info texts. It is accessible in the Control Structure. The length of the each text should not exceed more than 50 characters.

Step Name Configuration

Step Names Property Translations aspect is used to define the step description. It can be associated with an object name or any descriptive text. These texts will be shown when the sequence is running in the respective step. Each step supports the following text: 4 Activity text 8 Condition text Current Step text Information text 4 Jump text 4 Jump Name text Next Step text Previous Step text

Select one of the properties, i.e. Activity_1. Enter the text in the column Text when true next to each step number. Before proceed to other properties, click on the Set button. Once completed for all properties, click on the Apply button to save these texts.
