Configure Equipment Sequence properties

Configure
Equipment Sequence
 properties using the
Configuration
 tab in the
Equipment Sequence
 Properties
 dialog box. 
Before you begin:
  • Go offline with the controller.
To configure
Equipment Sequence
 properties:
  1. Open the
    Equipment Sequence Properties
     dialog box by right-clicking the Equipment Sequence name in the
    Controller Organizer
     or
    Logical Organizer
     and selecting
    Properties
    .
  2. Select the
    Configuration
     tab and revise the properties as necessary.
    1. (Optional) Select the
      Retain sequence ID when resetting sequenc
      e option to retain the sequence ID when resetting the Equipment Sequence. If this option is not selected, a RESET command clears the Sequence ID value of an Equipment Sequence.
    2. (Optional) Select the
      Generate sequence events
       option to generate sequencing events recording the manufacturing process. This includes operator commands, changes in sequence attributes, and changes in sequencing parameters and step tag values.
    3. (Optional) When selecting the
      Generate sequence events
       option, enter a number for the
      Unit ID
       option. The
      Unit ID
       is an integer value assigned to represent the equipment unit the sequence is coordinating. This value is recorded with sequence events to identify the equipment coordinated.
    4. (Optional) When starting sequence, there are two options:
      • Use initial value of the tag
        : Select this option to reinitialize all sequencing parameter and step tag value fields with their configured
        Initial Value
         field when a START command is sent to the
        Equipment Sequence
        .
      • Use current value of the tag
        : Select this option to retain the value of all sequencing parameter and step tag value fields when a START command is sent to the
        Equipment Sequence
        .
    5. (Optional) When resetting sequence, there are two options:
      • Restore the tag to its initial value
        : Select this option to reinitialize all sequencing parameter and step tag value fields with their configured
        Initial Value
         field when a RESET command is sent to the sequence.
      • Maintain current value of the tag
        : Select this option to retain the value of all sequencing parameter and step tag value fields when a RESET command is sent to the sequence.
Select the
Inhibit equipment sequence
 check box to prevent the controller from executing this
Equipment Sequence
. Clear the check box and the controller will execute the
Equipment Sequence
. The check box is clear by default. If the
Equipment Sequence
 is inhibited, n
Equipment Sequence
 icon displays in the
Controller Organizer
 with the inhibited decorator:
