Define a new Equipment Sequence

Use the
New Equipment Sequence
 dialog box to define the name, description, containing task, and revision information of a new Equipment Sequence. Equipment Sequences can be created only while offline.
For required boxes that are blank, or for boxes that contain errors, the border for that box is outlined in red. If hovering the cursor over the box, a tooltip displays information about the error. The
OK
 and
Apply
 buttons are unavailable if the dialog box contains invalid data.
Before you begin:
  • Go offline with the controller.
To define a new Equipment Sequence:
  1. Go to
    File > New Component >
    Equipment Sequence
    to open the
    New
    Equipment Sequence
     dialog box.
  2. In
    Name
    , enter a name for the Equipment Sequence.
  3. (Optional) In
    Description
    , enter a description for the Equipment Sequence.
  4. (Optional) To make the
    Equipment Sequence
     program a child of an existing program in the logical model, select the
    Parent
    program. Otherwise, select
    None
    .
  5. From the
    Schedule In
     drop-down list, choose the task to schedule the
    Equipment Sequence
    .
    The list contains only tasks in which the
    Equipment Sequence
     can be scheduled. When creating the
    Equipment Sequence
     by right-clicking a task in the
    Controller Organizer
    , that task is selected in this drop-down by default.
  6. (Optional) To give the
    Equipment Sequence
     a version string for event reporting purposes, select from the menus for
    Major
    and
    Minor
    , and enter text in
    Extended Text
    .
    • Major
      : The major revision number of the
      Equipment Sequence
      . The default value is 1.
    • Minor
      : The minor revision number of the
      Equipment Sequence
      . The default value is 0.
    • Extended Text
      : Enter additional revision information. For example, entering
      c
       in this field, makes the equipment sequence version 1.0c. The maximum number of displayable characters is 40. Any characters exceeding the limit are ignored.
  7. (Optional) To continue describing the
    Equipment Sequence
     revision, use the
    Revision Note
    .
    For example, list the changes made to the
    Equipment Sequence
     since the last revision.
  8. (Optional) To inhibit this Equipment Sequence and prevent it from being owned or commanded, select the
    Inhibit Sequence
     check box. The check box is cleared by default.
    An Equipment Sequence’s icon displays in the
    Controller Organizer
     with the inhibited indicator: L5K_Silc_Inhibited_EquipSequence_icon
  9. (Optional) To open the
    Equipment Sequence
     Editor upon creation of a sequence, select the

     check box. The check box is selected by default.
  10. To configure additional
    Equipment Sequence
     attributes upon creation of a sequence, select the
    Open properties
     check box. The check box is clear by default. Select
    OK
    and the
    Equipment Sequence Properties
     dialog box opens to the
    General
    tab.
  11. Select
    OK
     to create the Equipment Sequence, or select
    Cancel
     to discard all changes and close the dialog box without creating the Equipment Sequence.
