SITRAIN Training for Automation and Drives Step: Step No. (No. max. 999) and step name (max. 24 contiguous characters) Initial step: Execution start without querying a start transition after sequencer RESET (INIT_SQ) or return jump or initial start of the sequencer Transition The transition contains the conditions which allow mode- dependent enabling from one step to the successor step.

SITRAIN Training for Automation and Drives S xxx End of sequencer Switches off the sequencer completely when end of sequencer is reached. The sequencer can only be started again by selective enabling of a step in this sequencer (e.g. initial step or via step selection) Application: tasks that are executed once, e.g. approach / retract program Jump to a step (forwards or backwards) Application: cyclic execution, machine loop Basic Elements of a Sequencer (2)

SITRAIN Training for Automation and Drives Open alternative branch Application: left branch error-free, right branch with errors Only one branch can be active in automatic and inching mode. The transition in the left branch always has priority 1, all other transitions according to the ascending transition no. Execution is from top to bottom and left to right. Close alternative branch The corresponding branch is also closed for execution to the left. Evolution is from top to bottom and right to left. 1st priority2nd priority Priority sequence in limit case: all Tx simultaneously satisfied Basic Elements of a Sequencer (3)

SITRAIN Training for Automation and Drives Open simultaneous branch Synchronization of all associated steps after the opening branch in the same PLC cycle. Then each branch is independently executed. Possible to enable all branches in the same PLC cycle First steps are also called opening steps Close simultaneous branch Synchronization at joining, i.e. all branches wait for one another until all steps preceding the closing branch are active. Only then is execution switched simultaneously to the left branch via the successor transition. Last steps are also called closing steps. Basic Elements of a Sequencer (4)
