Run time:
You can enter a time that you have determined for the runtime of this phase. The format is
day:hours:minutes:seconds.
Monitoring time:
You can enter a time for monitoring the phase. If this time elapses and the phase has not yet
been executed, the message "Runtime exceeded" is output.
Scaling the run time:
You can use scaling functions (Page 579) to make processes quantity-dependent. Depending
on the specific quantity of the batch, the duration of a step is also corrected via the set scaling
function. By default, "linear" and "quadratic" scaling functions are available for selection. The
scaling function involves scaling both the runtime and monitoring time.
Continue:
With this option, a flag can be set for a recipe phase that is not self-terminating so that this
recipe phase is not completed when the "running" state is exited. Thus you can implement a
control strategy change on the fly with two consecutive recipe steps without interrupting the
automation level.
If the "Continue" option is selected, this is also indicated in the recipe phase by three dots that
stand for "Continue".
Note
The flag for the "Continue" option can always be set. However it is the user's responsibility to
determine whether it is possible for this operating mode to take effect.
For this two requirements must be met, which can even be changed during runtime of the
batch:
● I/O SELFCOMP = 0 (with SFC external view or SFC type instance)
To prevent the equipment phase from completing of its own accord following execution
and, therefore, enable it to continue, this condition must be fulfilled during configuration in
the CFC.
● I/O ENASTART = 1 (with SFC external view or SFC type instance)
If you want to restart the same equipment phase in a second recipe step with modified
setpoints, this condition must be fulfilled in the CFC.
Description of the function:
A text that was entered in the basic engineering for the EPH is displayed.
