2.1 Process pictures in Plant iT Process Graphics

The process pictures with which you control a plant are contained in the
Plant iT Process Graphics application.
If your project uses sequences for the process automation, the process pictures
contain not only the representation of the plant, but also sequence-specific
display elements (visualization controls). You can use these controls to operate
and monitor the sequences.
Example
1: Visualization control in compact representation (ProClass)
Further information: Chapter 3.1, "Sequence status as bitmap (ProClass
control)"

Fundamentals
Multi-level operating concept
2.2 Multi-level operating concept

As for the aggregates (e.g. motors or valves), the process picture also provides
a multi-level operating concept for the sequences. It consists of the following
components:
Representation/monitoring level:
The process picture shows the sequences in the form of visualization
controls (Figure 1). There are several ways of representing sequences in
the process picture.
Operation level:
An operator dialog exists also for sequences. On the one hand, it shows
you all detailed information about the sequence. On the other hand you
can use the operator dialog to control the sequences.
Sequence overview:
The sequence overview provides you with a representation type with which
you can monitor and control several sequences together.
2.2.1 Process picture: Representation of the sequence using controls
You can use the visualization controls in the process picture for two purposes:
They provide basic information about the status of a sequence. Because
the controls lie directly in the process picture, this information is always
available at a glance.
You can use the controls to open the operator dialog of the sequence.
Further information: Structure and method of operation of the controls:
Chapter 3, "Representation in the process picture"
2.2.2 Operator dialog: Detailed information and control
The operator dialog is a dialog window that overlays the process picture after it
has been called. It contains all relevant information for a sequence and the
buttons used to control the sequence.
You can use the operator dialog in two ways:
Standard operator dialog
Extended operator dialog
Availability
The operator dialog is also available in the following tools:
Tool Invocation
Plant iT Manager When sequence object selected:
Context menu | Operator dialog | Sequence

Configuration Client When sequence object selected:
Context menu | Operator dialog

V8.20, R07 9
Fundamentals
Use of the standard operator dialog

You see here the most important information about the sequence status.
You can select what you normally need to start a sequence (e.g. selection
of the required recipe).
You find the buttons used to control a sequence.
Example
Figure 2
Further information: Structure and method of operation of the standard

operator dialog: Chapter 4.1, "Standard operator dialog"

From the standard operator dialog, you can call the extended operator dialog
with a mouse click. The extended operator dialog displays all parameterized
values for the sequence.
Use of the extended operator dialog

You typically use the extended operator dialog for the following:
Monitor the details for the execution of a sequence (e.g. execution, actual
values)
Set manual values (e.g. setpoints)
Intervene in the execution of a sequence to convert the configured
specifications or rectify malfunctions.

Further information: Structure and method of operation of the extended

operator dialog: Chapter 4.2, "Extended operator dialog"
2.2.3 Sequence overview: Sequences in shared display
The sequence overview is a dialog window that displays several sequences

concurrently as a table.
The sequences to be displayed in the sequence overview can be set using
filters and object lists.
Use of the sequence overview

You monitor the displayed sequences.
The table columns show the most important information about the status
and the parameterization. You can set the values only in the operator
dialog of the sequence.
You control the sequences using the buttons at the lower edge of the
window.

Safety information
2.3 Safety information

Some of the operating steps described in this manual can place the plant in a
critical state. This can cause material damage or even injury to persons.
The following notes show you
For which operating steps you must proceed with utmost caution,
How you can prevent critical plant states
Further information: "Safety recommendations" section
2.3.1 Manual operating mode
Background
Method of operation
Depending on the configuration, the Manual operating mode can bring the plant
into a critical state.
Example
The manual operating mode should typically be configured so that the
automatic control of the sequence is interrupted immediately.
This means:
The attained control state of the aggregate is retained (example: a
currently opened valve remains open; currently running heating operations
continue).
If the operator does not manually continue to control the plant, damage can
occur to the plant, e.g. because of over-heating.
Invocation
You can activate the Manual operating mode in the following operating
elements:
Operator dialog for the Sequence object:
Further information: Chapter 4.1.3, "Buttons"
Sequence overview:
Further information: Chapter 5, "Sequence overview"
Danger
Missing or incorrect manual control can cause injury to persons and

material damage.
The plant can then assume a critical state:
If you do not continue to control the process manually after switching the
operating mode.

V8.20, R07 13
Fundamentals
Safety information
If you perform inappropriate control actions for the process.
Safety recommendations
Use the Manual operating mode only:
When you have been instructed with which consequences the operating
mode has for your plant and which special dangers result.
When you have received the explicit authorization to control the sequences
in the manual operating mode.
Ensure that the passive safety mechanisms in the plant control prevent
dangers in the Manual operating mode (e.g. locks).
Administer the user groups so that the Manual operating mode is disabled
for unauthorized operators.
2.3.2 Simulation control mode
Background
Method of operation
The Simulation control mode is used for configuring a plant. In the simulation
mode, you can execute a sequence without the active safety mechanisms in
normal operation.
The following mechanisms are deactivated:
The UserHold signal is bypassed.
The messages configured as an alarm.
Note: System alarms will still be displayed.
Invocation
You can call the Simulation control mode in the standard operator dialog.
Danger
Missing safety mechanisms can cause injury to persons and material

damage.
In particular, the overriding of the UserHold signal can cause the plant to be
brought into a critical state.
Use this function only

V8.20, R07 14
Fundamentals
Safety information
When you have received the explicit authorization for this type of sequence
control,
During the configuring phase (when the process control engineering is not
yet connected to the plant).
During the commissioning, it can be necessary to use the Simulation
control mode even when a plant is already connected. This, however, can
only be done by configuring engineers who intimately know the plant
process.
Administer the user groups so that the simulation control mode is disabled
for non-authorized operators.
2.3.3 Manual selection of the next process step
Background
Method of operation
In the operator dialog, you have the possibility to manually select the process
operations permitted for a sequence.
Further information: Chapter 4.1.2.2, "Select procedure/recipe, order and
batch number"
Danger
Use in the normal plant operation can cause injury to persons and
material damage
With this function it is possible to bypass the normal execution of a sequence.
This means you can also produce states that in normal plant operation can
cause damage to the plant or even injury to persons.
Use this function only

yet connected to the plant).
In emergencies.
During normal plant operation, the use of this function for test purposes is
conceivable. This requires, however, intimate knowledge of the plant process.

V8.20, R07 15
Fundamentals
Availability of functions
Administer the user groups so that this function is disabled for non-
authorized operators.
2.4 Availability of functions

The control and intervention possibilities available for a sequence depend on
the following prerequisites:
Access rights
If the rights management for Plant iT is used to control your plant, the user
group to which you belong determines which actions you can perform in
conjunction with a sequence.
Normally, not only configuring engineers, but also technical specialists, such as
shift managers and plant operators, have full access rights. Their access rights
can be administered in dedicated user groups.
Sequence status
In addition to the access rights, execution-related conditions determine which
actions in conjunction with a sequence are currently possible. These include:
The status of the sequence.
Example: You can only start a sequence when it is in the Idle or
Completed status. If this is not the case, the Start button in the operator
dialog will not be available.
Further information about the sequence status: Chapter 2.5,
"Sequences: Background information"
Releasing the sequence.
Example: You want to start a sequence for which a start condition has
been configured, e.g. the preselection of a recipe. You cannot start the
sequence unless you have selected a recipe. Also in this case, a symbol
indicates the missing enable.
Operating mode
You can operate sequences in two operating modes:
Operating
Description
mode
Automatic In normal operation, you operate the sequences in the Automatic
operating mode. Special features of this operating mode:
- The sequence can be started (automatically).
- The transitions run automatically.

V8.20, R07 16
Fundamentals
Sequences: Background information
Manual For interventions in the pre-specified process definition (malfunction,

test runs), you can switch the sequences into the manual operating
mode.
The specific system behavior of the Manual operating mode depends
on the project-specific implementation.
The following properties frequently apply to this operating mode: You
must perform all activations and transitions of the plant manually
using the operator dialog of the objects.
Observe the special safety notes for this operating mode in
chapter 2.3.1, "Manual operating mode"
2.5 Sequences: Background information

The status information for a sequence plays a central role for you as operator.
Firstly, it is a fixed part of the visualization controls and of the operator dialog.
Secondly, the status of a sequence determines which actions you can perform
for a sequence.
This section provides an overview of the relationship between the sequence
status and the sequence controller.
Further information
Detailed information for the technical concept of the sequences is contained in
the following manual:
Plant Liqu iT Configuration Sequences, "Principles" chapter
2.5.1 Execution of a sequence
In the simplest case, a sequence runs using the following scheme:
Standard execution
The sequence is in idle (Idle status).
You open the operator dialog of the sequence and select a recipe.
You start the sequence using the Start button.
The sequence is in the Running status and processes the individual steps
specified by the recipe.
Note: Sequences can also be started automatically by programming the
PLC.
When the last step has been performed, the sequence switches to the
completed status.
You can restart the sequence.

V8.20, R07 17
Fundamentals
Diagram
Figure 5
Running status
If a sequence is in the Running status, you can intervene in the execution
process in the following manner:
You can stop or pause the sequence. From the resulting Held or Paused
status, you can directly set the sequence back into the Running status.
You can set the sequence into the Aborted or Completed status.
If you now want to start the sequence, you must first reset it.
