Use the following instructions to examine the batch.
To examine the batch:
1. Select the Procedure as SFC button to examine the batch as it is
running. The Procedure as SFC view displays the sequential function
charts (SFCs) of the currently selected batch, where you can watch the
batch execute its steps and transitions. An operator can command a
batch using the command buttons.
Tip: You need to move the horizontal and vertical split bars separating the four sections to
view the contents as shown in the example.
The Procedure as SFC window consists of four sections:
• The Procedural Hierarchy displays the details of the entire batch.
Dragging the split bar to the right reveals more of the batch details,
such as State, Mode, Unit, and Key Parameters.
• The Sequential Function Chart (SFC) displays for the step that is
selected in the Procedural Hierarchy. You can view a different level
of the SFC by double-clicking a step.
There are three sizing buttons that you can use to change the size of
the SFC.

• The Recipe Table displays the components of the procedural
elements in the currently selected batch. You also can access the
recipe table by clicking the Procedure as Table button.
