6.15 PCS 7 SFC MultiChart Control
PCS 7 SFC MultiChart Control     
SFC MultiChart Control is used to operate and monitor several SFCs.
As it cannot be visualized in its configured length, the Control is provided with a scroll bar. The 
#, SFC, and group display columns are always visible, regardless of the scroll bar position.
The following table describes the columns of the SFC multichart control. 
Note
You can only start an SFC instance with control strategies or setpoints in the "Prepared Values" 
view of the faceplate, because a control strategy and setpoints must be set prior to starting.
