Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 - Setting the Operating State

6.21 Setting the Operating State
Setting the Operating State
The commands available in the control and display section (or in the PCS
7 SFC multichart control) let you set or modify the SFC operating state.
Button Command Meaning
Start / Resume With this command, you start the processing by changing to "Starting" state
or you resume the processing by changing to "Resuming" or "Resuming (er‐
ror)" state.
Note: The "Resume" function associated with the "Start / Resume" button is
only available in the multichart control. You use the "Resume" button in all
other displays.
In the detail window or on the "Actual Values" page of the faceplate for SFC
instances, the "Start" button is only enabled if neither the control strategy nor
the setpoints are configured. If they are configured, you start on the "Prepared
Values" page of the faceplate because you have to assign a control strategy
and the setpoints beforehand.
If a step is marked as target step , the target step of the active sequencer is
activated directly.
Abort With this command, you cancel processing by changing to the "Aborting"
state.
Hold With this command, you stop processing by changing to the "Holding"
state.
Restart With this command, you restart processing by changing to the "Starting"
state.
The following commands are also in the operation and display part of the detail window and the faceplates:
Resume With this command, you resume processing by changing to the "Resuming"
or "Resuming (error)" state.
Exit With this command, you complete processing by changing to the
"Completing" state.
Stop With this command, you stop processing by changing to the "Stopping"
state.
Reset With this command, you change to the
"Idle" state.
