7.1 Allocation request and allocation status
Introduction
With equipment phases, the lower-level equipment modules are not permanently assigned, 
but instead requested at runtime, allocated and then released again. 
The allocation characteristics are configured using an "allocation request" in the step of the 
SFC.
The current status of allocation at runtime is shown with the "Allocation status". 
You can find additional information about this in the documentation 
Process Control System 
PCS 7; CFC for SIMATIC S7 
in the section "Configuring the allocation of an equipment phase".
