Description

Function description

This procedure is to set a step in a sequence.

NOTE: The procedure can only be used in the operation mode "Multi-Token".

This procedure sets the specified step, in addition to the already active step(s). Already active steps are not affected by this procedure.

Since the step stays set as long as this procedure (SETSTEP) is running (the procedure is run cyclically), you should take one of the following measures to prevent a permanent setting of the step:

Conditional call of the procedure SETSTEP via the input EN.
Conditional call of the procedure SETSTEP via e.g. IF statement in the programming language ST.
Use edge recognition (R_TRIG) at the input.

WARNING

UNEXPECTED SYSTEM BEHAVIOR

Do not useSETSTEP to find error on controllers of machine tools, process or material management system if they are running.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

WARNING

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

Avoid using SFCCNTRL command with CLEARCHART, FREEZCHART, INITCHART, SETSTEP and RESETSTEP commands altogether.
Carefully check the interactions between these function blocks and analyze the resulting impact on SFC.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

EN and ENO can be configured as additional parameters.

Parameter description

Description of the input parameter:

Parameter	Data type	Meaning
`StepName`	`SFCSTEP_STATE`	Assignment of the step to be set via the name of the step. (If an SFC step is created then it is automatically assigned with a variable of data type `SFCSTEP_STATE`. The variable that is created always has the name of the respective SFC step.)

Parameter

Data type

Meaning

StepName

SFCSTEP_STATE

Assignment of the step to be set via the name of the step.

(If an SFC step is created then it is automatically assigned with a variable of data type SFCSTEP_STATE. The variable that is created always has the name of the respective SFC step.)
