Phase configuration dialog

The Phase Configuration dialog provides testing of your recipe by simulating controller and phase logic interaction for the phases, phase states and phase requests. You enter the request codes and verify how the phase logic handles the request.

Select State - defines the state of the selected phase. The following active states are available: Running, Aborting, Restarting, Holding, and Stopping.

Dwell Time: - defines the number of seconds the phase remains in its defined state. The default is 30 seconds for the Running state and 5 seconds for all others. Valid entries are integers.

The phase configuration request fields are as follows:

Line numbers - each line is numbered and is executed in that sequence. This allows you to enter up to 10 requests at one time for the selected phase and state.

@ Time - sends the request code to the Batch Executive at the specified elapsed time (in seconds). The time is measured from the start of the phase.

Note:

When you click the Update Phase button, the lines are reordered for the time sequence entered. That is, if you enter the following in the @ Time column: line 1 = 5 seconds; line 2 = 15 seconds; and, line 3 = 10 seconds, when you click the Update Phase button the lines will reorder to be line 1 = 5 seconds, line 2 = 10 seconds and line 3 = 15 seconds.

_RQ - the request code is entered here. The last request code issued should be a 2000. This resets the batch ID and unit number back to zero (0).

Q01 - the first request data value (arg1) is entered here.

Q02 - the second request data value (arg2) is entered here.

Q03 - the third request data (arg3) is entered here.

Q04 - the fourth request data (arg4) is entered here.

Q05 - the fifth request data (arg5) is entered here.

Continuous Phase - select this option if this phase runs as a continuous phase.
