Sequential function chart used in the tutorials

After you create the control modules, you will create a module (SFC-START) that uses a Sequential Function Chart algorithm to automate emptying of the tank. The steps in the sequence are listed below.

  1. Set the flow loop controlling the outlet flow valve (FIC-101) to automatic.

  2. Specify a desired setpoint for the flow loop.

  3. Wait for the regulatory valve to open, then open the block valve (XV-101).

  4. Start the outpump motor (MTR-101).

  5. Confirm the motor start.
