Configuring the appearance of the PFC

You can configure both the color and the fill pattern of the steps in the PFC portion of the PFC screen. This configuration is done from the System Configuration and Defaults screen. You implement a strategy that defines every state in a unique color so that the states of each step in the PFC are easily evident to the operator.

The text in the State column in the Table View and in the Procedural Hierarchy is also color coded to match the color configured for the PFC steps. If, for example, you select a blue color to represent the Held state, the steps of the PFC currently in the Held state appear in blue, as does the word Held in the State column of the corresponding step in the Procedural Hierarchy and the Table View.
