Creating phase classes and parameters for blender phases

The following table contains information for the phase classes and batch input/report parameters for the BlenderPhases category. We will create the first two phase classes, AGITATE and CHG_COLOR. The other two phase classes, CHG_BASE and DRAIN, were imported as part of the Startup.fhx file. 

Phase class Parameter name Type Category Default value Range (low-high) English units
AGITATE AGITATE_TIME Integer Input 30 0-300 sec
  ACTUAL_TIME Integer Report     sec
CHG_COLOR CHARGE_AMT Real Input 15 0-100 gal
  ACTUAL_CHARGE Real Report     gal
CHG_BASE CHARGE_AMT Real Input 150 0-1000 gal
  ACTUAL_CHARGE Real Report     gal
DRAIN DRAIN_LEVEL Real Input  5 0-1000 gal
  ACTUAL_LEVEL Real Report     gal

Batch input parameters are denoted by a green parameter icon in the DeltaV Explorer, whereas batch report parameters have a yellow parameter icon.
