Process steps

Define process steps including process contacts
In a process step, requirements for creating the program with the program editor are defined.
A certain process step is assigned to each program section. In this way, it is guaranteed that in
the program section, only admissible setpoint values are used and the section time stays within
the pre-assigned limits. Furthermore, process contacts are available in process step 16 through
which step-specific digital signals are activated.
CPU -> Setup only -> Process steps:
In this example, three fictitious process steps have been defined (process step 1 to process
step 3). In a real application, names should be selected to identify the purpose of the process
step (example from the meat industry: smoking, showering, reddening).
The "min. section time" and "max. section time" parameters determine the limits for the section
time of the program section. Under "enabled setpoints", setpoint values are selected that are
available in the program sections. Under "assigned generators" the program generators are se-
lected through which the program can be run. In the "process contacts" column, active contacts
are listed.
