"Condition" tab (transition properties)

How do I configure transition conditions?
You can configure the conditions for a transition in this tab. The table is empty when the tab
opens for the first time. You can insert new condition lines with the "New" button. Selecting a
condition line and pressing the "Change" button opens the dialog for configuration of the
conditions. The dialog guides the user in entering the operands and the interconnection
operation.
Result: The "Condition" tab is updated accordingly upon closing all the dialogs. A line always
contains the information for exactly one condition. You can enter additional conditions one
after the other using the "New" button. You can change an existing "Condition" using the
"Change" button or by double-clicking on the condition line. A direct entry in the "Condition"
tab is not possible.
You can use logic operators to combine configured conditions. You set the logic operators by
right-clicking on the operator button via the shortcut menu.
The condition can be deleted by pressing the "Delete" button.
The configured conditions are shown in the control recipe in the tooltip of the transition.
List
● Effective immediately: The process value for operand 1 can be changed during batch
control. If the transition is currently in progress then the changed parameter value should
become effective immediately. This option can also be set for parameter references.
● Variable: The name of the variable configured during engineering is entered. This is the
variable used as the 1st operand used for the condition. The first operand can be a
parameter from the next highest recipe level, a process variable (process value from the
automation process) or an RPE status (status of the recipe procedure element).
● Act. value: The actual value of the 1st operand displayed. If no actual value is available, a
symbol is displayed. Hover the mouse pointer over the symbol to view a corresponding
tooltip. This enables you to see at a glance the difference between an empty field (e.g. an
empty character string) and a missing process value (e.g. a unit on which the recipe step
is to be processed has not yet been assigned).
