Introduction
You must make interconnections on the blocks in the CFC chart for the release request.
We recommend that the configuration steps be taken into consideration when the typicals are
created.
Requirement
● The CFC typicals have been created.
● The PCS 7 Advanced Process Library V8.2 or higher is used.
Procedure
1. Open the CFC typical.
2. Interconnect the output parameter MS_Req of the channel block with a free input parameter
ExtMsg of the technological block.
3. Change the message class of the utilized external message on the technological block to
the message class not requiring acknowledgment "Request for operator input - General".
4. Adapt the event text as desired.
You can connect the release request signals of multiple channel blocks to the technological
block with an OR operation.
