Part 4

The document discusses sequential control functions including sequential control blocks, sequence table blocks, timer and soft-counter blocks, and types of contact output. Sequence table blocks can be used to describe sequential control programs in a decision table format. Timer blocks measure time in seconds or minutes. Soft-counter blocks count the number of times a condition is satisfied. Sequence control can be condition-based, monitoring process status and controlling according to predefined conditions, or programmed-based, controlling according to predefined phase programs.

to as sequential control blocks. The positioning of the sequential

Types of Sequential Control


Definition of sequential control:
Sequential control executes in sequence each control step following the
pre-defined conditions or orders.
The sequential control can be divided into following two types:

Condition control (Monitoring)


Monitors process status and controls according to the pre-defined conditions.

Programmed control (Phase steps)


Controls according to the pre-defined programs (phases).

TE33Q4T30-01E

Sequential Control Description


Sequence table block:
The conditions and operations are arranged in the decision table format and
specifies which operation is performed by the combination of conditions. This table
is suitable for describing the both types of sequence.

Logic chart block:


The logic chart block aligns each condition and operation, and the combination of
conditions is described with logic elements to specify the operation performed. This is
suitable for describing the condition control type such as an interlock sequence.

SFC (Sequential Function Chart ) block:


The SFC is a graphical programming language suitable for describing a process control
sequence. It is standardized by the international standard, IEC SC65A/WG6.
It is used for relatively large-scaled sequential controls and device controls. The SFC block defines
the flow of an entire sequence. Each step in the SFC is described with sequence tables or SEBOL
(Sequence and Batch Oriented Language).

TE33Q4T30-01E

YOKOGAWA

Types of Sequential Control Blocks


Sequence table block:
The sequence table block realizes a sequential control by operating other function
blocks and/or process I/O or software I/O.

Logic chart block:


The logic chart block realizes an interlock
sequence with the logic chart diagram using
logic elements.

SFC block:
The SFC block executes the sequential control
program described with SFC.

Sequence auxiliary blocks:


Switch instrument blocks:
Valve pattern monitors: (optional)

Execution and Output Timing


Execution timing
A sequence table block and a logic chart block have the
following four types of execution timing:
Periodic execution (T):
Repeatedly executed in a preset cycle.

One-shot execution (O):


Executed once when invoked by other function blocks.

Initial execution/Restart execution (I):


Executed when the FCS performs a cold or a restart.

Initial execution (B):


Executed when the FCS performs a restart.

Output timing
A sequence table block has two types of output timing:
Output only when conditions change (C)
Output each time conditions are satisfied (E)
TE33Q4T30-01E

11

YOKOGAWA

Output Timing
Output only when conditions change (C):
The action is executed only once when the condition is switched from false to
true. However, if the non-latched output is specified for the action signal, the
action changes when the condition is switched from true to false.

Output each time conditions are satisfied (E):


The action is executed each control period as long as the condition remains
true.
Output only when conditions change (C)

Output each time conditions are satisfied (E)

The latched and non-latched type output can also be applied for internal
switches, annunciator message outputs and so on.

Types of Contact Output


Non-latched (L) type output:
The non-latched type output turns ON when logical computation result
becomes true and turns OFF when becomes not true.

Flashing (F) type output:
The flashing type output starts flashing when ON operation is executed and
stops flashing when OFF operation is executed. In order to turn off the
current state, OFF operation as H type is required.

The flashing type output can not be applied for internal switches,
annunciator message outputs and so on.
