 Differentiation from Other Tools

 What applications are sequential control systems suitable for?

 Sequential processes: Tasks controlled by signals or timers
 Time-critical processes that are susceptible to faults
 Methodical procedure improves transparency
 Program is easier to understand
 Maintenance, servicing, diagnostics
Advantage: Fast error removal

 Application examples
 Car wash
 Assembly line
 Assembly conveyor
 Machine tools
 Transfer line
 Presses
 Process engineering
 Packaging technology
 Process control and monitoring

 Structural Elements of a Sequencer: Steps
Basic elements of a sequencer to comply with IEC 1131-3

Step : Graphic representation with directed links

* * * " * * * " = Step name

Initial step: Graphic representation with directed links

* * * " * * * " = Initial step name

"a": Identifier character (operation e.g. S )

"b": Action name (e.g. MOTOR 1)
Action block with actions "c": Boolean "display" variable
"d": Action in: ( e.g. declaration + STL code)

"a" "b" "c" Actions are controlled according to specific rules that are
* * * described in detail in the IEC1131-3 standard.
In general, they are:
"d" 1. Action block for activation
2. Enable / interlock of individual actions
3. Step switching

 Structural Elements of a Sequencer: Transition
Basic elements of a sequencer to comply with IEC 1131-3

Extract from IEC 1131-3:

Transitions
A transition represents the condition whereby control passes from one
* * * or more steps preceding the transition to one or more successor steps
along the corresponding directed link. The transition shall be
represented by a horizontal line across the vertical directed link.
%IX2.4 %IX2.3 The direction of evolution following the directed links shall be from the
bottom of the predecessor step(s) to the top of the successor step(s).
X Each transition shall have an associated transition condition which is
the result of the evaluation of a single Boolean expression.

Angaben %IX2.4 und %IX2.5 stehen für entsprechende absolute oder

symbolische Operanden
* * * Verbindung mit der Kettenstruktur : Ein Netzwerk in der Sprache KOP

Additional graphical elements, such as branches (alternative, simultaneous), jumps and loops are described in
subsequent chapters of this manual.

 Characteristics of S7-GRAPH
 Simple, user-friendly description of
sequential processes
 Programming sequencers to DIN EN 6 1131
(corresponds to IEC 1131-3)
 Can be used for S7-300 (CPU314 and higher)
and S7-400
 Simple configuration (full graphics, windows
technology, zoom functionality)
 Processing speed independent of the
sequencer length
 Easy interfacing with process visualization
and diagnostics
--> "ProAgent for OP" (OP25...OP37)
--> "ProAgent for WinCC" (OP47, FI25 or
PCs/PGs)
--> "ProDiag" (Transline 2000)
 Process synchronization can be activated in
S7-GRAPH
