The stepwise processing of industrial processes: This is the potential that Plant
Liqu iT provides. The basis here are the so-called sequences with which you
can realize technological process sequences.
A sequence is a series of steps, each of which contains the activations and
transition conditions.
Recipes
Recipes specify which process steps are used, the order of the steps, and their
parameters and setpoints. Step parameters and step-independent parameters
of the production plant are available as process parameters. Step parameters
and recipes together specify the technological execution.
Sequences
The SEQ class is used for the step execution control and so forms the funda-
mental component for the image of an industrial process. An execution logic in
the simplest case:
Recipes
Procedures Technological execution,
Unit procedures Process setpoints
Step 01 Step -> Activities / activations
Transitions
Transitions
Transitions
...
Transitions
Transitions determine the conditions with which an execution changes from one
step to the next step (transition conditions).

Process screens in the Operation Manager
1.1 Process screens in the Operation Manager

The process screens with which you control a plant are contained in the Opera-
tion Manager.
If your project uses sequences for the process automation, the process screens
contain not only the representation of the plant, but also sequence-specific dis-
plays. You can use these control elements to operate and monitor the se-
quences.

Multi-level operating concept
1.2 Multi-level operating concept

As for the aggregates (e.g. motors or valves), the process screen also provides
a multi-level operating concept for the sequences. It consists of the following
components:
Representation/monitoring level:
The process screen shows the sequences in various levels of detail. There
are several ways of representing sequences in the process picture.
Operation level:
An operator dialog exists also for sequences. On the one hand, it shows
you all the detailed information about the sequence. On the other hand, you
can use the operator dialog to control the sequences.
Sequence overview:
The sequence overview provides you with a representation type with which
you can monitor and control several sequences together.
1.2.1 Process screen: Representation of the sequence using control

elements
You can use the control elements in the process screen for two purposes:
To provide basic information about the status of a sequence. This informa-
tion is always available directly at a glance in the process screen.
To open the operator dialog of the sequence.

Use of the standard view

The standard view is used for fast operation and monitoring of the sequence:
You can view the most important information about the sequence status.
You can select what you normally need to start a sequence (e.g. selection
of the required operation).
You find the buttons to control a sequence.

Safety information
1.3 Safety information

Some of the operating steps described in this manual can place the plant in a
critical state. This can cause material damage or even injury to persons.
The following notes show you
For which operating steps you must proceed with utmost caution.
How you can prevent critical plant states
Further information: 1.3.1 Manual operating mode [} P. 11]
1.3.1 Manual operating mode
Background
Method of operation
Depending on the configuration, the manual operating mode can bring the plant
into a critical state.
Example
The Manual operating mode should typically be configured so that the auto-
matic control of the sequence is interrupted immediately.
This means:
The attained control state of the aggregate is retained (example: a currently
opened valve remains open; currently running heating operations continue).
If the operator does not manually continue to control the plant, damage can
occur to the plant, e.g. because of over-heating.
Invocation
You can activate the Manual operating mode in the following operating ele-
ments:
Operator dialog for the sequence:
Further information: 3.2.2 Buttons [} P. 29]
Sequence overview:
Further information: 8 Sequence overview [} P. 82]
Danger
Missing or incorrect manual control can cause injury to persons and

material damage.
The plant can then assume a critical state:
If you do not continue to control the process manually after switching the
operating mode.
If you perform inappropriate control actions for the process.
Safety recommendations
Use the Manual operating mode only:

11 / 90
Fundamentals
Safety information
When you have been instructed with which consequences the operating
mode has for your plant and which special dangers result.
When you have received the explicit authorization to control the sequences
in the manual operating mode.
Configuring engineers
Ensure that the passive safety mechanisms in the plant control prevent dan-
gers in the Manual operating mode (e.g. locks).
Administer the user groups so that the manual operating mode is disabled
for unauthorized operators.

V9.60 Operation
12 / 90
Fundamentals
Safety information
1.3.2 Simulation operating mode
Background
Method of operation
The Simulation operating mode allows you to configure a plant. In the simula-
tion mode, you can execute a sequence without the active safety mechanisms
in normal operation.
The following mechanisms are deactivated:
The UserHold signal is bypassed.
The messages configured as an alarm.
Note: System alarms will still be displayed.
Invocation
You can call the Simulation control mode in the standard operator dialog.
Danger
Missing safety mechanisms can cause injury to persons and material

damage.
In particular, the bypassing of the UserHold signal can cause the plant to be
brought into a critical state.
Use this function only
When you have received the explicit authorization for this type of sequence
control.
during the configuring phase (when the process control engineering is not
yet connected to the plant).
During the commissioning, it can be necessary to use the Simulation oper-
ating mode even when a plant is already connected. This, however, can
only be done by configuring engineers who intimately know the plant
process.
Administer the user groups so that the simulation control mode is disabled
for non-authorized operators.

1.3.3 Manual selection of the next process step
Background
Method of operation
In the operator dialog, you have the possibility to manually select the process
operations permitted for a sequence.
Further information: 7.1 Select procedure/recipe, order and batch number
[} P. 73]
Danger
Use in the normal plant operation can cause injury to persons and
material damage
With this function it is possible to bypass the normal execution of a sequence.
This means you can also produce states that in normal plant operation can
cause damage to the plant or even injury to persons.
Use this function only
When you have received the explicit authorization for this type of sequence
control.
During the configuring phase (when the process control engineering is not
yet connected to the plant).
In emergencies.
During normal plant operation, the use of this function for test purposes is con-
ceivable. This requires, however, intimate knowledge of the plant process.
Administer the user groups so that this function is disabled for non-autho-
rized operators.

Fundamentals
Availability of functions
1.4 Availability of functions

The control and intervention possibilities available for a sequence depend on
the following prerequisites:
Access rights
If the rights management for Plant iT is used to control your plant, the user
group to which you belong determines which actions you can perform in con-
junction with a sequence.
Normally, not only configuring engineers, but also technical specialists, such as
shift managers and plant operators, have full access rights. Their access rights
can be administered in dedicated user groups.
Sequence status
In addition to the access rights, execution-related conditions determine which
actions in conjunction with a sequence are currently possible. These include:
The status of the sequence.
Example: You can only start a sequence when it is in the Idle or Completed
status. If this is not the case, the Start button in the operator dialog will not
be available.
Further information about the sequence status: 1.5 Sequences: Background
information [} P. 16]
Releasing the sequence.
Example: You want to start a sequence for which a start condition has been
configured, e.g. the preselection of a recipe. You cannot start the sequence
unless you have selected a recipe. Also in this case, a symbol indicates the
missing enable.
Operating mode
You can operate sequences in two operating modes:
Operating Description
mode
Automatic In normal operation, you operate the sequences in the Automatic op-
erating mode. Special features of this operating mode:
͟
The sequence can be started (automatically).
͟
The transitions run automatically.
Manual For interventions in the pre-specified process definition (malfunction,
test runs), you can switch the sequences into the Manual operating
mode.
The specific system behavior of the Manual operating mode depends
on the project-specific implementation.
The following properties frequently apply to this operating mode: You
must perform all activations and transitions of the plant manually us-
ing the operator dialog of the objects.
Observe the special safety notes for this operating mode in 1.3.1

1.5 Sequences: Background information

The status information for a sequence plays a central role for you as operator.
Firstly, it is a fixed part of the visualization and of the operator dialog. Secondly,
the status of a sequence determines which actions you can perform for a se-
quence.
This section provides an overview of the relationship between the sequence
status and the sequence controller.

1.5.1 Execution of a sequence

In the simplest case, a sequence runs based on the following scheme:
Standard execution
The sequence is in idle (Idle status).
You open the operator dialog of the sequence and select a recipe.
You start the sequence using the Start button.
The sequence is in the Running status and processes the individual steps
specified by the recipe.
Note: Sequences can also be started automatically by programming the
PLC.
When the last step has been performed, the sequence switches to the com-
pleted status.
You can restart the sequence.

be used, for example, to control complete
process units in Manual, while other process
units continue to run in the Automatic operating
mode.
Object control matrix

The object control matrix controls and monitors
objects (valves, gates, motors, etc.). Their own
functionality is represented with automation
classes. An OCM defines which sensors and
actuators should be triggered for a specific ac-
tivity or monitored for specific states. The
C21 OCM (Object Control Matrix) class is used
for this purpose.
Order
An order in process technology is used to pro-
duce a defined quantity of a product.
Process engineering
Process engineering is the engineering disci-
pline concerned with the planning and the oper-
ation of material-converting production plants.
Process unit
A process unit is a technical equipment of a
process engineering plant (e.g. machine, appa-
ratus, device). Process units are instances of a
process unit class. They are always assigned to
a process cell. Passive apparatus (e.g. boiler)
