Steps

Steps are either active or inactive and can be linked by actions. The actions of active steps are executed. The sequence of a GRAFCET is described by the transitions from a previous to a subsequent step. Steps and transitions have to alternate in the plan.

The creation and simulation of GRAFCETs in FluidSIM is illustrated in the following using simple examples.

            Drag a step into a newly created circuit diagram.

 

Each step has to be assigned a name. If a step is to be active at the start of the sequence control, it is marked as the initial step.

            Open the step's dialogue box by double-clicking on it or via the menu (Edit- Properties...), enter “1” as the name and select the type “initial step”.

 

            Start simulation with  or via the menu (Execute- Start).

 

Active steps are marked with a point. Additionally, active steps are framed in green.
