S88 - An Equipment Module and Equipment Phase using Set States via an Equipment State Matrix
This Flash movie shows an S88 phase, on the left ,setting the equipment
module, on the right, to states via Set State steps. It gets the setting for the
Control Modules in the Equipment module via an Equipment State matrix.
This is a very efficient way to define the settings for equipment that has many
states
It shows how ControlDraw can simulate the phase and the equipment module
at the same time. You can see this running in the ControlDraw Dynamics sample model
by >Window >Saved Views> Load Saved View> Run Chromatography.
You need version 3.4.1099 of ControlDraw and Version 641 of the model or
greater.
It
would be good to have a PCS you could program as easily as you can build the
models, but at least, the ControlDraw
standard library provides help on how to program control like this in PLC's and
DCS's
