Ramp Heat Phase Logic

You must develop a phase block for each reactor to perform the heat function. When instructed to run, the heat phase block heats the contents of the reactor to a specified temperature and at the specified rate. The target temperature and rate are parameters used to configure the phase block. The parameters, which are both designated as process variables, are assigned a value in the recipe. The value becomes part of the recipe formula.

The Heat phase blocks must be designed to be completely independent of each other.

Reactor A and Reactor B are identical to each other in every way, except that Reactor B utilizes a special pressure probe, which Reactor A does not have.

To keep our example simple, only one input and one output are shown for each phase. In actuality, there can be several inputs and outputs, as well as many other internal data points that can be common to each phase.
