To open the Action Sequence Step Control dialog

  • On the Action Sequence Step Summary window, select the row header for any sequence step.

    One of the Action Sequence Step Control dialogs is displayed, depending on the type of point selected.

The table below lists the action items and fields on the Action Sequence Step Control dialog.

Fields

Description

Name

The configured name of the sequence step.

State

The current state of the step. For a list of possible states, see Opening the Action Sequence Control Dialog Box.

Type

The step type. For an explanation of possible step types, see Opening the Action Sequence Control Dialog Box.

Command

The command that will be executed on the point. This field is only visible for the following types of points:

  • status

  • multistate

  • pump

  • valve

  • plm

  • plmvoldevice

  • batchxfer

Value

The value that the point will be set to. This field is only visible if an analog point has been defined by the step.

Target State

The target state for the point to reach for the command to have been considered successful. This field is only visible if a status, multistate, pump or valve point is defined by the step.

Deadband

How close to the configured value an analog point must get for it to be considered successful. This field is only visible if an analog point is defined by the step.

Timeout

The maximum duration that a step can take to reach its desired state before being declared a failure. If the point is a Wait type point, this field indicates how long the step will wait before proceeding.

Retry Attempts

For a Set type step, if a failure occurs, the Action Sequence will re-execute the command the specified number of times before the step is considered a failure.

Step Inhibited

A checkbox indicating if the step is inhibited. This value can be toggled by clicking on it when the Action Sequence is not executing.

If the Administrator has inhibited the step, the Step Inhibited checkbox will be unavailable for edit.

Start at Step

Starts the action sequence at this step. There are a few things that will disable the Start at Step button:

  • The Start at Step button will be disabled if either you or the Administrator inhibits the sequence step.

  • The Start at Step button will be disabled if either you or the Administrator inhibits the parent step.

  • The Start at Step button will be disabled if the parent action sequence is already being executed.

  • The Start at Step button will be disabled if the system's dataset does not have control over the parent action sequence.

Dismiss

Close the Action Sequence Step Control Panel dialog.
