Signal Controllers
Double-click a stage or click Remove stage in the context menu to remove
the selected stage from the sequence.
CLEAR SEQUENCE in the context menu will delete the stage sequence
completely.
The context menu command EXPORT… allows for stage sequence export as
an image file. Set the format options for the image file via menu EDIT -
OPTIONS in the [EXPORT] tab, cf. section 6.7.4.10.
To create a signal program with fixed cycle times from the stage sequences,
the following options are provided:
● Cycle time tu: Enter the duration in seconds.
● CREATE STAGE BASED SIGNAL PROGRAM: Click this button to calculate a
stage-based signal program for a predefined cycle time. The Signal
programs editing view appears and allows for further signal program
editing, cf. section 6.7.4.6.
● CREATE SIGNAL GROUP BASED SIGNAL PROGRAM: Click this button to
calculate a signal group-based signal program for a predefined cycle
time. The Signal programs editing view appears and allows for further
signal program editing, cf. section 6.7.4.6.
You may manually define the interstages to be used for signal program
calculation. Right-click the dark-gray space between the two desired stages
and click INTERSTAGES - CREATE… in the context menu or select an existing
interstage.
These steps are performed if the interstages were not manually selected:
For each stage changeover in the sequence of stages it is checked whether
there is already an appropriate interstage. If so, the first matching interstage
is used for the calculation, otherwise a new interstage will be created. The
new interstage will be stored for stage-based signal programs, whereas it will
be deleted after signal program calculation in case of signal group-based
signal programs.
