Dear All, I have a bit of a problem with engineering my SFC's. Now we use the folowing procedure: We draw in Visio a overview of the SFC with steps and transitions, so we can discuss it with the customer with a good overview of the SFC. This overview can not be printed with SFC! You do not get a document with witch you can brainstorm. Then weprogram it in SFC. Then if the SFC is updated the Visio drawing is also updated, because our customer likes the Visio overview of the SFC and uses it for their documentation. We use PCS7 V6. Now I was thinking;In PCS7 V7 is this SFC engineering tool changed so wecan get a clear overview of our SFC or can we print it in this way? Does anyone have another idea? Please look at the attached visio drawing with an example of what I mean. Thanks in advance, Jaap AttachmentTO V1 4.zip (138 Downloads) |

Yes Jaapie, same problem. We had a real tough time closing a v6.1 project as customer insisted on documenting all SFCs and SFC types used in the project. The standard documentation that is printed by the system was tons of **** for him (and us as well).
Sadly v7.0 doesn't improve it. I don't know about v7.1 (and doubt that it has changed). If there was a wishlist for features wanted in PCS7, I would rate it as one of the most desired. (interestingly, copy pasting mulltiple lines in a step or transition is included inv7.1, another item that was high on my wishlist) People who have access to PCS7 roadmap can tell us if better documentation exists on it. And also my request to others for ideas to do efficientdocumentation of SFC. |
