3.4.5 Automating a Process
A process can be automated so that a complete process can be executed without
having to press START between all the layers. A process can be automated by any
of the following three methods.
1 Setting the logic statement:
IF PROCESS END ALL AND LAYER END ALL
THEN START
will cause a complete process to run by pressing START once. For a step by
step procedure to set up this statement, see
section 6.5 on page 6-15 .
2 Remote communication control. An external computer could be set up to
monitor the status of a process and issue START commands at desired times.
(See
Chapter 7 .)
3 Remote input line. A remote input line can be configured to issue a START
command based on some external event. (See
Chapter 6 .)
