Inserting a Sequence
WARNING
USE OF THE ONLINE EDITING FEATURE CAN CAUSE THE CONTROLLED
PROCESS OR MACHINE TO SUDDENLY CHANGE ITS OPERATION. IT IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER TO DETERMINE THE POTENTIAL HAZARDS
INVOLVED. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN
BODILY INJURY.
Make certain you have read and understood the restrictions in
18.4.2.1 Ć 18.4.2.5 before proceeding. Recall that when you are
inserting a sequence while in the PC Monitor, the procedure will be
essentially the same as it is when you are creating the task in the
offline PC Editor described in 4.22.2 Ć 4.22.5, with the exceptions
described in 18.4.1.
To insert a sequence, follow the directions below.
1. Monitor the sequence that will precede where you want the new
sequence to be inserted. For example, if you want to insert a
sequence between existing sequences 20 and 30, you begin by
monitoring sequence 20. The insertion will always occur
immediately following the sequence being monitored. To insert a
new sequence before the first sequence in the task, see 18.4.2.
2. Once you are monitoring the correct sequence, enter F3 followed
by the Ins" key. The system will test whether there is a sequence
number that will fit between the monitored sequence and the one
following it. For example, if the line number of the sequence
being monitored is a multiple of 10, the system will test whether
that line plus 10 is available. In the above example, where there is
already a sequence 30, the system would then test if the
monitored sequence line number plus one is available. If a
sequence 21 already existed, you would be prompted to
resequence the task. See 18.4.9 below for more information
about resequencing.
3. After a valid sequence number is assigned for the sequence to
be added, the sequence being monitored is cleared from the
screen to allow you to enter the new sequence. For help in
inserting the sequence, type F1.
4. After you have finished entering the new sequence, type F3 E to
exit the editor and install the new sequence. If you change your
mind and no longer want to insert the sequence, enter F3 Q. If
you type F3 by mistake and you want to go back and edit the
sequence further, type ESC.
