A method and apparatus for use with a system including a processor that controls a resource configuration to perform a sequence including a plurality of cells, the method for programming the processor to help a system operator restart the sequence after the sequence is halted, the method comprising the steps of, during a commissioning procedure, the method including the steps of providing a sequence including at least one conditional section including at least one decision cell that determines which of at least two different subsets of conditional cells (cell subsets) to perform during the at least one conditional section, beginning with the first sequence cell, performing each cell, after each cell is performed, identifying resource operating characteristics (ROCs), correlating the identified ROCs with a cell identifier and storing the identified ROCs as required ROCs along with the cell identifier for subsequent use during a restart procedure.
A method for use with a system including a processor that controls a resource configuration to perform a sequence including a plurality of cells, the method for programming the processor to help a system operator restart the sequence after the sequence is halted, the method comprising the steps of, during a commissioning procedure:
A method for use with a processor that controls a resource configuration to execute a sequence that includes a plurality of cells, the method for generating a database including resource operating characteristics (ROCs) associated with each of the cells that are required prior to the process being restarted at the associated cells, the method comprising the steps of, during a commissioning procedure:
A method for use with a processor that controls a resource configuration to perform a sequence that includes a plurality of cells where there are cell specific resource operating characteristics (ROCs) that are required prior to associated cells being performed, the method for guiding a configuration operator to place the resources in a condition suitable for restarting the sequence after the sequence is stopped, the method comprising the steps of, when the sequence stops during a first cell:
A method for use with a processor that controls a resource configuration to perform a sequence where the sequence includes a plurality of cells where cell specific resource operating characteristics (ROCs) are required prior to associated cells being performed, the method comprising the steps of:
A method for use with a processor that controls a resource configuration to perform a sequence that includes a plurality of cells where there are cell specific resource operating characteristics (ROCs) that are required prior to associated cells being performed, the method for guiding a configuration operator to place the resources in a condition suitable for restarting the sequence after the sequence is stopped, the method comprising the steps of, when the sequence stops at a first cell or first set of cells:
A method for use with a processor that controls a resource configuration to perform a sequence that includes a plurality of cells where there are cell specific resource operating characteristics (ROCs) that are required prior to associated cells being performed, the method for guiding a configuration operator to place the resources in a condition suitable for restarting the sequence after the sequence is stopped, the method comprising the steps of, when the sequence halts:
