stepping

Short summary​

Provides access to the stepping configuration for the cycle manager sequence.

Purpose and usage​

This property returns the stepping configuration interface that allows setting stepping-related parameters for the entire sequence. It provides a fluent interface for configuring step-by-step execution mode, typically used for debugging and commissioning.

The stepping configuration controls:

  • Whether stepping mode is enabled
  • Auto-step delays
  • Step trigger conditions
  • Single-step behavior

typical usage patterns​

  1. Debug mode: Enable step-by-step execution
  2. Commissioning: Test sequences one step at a time
  3. Auto-stepping: Configure automatic step advancement
  4. Manual control: Require operator confirmation per step

When to use​

  • During commissioning and debugging
  • For training operators on sequence flow
  • When testing new sequences step-by-step
  • For troubleshooting sequence issues

Example​

// Enable manual stepping mode
cycleManager.configuration.configuration.sequence
    .stepping
    .enabled(TRUE)
    .autoStep(FALSE);

// Enable auto-stepping with delay
cycleManager.configuration.configuration.sequence
    .stepping
    .enabled(TRUE)
    .autoStep(TRUE)
    .autoStepDelay(T#2S);

// Disable stepping for production
cycleManager.configuration.configuration.sequence
    .stepping
    .enabled(FALSE);

// Conditional stepping based on mode
IF commissioningMode THEN
    cycleManager.configuration.configuration.sequence
        .stepping.enabled(TRUE);
END_IF;
