  • Page 9: Sfc Visualization (Sfv)

    SFC Visualization (SFV) Introduction You can use the "SFC Visualization" software package to configure SFC visualization in WinCC and to perform operator control and monitoring of SFC charts and SFC instances in the WinCC runtime system. What is SFC? SFC (Sequential Function Chart) is a sequential control system that is used for control flow- oriented process control.
  • Page 10 SFC Visualization (SFV) Note ● Configuration is not possible during runtime operation. ● You can transfer SFCs to the runtime system even while the OS is running. This may cause a temporary inconsistency in the displays, since the SFCs must first be downloaded to the automation system before being loaded on the OS.
