SFC programming in B&R AS

Ask Questions
1

Hello all.
I like to do programs with SFC, but in B&R it is very difficult.
Do anyone do programming in SFC?
I have some trouble:

  1. When I do search for the variable in SFC logic AS (4.12.5) goes to crash each time.
  2. When I try to follow diagram online and if I go into sub branch and return back all is frozen. I have to go offline- online again to see live information.
  3. A lot of times I can’t delete or move steps together with transition.
  4. and a lot of small things which are making work with SFC uncomfortable.

So , do you have some same experience?

I’m happy that you have observed improvement, so you are able to monitor SFC logic. If the problem is not 100% fixed, it might be worth contacting your local B&R office support.
