Template:Making multi-step configuration changes using trigger subroutines
Jump to navigation

Where multiple steps are required to re-configure a unit operation, the steps may need to be broken up between the different trigger subroutines so that they are executed in series.
Two examples are shown here:
- In this example, a Filter Press model is required to be turned on, the method changed and a parameter set. Since the parameter may not be available until the method selection is made, these will be performed in different subroutines.
- In this example, the PID controller block can be switched on / off based on a trigger variable (true/false).
| Example1 | Example2 |
|---|---|
Sub InitialisePreStart()
;--- Logic executed very early before first iteration
; Turn on filter press FP_001
["FP_001.On"] = 1
EndSub
Sub PreStart()
;--- Logic executed early before first iteration
; Set method in filter press FP_001 to FiltrateConcAt25C
["FP_001.Method"] = 1
EndSub
Sub InitialiseSolution()
;--- Logic executed during initialisation before first iteration
; Set required filtrate solid concentration in filter press FP_001
["FP_001.FiltrateSolidConc25Reqd (g/L)"] = 2
EndSub

Sub PreStart()
;--- Logic executed early before first iteration
; example for switching PID control block on/off based on trigger:
if UsePID_Control
["Acid_Control.Cfg.[2].On"] = 0
Else
["Acid_Control.Cfg.[2].On"] = 1
Endif
EndSub
