Practical monitoring and control for the real world

Sequence Manager

Introduction

Important: This software is in beta test!

This capability is in the development and test phase. It will only be available if manually instaled by Vermont Energy Control Systems. As beta software, it should be carefully monitored at all times, and any unexpected behavior or problems should be reported immediately. Do not trust this capability to run critical systems without supervision.

This document covers the Vesta Sequence Manager, also known as the Recipe Engine. The Sequence Manager allows the specification of a sequence of steps, with specific actions to be taken at each step and criteria for moving from step to step.

The Sequence Manager typically works in conjunction with the Rule Engine, and interacts with data elements. This document assumes familiarity with Rule Programming and Terminology.

For your convenience, there is a table of contents at the top of each page in this manual as well as the option to view the entire manual as a single page (the 'All Pages' link at the end of the table of contents). The topics covered are as follows:

  • Editing Modifying, adding, and deleting recipe segments.
  • Example Using the Sequence Manager to control a variable speed pump.
