• Provides data necessary for architecture flexibility, true distribution of control, and scalability.
sequence reporting
SequenceManager software provides batch sequencing in the Logix
family of controllers by adding powerful new capability closer to the
process and opening new possibilities for skids, off network systems, and
single unit control. SequenceManager allows you to configure operations
in Studio 5000 Logix Designer®, run sequence in FactoryTalk® View SE,
and to capture and display batch results.
SequenceManager directs PhaseManager™ programs inside a Logix-based

controller in an ordered sequence to implement process-oriented tasks
for single unit or multiple independent unit operations. Using industry
standard ISA-88 methodology, SequenceManager enables powerful and
flexible sequencing capabilities that allow for the optimal control
of sequential processes.
With SequenceManager, you can deliver fast and reliable sequence

execution while reducing infrastructure costs for standalone units and
complete skid-based system functionality.

Allowing for an Intuitive Batch Application
Responsive batch interactions between the controller and equipment, along with intuitive operator interfaces,
provide the core of a truly distributed batching strategy that drives ISA-88 procedural models.
Editor and Viewer

As a brand new program type in Studio 5000 Logix
Designer®, SequenceManager™ software gives the user
the power and flexibility necessary to create dynamic
recipes to maximize the effectiveness of the process
control system.
Without limitations on steps and parameters, and the

ability to run parallel phases, to branch, and to loop back
and rerun steps, SequenceManager removes the barriers
in achieving effective batch within the controller.
Sequence Execution
Procedural sequences are executed through native
functions in the controller. With an integrated ISA-88 state
model, the control and states of phases can be assured.
Standard batch functionality, such as manual control

and active step changes, are included to give the
operational flexibility that is needed to respond to
abnormal process conditions.
Operator Viewer
FactoryTalk® View SE and ActiveX controls monitor and
interact with a running procedural sequence through
the HMI. Advance ActiveX controls provide an intuitive
interface for controlling sequences and changing
parameters from the operational environment. Improved
capabilities allow the user to perform manual step
changes and acquire control easily.
Reporting and Analytics

SequenceManager data generates events that are used to
produce batch reports and procedural analysis. A separate
event client transfers the event data from the Logix
controller to a historical database. SequenceManager uses
the same data structure and reports as FactoryTalk Batch,
which provides a consistent and intuitive batch reporting
tool among Rockwell Automation® Batch Solutions.
