Glossary: Terms in the Selmo system
Selmo
Sequence Logic Modelling – model-based control standard
Plant
Overall system/machine with HWZs and central functions
HWZ
Hardware Zone – autonomous unit with operating modes and sequences
SEQ (Sequence)
Modeled sequence of a subprocess (e.g. clamping, pushing)
Zone
Link between model and real signal (Input/Output/In-Out/Mem)
Bit-Control
Matrix: States (rows) ↔ Zones (columns) ↔ Behavior (0, S, i)
S (Sequence Check)
Expected action or feedback in a state
i (Interlock)
Must-condition – on deviation → error + stop
0
No meaning in this state
CMZ
Constantly Monitoring Zone – state-independent safety monitoring
MXIC
Manual Cross Interlock – release condition for manual buttons
Parameter
Data values such as times, counters, positions – as IN / OUT / INOUT
Logic Layer
State model: sequence control
System Layer
Behavior model of the zones (Bit-Control)
Parameter Layer
Data interface to HMI, OPC UA, etc.
SDEA
Structured Deterministic Extended Automaton – the formal model concept
SEQ Control
HMI module for control, diagnosis and navigation within a SEQ
