Term
Meaning

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

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
