Attach to Equipment Phase
(PATT)

• prevent another program or FactoryTalk Batch software from
commanding an equipment phase.
• make sure another program or FactoryTalk Batch software does not
already own an equipment phase.

Structured Text
The operands are the same as those for the relay ladder PATT instruction.
Description: The PATT instruction lets a program take ownership of an equipment phase.
• Ownership is optional. As long as an equipment phase has no owners,
any sequencer (program in the controller, FactoryTalk Batch software)
can command an equipment phase.
• FactoryTalk Batch software always takes ownership of an equipment
phase.
• Once a sequencer owns an equipment phase, no other sequencer can
command the equipment phase.
