Function Chart Builder 6.2

Function Chart Builder by ABB Automation Products GmbH is a graphical engineering tool for designing, testing, and maintaining function charts in industrial automation. It helps control engineers model complex machine and process sequences with clear, standards-based logic using IEC 61131-3 Sequential Function Charts (SFC). Steps, transitions, and actions are easy to define, visualize, and reuse, making sequence control more transparent and maintainable.

Function Chart Builder integrates with ABB control platforms and engineering toolchains to streamline the workflow from design to commissioning. Engineers can work offline, validate logic with built-in checks, then deploy and monitor online to observe sequence execution in real time. Simulation and step-by-step execution aid safe testing before going live, while diagnostics and tracing simplify troubleshooting.

Key capabilities:

• Intuitive drag-and-drop chart editor with annotations and cross-references
• Reusable libraries and templates for standard sequences
• Hierarchical and modular chart design for large applications
• Online monitoring of steps, transitions, and variables, with forcing and tracing
• Syntax and consistency checks for standards-compliant projects
• Version and change management integration for team collaboration
• Import/export options to accelerate reuse across projects

Benefits:

• Speeds up engineering and commissioning
• Improves clarity and maintenance of sequence logic
• Reduces errors through validation and live diagnostics
• Supports consistent, standards-based designs across teams and sites

Typical applications:

• Batch sequences and start-up/shutdown procedures
• Machine state and mode management
• Interlocks, permissives, and alarm-driven actions

Function Chart Builder provides a dependable, engineer-friendly environment for creating robust sequence control, helping organizations deliver reliable automation with less effort and greater confidence.
