UNIT_PROCEDURE_SEQ
S88 unit-procedure sequencer: ordered operations under the standard state model with per-operation timeout supervision.
When to use it
Use UNIT_PROCEDURE_SEQ when one unit procedure — charge, mix, react, transfer, cool, discharge — is made of several operations that must execute in a fixed order on one unit, and an operation that stalls must hold the unit rather than wait forever.
Interface
The published port signature. This is the whole of what the block exposes to your program — the implementation body is not shown here and ships with the download.

Supervised control write
UNIT_PROCEDURE_SEQ commands a real actuator. It is written to sit underneath your own interlock, permissive and protection logic — not to replace it. Commission it as you would any control block you wrote yourself.

Every block in the catalogue is free to download, in every format it ships, with no purchase and no card. Browsing needs no account at all; downloading needs a signed-in one, so the block lands in your library and re-downloads whenever you need it.
Source is never published on this page. The implementation is released to a signed-in Ri Tech account — free of charge, but never anonymously.
