Procedure Order

Overview

Procedure Order tracks multi-step process progression and routes to status-based branches.

It can detect:

• in-progress execution
• step order deviations
• step duration deviations
• successful completion

It also supports optional concurrent procedure instances.

Input

Procedure Configuration

array required

Ordered list of procedure steps.

Each step item:

• Step Active (required): dynamic boolean indicating whether step is active now.
• Step Name: display name for step; defaults to Step N when empty.
• Expected Duration Range (seconds): [min,max] expected duration window.

Runtime interpretation:

• Rising edge of Step Active marks step start.
• Completion depends on selected step completion mode.
• Deviation time is measured outside expected range.

Concurrent Procedures

boolean

When enabled, multiple procedure instances may be tracked in parallel.

When disabled, single-instance progression is enforced.

Transition Time Threshold (seconds)

number

Threshold for time deviation classification.

If any completed step deviation time exceeds this threshold, final status can become time-deviated.

Set 0 (or empty) to disable threshold-based time deviation decision.

Step Complete Condition

string required

Rule for marking a step as completed:

• Step Inactive (step_inactive): step completes when it transitions from active to inactive.
• Next Step Active (next_step_active): step completes when next step becomes active.

This choice strongly affects how quickly status advances in edge-triggered signals.

Reset Procedure Counter

boolean

When true, resets aggregate counters (complete/deviation counts).

Runtime behavior:

• Counter reset can happen during init and on later runs if dynamic input sets it true.

Output

Procedure Status

string

One of:

• In Progress (in_progress): procedure is running and not yet terminal.
• Deviate Step Time (deviate_step_time): completed with timing deviation only.
• Deviate Step Order (deviate_step_order): completed with order deviation only.
• Deviate Step Order and Time (deviate_step_order_time): completed with both order and timing deviations.
• Complete (complete): completed without deviation.

Current Step Name

string

Active/current step label.

Step Information

array

Per-step runtime state:

• stepName
• stepActive
• stepWaitingCount
• stepCompleted
• stepDuration
• stepDeviateTime

Procedure Timing

• startTime (ISO timestamp)
• endTime (ISO timestamp)
• duration (seconds)

Procedure Counters

integer

• completeCount
• deviateStepTimeCount
• deviateStepOrderCount
• deviateStepOrderTimeCount

Branching

In Progress

Triggered when procedure is still active/non-terminal.

Deviate

Triggered for any terminal deviation status.

Complete

Triggered when procedure finishes without deviation.
