Page 1: reading EPC charts

Section titled “Page 1: reading EPC charts”

EPC cheat sheet, page 1. Top row: the five symbols — Event (hexagon), Function (rounded rectangle), Connector (AND, XOR, OR circles), Control flow (arrow) and Process interface. Middle row: a table of what each connector means as a split and as a join; five rules of a well-formed chart; and the UC4 fan command drawn as a worked example. Bottom row: seven steps to read any chart, and four traps.

Page 2: eEPC for Pepa

Section titled “Page 2: eEPC for Pepa”

EPC cheat sheet, page 2, eEPC for Pepa. Top row: five satellites with their usual look and what each means in Pepa — organizational unit (the Head or an Arm), role or person (the senior, a co-authority, an escalation contact), information carrier (house state, telemetry, memory store, documents, health record), application system (Home Assistant, Paperless-ngx, Open Notebook, the local model) and software robot (a requested house action; attended: a check-in waiting for "estoy bien"). Middle row: the RASCI line verbs — carries out, decides on, contributes to, has consulting role in, must be informed about — and the other satellites in Pepa: IoT object, location, risk, business policy, KPI instance, requirement. Bottom: eight of Pepa's rules read as eEPC checks.
