Description:

This course presents an approach to developing functional requirements/specifications using the models and terminology defined in the ANSI/ISA88 batch control standards. A review of the characteristics of batch manufacturing systems is included. Participants will explore the ANSI/ISA88 concept that separates the recipe from the equipment. This course includes a methodology that defines an object approach based on ANSI/ISA88 that promotes the reuse of these objects from one project to the next.

 

You will be able to:

• Specify the requirements for a batch control system
• Effectively structure and subdivide equipment entities
• Define procedural elements that can be effectively used with the above equipment entities
• Describe modes and states and how they are applied at the equipment level
• Develop phase logic that executes in equipment and that can deal with both normal and abnormal operations
• Recognize the various control languages that are available
• Identify the alternative architectures for programmable logic controllers (PLCs), distributed control systems (DCSs), and PC-based control systems
• Describe the interfaces that are needed between batch control and other systems within an enterprise
