ISA-88

Batch control using the ANSI/ISA-88 standards

This course presents an approach to develop 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 explore the ANSI/ISA88 concept that separates the recipe from the equipment. 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;
Understand 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;
Understand the various control languages that are available;
Understand the alternative architectures for PLC, DCS, and PC-based control system;
Describe the interfaces that are needed between batch control and other systems within an enterprise.

You will cover:

ANSI/ISA-88 Standards: NAMUR NE33 Guidelines - IEC 848 - IEC-1131
Physical Model: Process Cells - Units - Equipment Modules - Control Modules
Recipe Types: General - Site - Master - Control
Recipe Information Categories: Header - Procedure - Formula - Equipment Requirements
Procedural Control Model: Procedure - Unit - Operation - Phase
Modes and States: Exception Handling - Allocation and Arbitration
Batch Tracking: History - Reports
Control Activity Model: Recipe Management - Production Planning and Scheduling - Production Information Management - Process Management - Unit Supervision - Process Control - Personnel and Environmental Protection

Classroom/Laboratory Exercises:

Develop procedural elements using the ANSI/ISA-88 procedural control model and test those procedural elements against the equipment entities
Develop recipes using the ANSI/ISA-88 recipe model and the ANSI/ISA-88 recipe representation
Develop phase logic that runs in the equipment entities and links to the procedural elements
Apply the modes and various states defined in ANSI/ISA-88
