| Development
and installation of a batch control system using ISA S88.01
compliant batch software.
SUMMARY:
Used a programmable logic controller (PLC) and batch control
software that is compliant with the ISA S88.01 batch control
standard to control a batch process for a food flavorings manufacturer.
DESCRIPTION:
The batch control software utilizes a client-server model with
the server controlling the scheduling and running of batches
and the clients providing the operator with the ability to control
and monitor the batches. The batch server communicates with the
PLC to control the batch process. The PLC contains all the phase
logic required to control the various batch process equipment.
Developed the physical model representing the batch process equipment
and typical recipes for various batch processes. Developed all
the PLC phase logic. Developed custom graphic screens using human
machine interface (HMI) software to provide operators with a
graphical representation of the batch process. Integrated the
various pieces of the batch control system (batch server, batch
clients, HMI, PLC) to ensure proper system functionality.
