In order to describe batch manufacturing, the S88 standard uses the following

models,
which are referred to throughout this appendix:

Physical Model - defines the hierarchy of equipment used in the batch process
Control Activity Model - defines the relationships between the various control
activities
required to perform batch processing
Procedural Control Model - defines the control that enables equipment to perform a
process task
Process Model - defines the results of performing procedural control on the
equipment in the process

Although it is likely that these steps will be done in a different order when
configuring an actual batch application,
the following is a general outline of the steps needed for configuring a DeltaV
Batch system.

In the DeltaV Explorer hierarchy, create the Plant Area under System Configuration
| Control Strategies.
Areas let you organize process cells and modules in a way that is meaningful for
your application.

Create the process cell class in the Advanced Definitions Library in DeltaV
Explorer, and drag the class into
the Plant Area to create the Process Cell. The process cell must be defined before
unit modules can be assigned to it.

Create the Control Module Classes for each device and control element.
Configure the logic in Control Studio.

Create the Equipment Module Classes. Create the named sets for command-driven
and state-driven algorithm types.
Add the appropriate control module classes. Configure the control logic for the
equipment module class in Control Studio.

Create Unit Classes and, if needed, define unit parameters. Add equipment
module classes and control module classes
to the unit classes as needed.

Create the Phase Classes in the Advanced Definitions Library with batch input
and report parameters as needed.
These parameters are used to download values to the phase logic or report actual
process values, respectively.

Using Control Studio, configure the Phase Logic for the phase classes. The
phase logic is written in the form of
sequential function charts that step through the actions to be performed during
each phase.

Using DeltaV Explorer, assign the Phase Classes to the unit classes. Note
that more than one phase class can be
assigned to a single unit class. (For example, a blender unit class might have
separate phases assigned for charging
ingredients, agitating, heating, and discharging the contents.)

Create the Unit Modules by dragging a unit class to the appropriate process
cell in the DeltaV Explorer.
Unit modules are instances of a unit class; they inherit their phase logic from the
assigned phase class or classes.
The resulting unit module contains instances of the control module and equipment
module classes contained in
the unit class as well as a list of the module aliases.

If necessary, create additional control modules and equipment modules that


are outside of the unit modules.

Select the Unit Phases to be included in download of the unit module. Only
those phases that are assigned
to the unit class and specifically marked as controller type will be available when
the unit module is run.

Resolve Alias Names for non-class-based items by specifying the actual


parameter reference paths to be used
for each alias. For class-based modules, assign device tags to function blocks as
needed.

Specify Unit Parameter values for any unit parameters that you defined for
the unit class
(UM_BLEND_500, for example, might have a volume of 1000 gallons and be made of
stainless steel).
Change any other configurable parameters as needed for the individual module
instances.

Assign unit modules (and contained control modules and equipment modules) to
the controller
(or workstation for simulation). Configure unit phase type (Disabled, Controller,
or External Phase).
Assign the area to the Batch Executive.

Assign the area to the Alarms and Events subsystem. (This is necessary to be
able to change any
parameter setpoints on the current workstation.)
Configure the Batch Recipes.

Assign the recipes to the Batch Executive.
