C BATCH
Batch process control
With INEA’s C Batch tools running on Mitsubishi Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) hardware, the execution of recipes is relocated from the PC platform to a PAC platform. Recipe based batch process control systems are simplified for easier handling, without essentially reducing the expressive power and the abstraction level.
Simpler batch implementation
- S88.01 style recipe running without the need for PCs in runtime operation,
means increased security - Simultaneous execution of several recipes provides greater flexibility
- Enhanced phase engine system running in real time
System Benefits
C Batch provides all the features you would expect from traditional PC-based batch control software, but with the reliability for which PACs are renowned, including:
- Simultaneous execution of several recipes with automatic allocation of units for increased productivity
- Support for parallel (AND) as well as selective (OR) branches for improved flexibility
- Execution of the state-transition algorithm of individual phases, extended by the notion of superstates to improve the abstraction level and simpler programming
- High security of control system with isolation from computer viruses and windows OS problems reduces down time
- Configurable behaviour related to propagation of holding transition from phases to recipe and vice versa provides flexible manipulation
- Recipe versus physical model consistency check increases safety
- High availability embedded database technology on PAC platform improves speed and safety
- Scaling of recipe parameters and consequently scaling of production batches improves flexibility
- Controller based architecture with extremely high reliability of standard industrial PAC environment improves safety
