Batch Procedure Framework
What is ISA-88?
The ISA-88 standards are a series of standards that address batch process control. The standards were developed by the International Society of Automation (ISA) and are widely used by manufacturers and automation suppliers.
The ISA-88 standards define a standard model for batch control systems. The model includes a process model, an equipment model, and a procedural model. The process model defines the steps that are involved in a batch process, the equipment model defines the equipment that is used in a batch process, and the procedural model defines the procedures that are used to control a batch process.
The ISA-88 standards also define a standard data structure for batch control systems. The data structure includes information about the process, the equipment, and the procedures.
The ISA-88 standards are widely used by manufacturers and automation suppliers because they provide a standard way to design, implement, and maintain batch control systems. The standards also provide a standard way to communicate between different components of a batch control system.
The ISA-88 standards have been adopted by a number of organizations, including the IEC and the FMEA. The standards are also used by a number of manufacturers and automation suppliers, including Honeywell, Rockwell Automation, and Siemens.
The ISA-88 standards have been shown to improve the efficiency, quality, and safety of batch manufacturing processes. The standards have also been shown to reduce the cost of batch manufacturing.
What is ISA-106?
ISA 106 is a standard that addresses the procedural automation of continuous process operations. It is based on the ISA-88 standard for batch process control, and it provides a framework for the development and implementation of procedures for continuous process operations.
The ISA 106 standard defines a number of terms and concepts, such as:
- Procedure: A set of instructions that are used to control a continuous process operation.
- Process step: A unit of work that is performed in a continuous process operation.
- Equipment: The hardware that is used in a continuous process operation.
- Control system: The software that is used to control a continuous process operation.
The ISA 106 standard also defines a number of procedures, such as:
- Startup procedure: A procedure that is used to start a continuous process operation.
- Shutdown procedure: A procedure that is used to shut down a continuous process operation.
- Grade change procedure: A procedure that is used to change the grade of a product that is being produced in a continuous process operation.
The ISA 106 standard provides a framework for the development and implementation of procedures for continuous process operations. The standard defines a number of terms and concepts, and it also defines a number of procedures. The standard can be used by manufacturers and automation suppliers to develop and implement procedures for continuous process operations.
