batch
An entity that represents the production at any point in the process. A
batch is a running control recipe. The material that is being produced
or that has been produced by a single execution of a recipe is also
considered a batch.
batch control
Consists of a sequence of one or more steps (phases) that must be
performed in a defined order for a finite period of time to process
finite quantities of input material to produce finished product.
batch process
A process that leads to the production of finite quantities of material
by subjecting quantities of input materials to a defined order of
discontinuous processing actions using one or more pieces of
equipment.
binding
Binding is the process of mapping steps within a control recipe to
actual equipment in a plant.
binding (in transitions)
Binding is a possible state of the Firing attribute of a transition. When
the transition is in the Binding state, it is in the process of attempting
to bind one or more of the steps following the transition. The binding
process may involve the generation of binding prompts and/or the
generation of arbitration requests.
