Glossary
Allocation
A type of coordination control that allocates a resource to a batch or a unit.
Alternative branch
Structure element of a recipe with which an OR branch or an OR divergence is achieved. An
alternative branch consists of at least two vertically arranged branches joined at top and bottom
by a single horizontal line. With alternative branches, you can adapt the execution of the recipe
to states in the process. The conditions in the top transitions of the sequences decide which
sequence is executed.
Automation system
A programmable controller (PLC) consisting of a central rack, a CPU and various input/output
modules.
Abbreviation: AS
Basic control
Basic control means the configuration of the automation system. This must be done separately
from the recipe control strategy. As tools, you have the CFC or SFC editor available.
Batch
● Material that is being produced or that has been produced by a single execution of a batch
process.
● An "imaginary" object representing the procedure for producing material at any point within
the process.
Note: Batch means both the material created by and during the process as well as the unit
that represents the manufacturing procedure for this material. Batch is used as an abstract
contraction of the words "the production of a batch".
Batch control
Allows online monitoring and control and execution of the control recipe.
