Define Process Phases

Define process phases only for the classes of equipment that actually process material. In our example, only the Mixers process class processes material. The BulkTks and HoldTks process classes do not.

To define process phases

1. With the Processes tab active, select the Mixers process class and click Phases.

   The Edit Phases dialog box appears.

2. In the Name box, type Mix.

3. Accept the Phase Type Automatic.

4. In the Save History area, select the Control/Status Activity and Parameter Status check boxes.

   If you do not select these check boxes, phase events and parameters are not stored in the history database.

5. Click Add.

6. On the Edit Phases dialog box, repeat steps 1 through 6 for the phases listed in the following table.

Note: You must click the Change button following any phase modifications.

The following image shows an example of the completed task.
