Process Modeling

Configuring a process model requires a thorough understanding of the process and the control system that you want to model. Using the Process Model Editor to configure a process model is not an overly complicated task. You invest most of your development effort in revising the process model based on information that you gather about the process of your facility and achieving your desired level of flexibility.

Obtaining accurate process and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) of the process before configuring the process model is very helpful. You can use the P&IDs to determine the components and capabilities of the process.

Batch processing facilities are typically comprised of a variety of vessels, and the equipment necessary to move materials and products between the vessels. Use the Process Model Editor to configure a batch control system in a manner that facilitates recipe creation and the running of recipes within batches.
