Recipe Editor

The batch control system coordinates the construction and management of recipes in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the ISA-88 Flexible Batch Specification. Consistent with this standard, the Recipe Editor supports all three sublevels of the recipe procedure.

The batch control system provides a recipe management system that enables you to construct and edit master recipes. Master recipes are not specific to a process line. You can assign master recipes to any process line that has the classes of process equipment defined in the recipe. A master recipe becomes a control recipe when it is assigned to a train and it is initialized by the AVEVA Batch Management System. A control recipe is specific to a process line.

A master recipe may or may not be size specific. All formula quantities for ingredients, intermediates, by-products, and finished goods are entered as either actual quantities or as a percent of the batch size. Quantities expressed as percentages are scaled when the batch is scheduled and initialized.

You can save, retrieve, and print recipes. You can also import and export recipes. A revision history capability enables you to enter, save, and review the change history for each recipe.

The Recipe Compare utility allows you to compare two recipes and then view the differences in a generated report.
