Phase Logic Development and Testing

The AVEVA Batch Management System controls and monitors the processing of batches through equipment phases. A phase is an independent processing action that can reside in the server or client platform, a PLC, a DCS, or other control system used to evaluate logic and interact with manufacturing equipment. Even though phases can reside in many different locations, the interface between the AVEVA Batch Management System and the phase is the same and must follow certain guidelines.

Read this section to learn how to design and test phase logic blocks. A phase block testing tool is provided with AVEVA Batch Management.

This information is written in a very generic manner to address the overall use of phase logic and is intended to be used only as a guide. You can apply the concepts described in this section regardless of the control system in which the phases are being written.
