摘要:
The present invention discloses an apparatus to execute an auxiliary recipe and a batch recipe in a process control system, the apparatus comprising: a recipe interface to obtain an auxiliary recipe during execution of a batch recipe, wherein the batch recipe is associated with a first recipe identifier and the auxiliary recipe is associated with a second recipe identifier equal to the first recipe identifier; a resource manager to identify equipment reserved for the batch recipe based on the first recipe identifier and to facilitate use of the equipment by the auxiliary recipe based on the second recipe identifier being equal to the first recipe identifier; and an operating mode selector to cause execution of the auxiliary recipe, wherein the auxiliary recipe is to use the equipment reserved for the batch recipe based on the resource manager identifying the equipment based on the first and second recipe identifiers.
摘要:
The present invention discloses an apparatus to configure an auxiliary recipe for execution during a batch recipe in a process control system, the apparatus comprising a recipe analyzer to receive first and second recipes as well as a phase transition identifier to identify a transition point between at least two process steps in the first recipe. The invention further includes a rules compliance verifier to determine whether the second recipe can be executed at the transition point, and an entry point generator to store a recipe entry point in association with the second recipe in response to determining that the second recipe can be executed at the transition point.
摘要:
Example methods and apparatus to modify a recipe process flow during recipe execution are disclosed. A disclosed example method involves executing a recipe, and before completion of execution of the recipe, receiving process flow change information indicative of a modification to a process flow of the recipe. Process flow rules are then retrieved from a process flow rules data structure. The recipe process flow is modified based on the process flow change information in response to determining that at least one requested change indicated by the process flow change information does not violate one of the process flow rules.

摘要:
A method of generating a product recipe for execution by a batch process in an automated manufacturing environment, such the product recipe is associated with a plurality of actions, a set of transitions, and a set of parameters, and such that the plurality of actions define a plurality of logical levels including a phase level at which the batch process interacts with equipment, includes receiving a procedure definition specifying the plurality of actions, receiving a transaction definition specifying the set of transitions so that each one in the set of transitions is associated with two or more of the plurality of actions, and receiving the set of parameters. Receiving the set of parameters includes receiving at least one dynamic input parameter that resolves to a value without obtaining the value from the recipe or an operator prompt associated at the phase level of the recipe.
