ANSI / ISA-88 is a standard for batch control , which is often referred to as S88 or SP88 . It is a design philosophy for software, equipment, and process flow. Part 1 was approved by ISA in 1995 . ISA-88 was adopted by the IEC as IEC 61512. The standard is published in Germany as DIN standard DIN EN 61512. Based on ISA-88, there is also a standard for the company and operations management level with ISA-95 .

Overview

The ISA-88 batch-oriented control strategy currently contains the following parts:

Part 1: Models and Terminology (2010)
Part 2: Data Structures and Guide for Languages (2001)
Part 3: Models and representations of process and factory recipes (2003)
Part 4: Batch Production Records (2006)

TR88.00.02: Machine and Unit States: An Implementation Example of ISA-88 (2008)

ISA-88 offers consistent standards and terminology for batch-oriented operation and defines the physical model, procedures and recipes. The standard wanted to address the following problems: lack of a universal model for batch operation, communication difficulties with user requirements, integration of batch automation solutions from various suppliers and difficulties in configuring batch applications.

ISA-88.01

ISA-88.01 is a standard that describes batch production using the following hierarchical models:

Process Model (Equipment and Recipes)
Physical model (equipment)
Procedural control model (recipes)
Control Activity Model - Equipment And Recipes
Recipes (Recipe)

ISA-88.01 was initially called ISA S88 and was adopted as IEC 61512-1 in 1997.

Models

Overview in UML

Process model

The standard defines a process model (process model) comprising a process (process) includes, which consists of an ordered set of process sections there (process stages), which consists of an ordered set of process operations are made (process operations), which consists of an ordered set of process steps (process actions) exist.

Physical model

The physical model is hierarchically composed of the following layers:

The physical model (physical model) begins with the company (enterprise) which is a work must contain (site) that plant Complex may contain (areas) which plants (process cells) may contain components a partial plant contain (unit) must can contain the technical equipment (equipment modules), which can contain individual control (control modules).

Sequence control model

The model of flow control (procedural control model) consists of recipe procedures (recipe procedures), consisting of an ordered set of unit procedures (unit procedures), consisting of an ordered set of operations (operations), consisting of an ordered set of functions (phases) . Some levels can be omitted.

Recipes

There are the following recipe types:

Process recipe (general recipe): general recipe for the entire company
Factory recipe (recipe site): Recipe for the location
Basic recipe (master recipe) depends on the facilities (equipment) of the work from
Control recipe (control recipe).

The recipe content consists of:

Recipe header
Material and production data (formula)
Device Requirements (equipment requirements)
Recipe procedure
other information required for the recipe execution.

More models and functions

In addition to structural definitions and models for batch control, ISA-88 also offers functions and models for:

Control Activities
Recipe Management
Production Planning and Scheduling
Production Information Management
Process management
Subsystem monitoring (unit supervision)
Process control

ISA-88.00.02

With TR88.00.02 "An Implementation example of ISA-88" there is a concrete implementation concept for packaging machines (Batch Control Industry). TR88.00.02 was published in 2002 by the non-profit organization OMAC under the name PackML (Packaging Machine Language).
