Batch and recipe control, ISA-88/95, MES, servo and motion control, and production lines.
Stop is an orderly, controlled termination; abort is a fast termination to a safe state that skips shutdown.
Read → GlossaryThe layer of monitored conditions and responses - hold, abort, prompt, branch - that fires when a batch deviates.
Read → GlossaryThe linked record of lots, intermediates, and equipment behind a batch, enabling forward and backward trace.
Read → GlossaryThe controlled pause of a phase into a safe held state and resumption from a known restart point.
Read → GlossaryThe compiled record of one batch - recipe, actual vs target, timings, charges, exceptions, and signatures.
Read → GlossaryDeciding which batches run, in what order, and on which train of units within a process cell.
Read → GlossaryThe runtime engine that walks a control recipe, issues phase commands, and coordinates branches across units.
Read → GlossaryShipping multiple products back to back on one products pipeline.
Read → GlossaryThe edge-mounted roller switch that warns then trips a wandering belt and links into the SCADA interlock chain.
Read → GlossaryThe embedded-loop system that stops a belt within seconds of a lengthwise tear and logs the trip to SCADA.
Read → GlossaryMaster recipe is the approved template; control recipe is the instantiated, batch-specific copy the sequencer runs.
Read → GlossaryThe balanced-coil sensor that catches ferrous and non-ferrous tramp metal on a belt before it wrecks a crusher.
Read → GlossaryMotor-side feedback closes velocity while load-side feedback closes position, correcting backlash and compliance.
Read → GlossaryThe timestamped paperless log of a batch that enables review by exception and Part 11 audit trails.
Read → GlossaryHow a batch engine acquires and releases shared equipment so two batches never seize the same resource.
Read → GlossaryThe instantaneous gap between commanded and actual position during motion, and its fault limit.
Read → GlossaryCoalescing many readings into one larger message to amortize per-message overhead, with a batch-window latency tradeoff.
Read → GlossaryReading the tooth-mesh frequency and its sidebands to diagnose gear wear, eccentricity, and a cracked tooth.
Read → GlossaryA reference profile of the best run, overlaid on live batches to catch deviation before product goes off-spec.
Read → GlossaryThe fast layer-2 multicast that carries substation protection trips and interlocks between IEDs.
Read → GlossaryAcoustic, infrared, and inline methods that catch a hot idler among thousands for predictive replacement.
Read → GlossaryThe S88 physical and procedural models, recipes, and phases that structure chemical, food, and treatment batches.
Read → GlossaryA grouping of control modules that performs a finite activity, sitting below the unit and above control modules.
Read → GlossaryThe state machine of every phase - idle, running, held, restarting, stopped, aborted - and its transitions.
Read → GlossaryThe seven-level equipment hierarchy from enterprise to control module, and how it aligns with ISA-95.
Read → GlossaryThe procedure, unit procedure, operation, and phase hierarchy that separates batch logic from equipment.
Read → GlossaryThe second tier of the batch hierarchy that runs a batch through one unit by sequencing its operations.
Read → GlossaryThe enterprise-control standard that defines the levels and interfaces linking the plant floor to ERP and MES.
Read → GlossaryThe enterprise-site-area-work-center-unit tree that structures asset naming, the UNS, and MES-to-SCADA mapping.
Read → GlossaryThe Level 3 system that executes and documents production between plant-floor control and enterprise ERP.
Read → GlossaryNodes that relay for each other for self-healing multipath resilience, and where wireless mesh like WirelessHART fits.
Read → GlossaryMiddleware that decouples publishers from subscribers, buffering and fanning messages out across MQTT, AMQP, and Kafka.
Read → GlossaryThe ISA-95 Level 3 umbrella covering production, quality, inventory, and maintenance - with MES as its production core.
Read → GlossaryThe device that generates trajectories and coordinates multiple axes, commanding the servo drives.
Read → GlossaryThe ISA-88 level holding all units needed to make a batch, and the natural boundary for a batch server.
Read → GlossaryThe rope emergency stop along a conveyor that latches, needs local reset, and reports its section to SCADA.
Read → GlossaryThe ISA-88 formula: process inputs, parameters, and outputs that parameterize a recipe, not the ordering logic.
Read → GlossaryThe ISA-88 general, site, master, and control recipe hierarchy and why centralized recipes drive consistency.
Read → GlossaryThe smallest ISA-88 element that triggers action, carrying parameters that map to equipment phase logic.
Read → GlossaryAdjusting formula quantities when a control recipe is made for a batch size different from the master's nominal.
Read → GlossaryThe natural energy that pushes hydrocarbons to the well, the main drive types, and their data signatures.
Read → GlossaryReviewing only flagged deviations at batch release instead of every data point, via an electronic batch record.
Read → GlossaryThe time-based fill-react-settle-decant activated sludge process run entirely by a controller.
Read → GlossaryThe amplifier that closes torque, velocity, and position loops around a motor from feedback, unlike a VFD.
Read → GlossaryRaising loop gains for stiffness and bandwidth, limited by inertia ratio and resonance, aided by notch filters.
Read → GlossaryThe suspended magnet that physically lifts ferrous tramp off a belt, plus permanent vs electromagnet designs.
Read → GlossaryThe middle of a servo's three nested loops, regulating speed from encoder-derived velocity with PI gains.
Read →Merobix is cloud SCADA for oil & gas - it reads the instruments and protocols defined here into one dashboard.
