Chapter 1 FactoryTalk Batch introduction
17
Separation of the Equipment and Procedural models allows for greater
protection of a company’s intellectual property. When implementing a project
with FactoryTalk Batch, engineers responsible for configuring the equipment
in the plant don’t need access to the recipes. They are only responsible for
designing equipment-specific phases (optimizing the physical capabilities of
the plant). The recipes remain in the hands of the formulators (usually
company employees).
• Operator: Uses the FactoryTalk Batch View and/or ActiveX controls to
schedule, start, and stop batches. Also uses a third-party human
machine interface (HMI) software package to view the physical plant
(pumps, valves, etc.). Can also review past batches and make
parameter adjustments online.
• The facility operator is the user of the designated equipment.
• The operator is the recipient of requests for parameter data
deferred to the operator.
• The operator is the default owner of a resource if the facility
operator is manually arbitrating between resources.
• MIS Administrator: Interacts with the uploaded event journals to
create batch reports and monitor material usage. The FactoryTalk
Event Archiver can upload batch data to a Microsoft SQL database.
