The FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor is a graphical interface through
which a database of process equipment is defined and maintained (an area
model).
• Components defined in the FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor are
used to interface with process-connected devices (PCDs) in the facility.
During recipe configuration, the area model provides a list of available
units and phase classes.
• Configure phases and commands to trigger an electronic signature
request when a report or recipe parameter is out of range (parameter
deviation), or when specific commands are executed on a batch (such
as Abort Batch or Active Step Change).
• During recipe verification, the area model confirms that the
designated equipment is capable of executing the procedures.
• During recipe execution, resource arbitration functions use the area
model to allocate equipment based on recipe and operator requests.
• The area model is available to all other FactoryTalk Batch applications.
In addition to the area model, the FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor allows
configuration of the following:
• Communication functions
• Electronic signatures
• Enumeration sets
• Data servers
• Recipe approvals
• Recipe version control
• FactoryTalk Event Archiver functions
