FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor
introduction
The FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor is the component to configure the
equipment and associated functions to produce your facility’s area model. The
components defined in the FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor interface
with the process-connected devices (PCDs) in the facility.
As outlined in the ISA S88.01 Batch Control Standard, the area model of a
plant is separated into the following physical components:
• Process Cell
• Unit
• Phase
• Control Module
To build the area model, configure each of these components. In addition to
the area model, the FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor allows specification
of communication functions, enumeration sets, data servers, FactoryTalk
Event Archiver functions, and configuration of FactoryTalk Batch Server
options.
In this section, open a sample file to examine a configured area model for an
