Equipment module
An equipment module can be made up of control modules and subordinate equipment
modules. An equipment module is usually centered on a piece of processing equipment, such
as a filter.
Characteristics of an equipment module:
● Can be part of a unit or stand-alone grouping of equipment within a process cell
● Can carry out a finite number of specific minor processing activities, such as dosing or
weighing
● Can, but does not need to contain the raw materials for a batch
Control module
A control module is a collection of measuring equipment, actuators, other control modules and
associated processing equipment that can be operated as a single unit from the point of view
of control engineering.
A control module can also be made up of other control modules. For example, a dosing control
module could be defined as a combination of several automatic on/off valve control modules.
Control modules are not included in the procedural model or in the process model.
This means that they cannot be addressed in SIMATIC BATCH either.
