FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor

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
