PC-based phase execution
The following is an example of a PC-based phase executing within a recipe. The PC-based phase is created to prompt the operator to take a sample to the
Quality
control and then enter the results. The phase communicates with the FactoryTalk Batch
Server by way of the Batch Phase Execution
control. The phase can direct the server to prompt the operator, wait for results and have the server store the result in the electronic batch record. The recipe only proceeds if the result is within the appropriate range.
- As the batch is processed, theQC_Chkphase is executed.
- TheQC_Chkphase displays a screen to the operator, requesting that the operator have QC take an in-process sample. TheQC_Chkphase does not continue processing until the operator enters the QC result.
- When the operator enters the result, theQC_Chkphase sends the report value to theFactoryTalk BatchServer by way of theBatch Phase Executioncontrol. TheBatch Phase Executioncontrol stores the value in the electronic batch record. While the phase is executing, an activity log file is updated with process events.
- Control is returned to the recipe, and it continues processing the balance of the transitions and steps.
