Batch Control with Distributed Flow Control
Integrated control and monitoring of the overall flow and distribution of chemicals to improve product quality throughout a fabrication plant.
Industries Served:
Semiconductor, Electronics, Food & Beverage, Continuous Process
Products Used
- Mid-range PLCs
- Remote I/O System, PLC-based
- Man-Machine Interface Software
The Advantages:
- Reliable, flexible, low-cost system to interface with chemical management tools.
- Creates more efficient use of panel space at remote valve box locations.
- Faster machine enhancement development and customization.
- Able to expand Remote I/O structure with minimal downtime.
- Modularity of Remote I/O system makes repairs easy and fast.
How It Works:
- The application provides an integrated control solution for two main system components: the Main System Controller (MSC), which controls the overall chemical flow interfaces, and the Chemical Delivery Modules (CDM), which performs local control for valves, valve boxes and interfaces to process tools.
- Remote I/O technology enables remote I/O connecting to the MSC, operated by a PLC/CPU controller.
- The CDM is also operated by this type of controller. Each CDM has an LCD operator panel connected to the local PLC.
- Multiple CDMs are connected to the MSC, which acts as a data concentrator. The MSC is networked to the MMI software, and this application is used to monitor the activity of the CDMs, generate process alarms, log data, create reports, generate maintenance requests, and share data with other plant systems.
