Describe Alias Table Functionality ........................................................................................................3
In practical scenarios, a batch process may require to change the process equipment for loaded
recipe. ‘Alias Table Load Option’ allows user to change the instance details (an instance represents
a process Equipment) without disturbing the loaded control strategy.
When any change is made to a loaded RCM/SCM, including alias table parameter reference, the
delta flag appears on the project tab and remain until the object is loaded, or is updated from
project.

Process Introduction:
Demonstration describes batch process with the help of an example. The example process consists
of a mixer and two blenders. It works in semi-continuous and batch Polymer industries where
mixing of ingredients prior to blending is common.
In this process, two materials Material1 and Material2 are mixed in Mixer and the resultant
intermediate is transferred to one of 2 Blenders. The blender can be selected by the user.
The Material3 and Material4 are then blended with the intermediate transferred from the
Mixer. After completion of Agitation process in the selected Blender, Final Product is
transferred to Storage Tank.
As same set of equipment is used for different recipes, Clean In Place (CIP) process is used
in Blender for purging operation. Blender 1 and Blender 2 will be acquired by different
Recipes. So Clean In Place is required.
Each batch of material has an association formulation that varies from batch to batch. The
formulations may vary the amount of the two ingredients (Material1 and Material2) and
Blending Time. The formulation also indicates which Blender, the Mixer will transfer the
batch to.
Demo Batch Control Application:
This pre-built strategies and Custom Displays will help the user to understand how EBM
Components can be configured.
This example uses names for Phase block library that reflects S88 standards
This demonstration mainly focus on following key EBM Functionality
1. EBM Layered Recipes
a. Allows user to build and execute multiple hierarchical recipes using RCM,
SCM, UCM, CM and Phase Block
2. Formulations using Data block
a. To store data and provide automatic alignment of formula and report
parameters between Recipe layers
3. Alias Table
a. Acts as switch to connect the client block to different destination blocks as
defined through user selected instances parameters at run time. This gives
SCM/RCM the ability to control different equipment each time it runs.
4. Common Device
a. The Common Device Functionality in Control Module enables an Exclusive
use resource to completely acquired by a Sequence (SCM/RCM) and own it
unless and until the sequence intends to release it.
