ISA88 Summary
The ISA-88 standards are a series of standards that address batch process control. The standards were developed by the International Society of Automation (ISA) and are widely used by manufacturers and automation suppliers.
- Define a standard model for batch control systems. The model includes a process model, an equipment model, and a procedural model. The process model defines the steps that are involved in a batch process, the equipment model defines the equipment that is used in a batch process, and the procedural model defines the procedures that are used to control a batch process.
- Define a standard data structure for batch control systems. The data structure includes information about the process, the equipment, and the procedures.
- Widely used by manufacturers and automation suppliers because they provide a standard way to design, implement, and maintain batch control systems. The standards also provide a standard way to communicate between different components of a batch control system.
- Adopted by a number of organizations, including the IEC and the FMEA. The standards are also used by a number of manufacturers and automation suppliers, including Honeywell, Rockwell Automation, and Siemens.
- Shown to improve the efficiency, quality, and safety of batch manufacturing processes. The standards have also been shown to reduce the cost of batch manufacturing.
