Automation Software General Status Screen

During the automation software operation of the equipment, all parameters defined in the recipe can be monitored at the control systems software computer screen. A "General Status" screen allows the software operator to see the primary components of the machine, and their current status. Components are color coded, allowing the software operator to quickly see problem areas. A process cycle status area near the bottom of the screen lists current flight bars (racks, barrels, etc.) in process. Their location, current status, time left, part numbers, lot numbers and other vital statistics are also listed in the automation control systems software.

The ability to "drill down" to the individual tank level is included. This allows the software operator to compare component status with set points, and to ensure that everything is operating correctly.
