Embodiment Construction

[0021] Due to the complexity of modern process control systems and the unlimited number of process plant configurations and / or batch configurations, it is therefore advisable to detect any defects that may arise before releasing modifications, patches, upgrades, etc., of process control systems and / or batch configurations difficult. For example, these undetected defects may only become apparent after and / or while the process control system and / or batch configuration is operating in conjunction with the actual process plant. To alleviate the need to replace, modify, patch, update and / or upgrade one or more of their process control systems and / or batch configurations, some customers instead choose to isolate their process control systems from other equipment and / or networks. While these initiatives may reduce the likelihood of outages, they prevent process engineers from taking advantage of features and / or capabilities available in newer versions of the process control system an...

Abstract

Batch configuration testing in a batch process control system is performed by testing execution paths through a batch configuration using a simulation of the batch process control system to run the test. Various execution paths may be provided to user for selection for testing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to batch configurations, and more particularly, to exemplary methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for testing batch configurations. Background technique [0002] Batch is a process control system configuration that can be used to run repetitive and / or sequential operations to manufacture products. During the lifecycle of a process plant, process control systems may need to be replaced, modified, patched, upgraded, etc. However, any changes to the process control system have the potential to disrupt the operation of the process plant and / or batch configuration. Contents of the invention [0003] Exemplary methods, apparatus, and products for testing batch configurations are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes: using a processor to identify an execution path through a batch configuration of a process control system; generating a test plan for the execution path; stimulating the process co...
