Batch Recipe that can be used for multiple specific units

Hello,

I wrote batch operations that I want to tie to specific units, but I saw that you can only have an operation attached to one unit or unit class. In my situation, I want to use one unit class for all reactors if possible, but limit the operation to only work for specific instances of the unit class (i.e. only certain reactors should be able to run an operation). I can break it up into multiple unit classes, but then I have to write an identical operation for each unit class which I don't want to do. Any ideas?

  • Using equipment trains allows you a method to limit which units can be selected.

    Equipment trains can only be used on the ActiveX batch controls in DeltaV Operate. You would need to start using the DeltaV Operate graphics instead if you are using the Batch Operator Interface (BOI).

    To find more information, use Books Online and go under Batch -> Batch Reference -> Batch in the DeltaV System -> Understanding equipment configuration -> Equipment train classes. There is a link within this section that will also take you to Dynamic unit allocation section which will have examples to help better understand this.

    Yes the use of trains can limit what the possible selections are and can be subsets of the entire class.
