Professional ISA-88 Batch Control Systems : Structuring Flexible Batch Manufacturing Through Modular Recipe Architectures
Overview
A practical guide to building and running ISA-88 batch systems with clarity, consistency, and flexibility. This book explains how to design modular batch manufacturing environments that are easier to maintain, easier to scale, and better suited to real plant conditions. It moves from core batch concepts to architecture, recipe design, execution logic, scheduling, safety, and data handling, giving readers a structured path from theory to implementation.
Written for engineers, automation professionals, and system integrators, it focuses on how ISA-88 concepts apply across PLCs, DCS platforms, and MES interfaces. Readers learn how to separate process intent from equipment behavior, model recipes in reusable layers, and define clear boundaries between procedures, operations, phases, and steps.
Inside the book- ISA-88 fundamentals, terminology, and system scope
- Equipment and control hierarchies, including process cells and control modules
- Recipe structures, master recipes, control recipes, and reusable templates
- Parameterization strategies for modular and configurable batch logic
- Equipment module design, interface contracts, and shared resource handling
- State machines, execution modes, suspend and resume behavior, and abort handling
- Scheduling, coordination, and batch recovery in multi-batch environments
- Control recipe development from requirements through validation
- Instrumentation, interlocks, alarms, fail-safe behavior, and safety integration
- HMI design, operator workflows, audit trails, and compliance-ready records
- Testing, commissioning, simulation, and acceptance planning
The chapter sequence is built for progressive learning. It begins with the foundations of batch manufacturing and ISA-88 architecture, then advances into modular recipe construction and equipment module reuse. Later chapters address runtime execution, plant coordination, operator interaction, traceability, and commissioning, so readers can connect design choices to day-to-day production needs.
What makes it valuable is its emphasis on practical implementation. Examples throughout the book show how to translate plant requirements into ISA-88 objects, how to design robust phase logic, and how to keep batches predictable without sacrificing adaptability. The result is a focused reference for creating batch systems that support quality, safety, and repeatable performance.
Ideal for professionals building new batch platforms or improving existing ones, this book offers a clear framework for designing control systems that are modular, maintainable, and production-ready.
