ControlDraw
This web was generated automatically from a sample ControlDraw model.
Move the mouse over the diagram area - you can click on the objects that have numbers by them to go to the
detailed diagram for the object. It is a bit like using ControlDraw (but
that is much more powerful!) More Sample models

To design an entire system that achieves the required functionality and works homogeneously, you have to:
· · Ensure all the IO, controllers, workstations etc are correctly specified, found a place, ordered, tested etc
· · Parameterise the control system with the details of the plant, for example setting all IO addresses and all the scales and ranges.
· · Design the basic control - the bottom layer if the physical model
· · Design the Equipment phases- the bottom layer if the procedural model
· · Design the procedural control - the recipes
· · Map the recipes to the equipment
· · Efficiently deploy the capabilities of modern control systems
· · Consider all along the needs and wishes of the end users
· · Collect all the information that is required from the project that is needed to program the system.
All the control modules and their settings, the phase logic steps and transitions, the Tagnames for everything
· · Map all that data into the target system
· · Define the required states of all objects and modules.
· · Provide a system that meets your users expectations of what you can supply.
· · Provide an accurate documented history of the development of the system and the origin of the data.
This is mandatory for validation on pharma projects, but even on less regulated projects it is also a good idea for other reasons. Even in case you get a problem client.
