It is assumed that you are a batch control engineer getting ready to configure a DeltaV Batch application. You should be familiar with control theory and have some understanding of batch control concepts, particularly the ISA S88.01 standard. You should have a working knowledge of the equipment, resources, and processes of the batch plant in which a DeltaV Batch application will be running.
You should also be familiar with the basics of using DeltaV software. If you are a new DeltaV user, we recommend that you go through the tutorial Getting Started with Your DeltaV ™Software before beginning this tutorial.
It is also assumed that you are familiar with the basics of using Microsoft Windows operating system.
WARNING!The tutorial exercises are intended for users of a new system, not one that is already controlling a process. Do not perform any tutorial procedures that involve installing or downloading configuration information into an operational system without fully considering the impact of these changes.
If you intend to do the tutorial exercises on your workstation, it must be a configured Professional or ProfessionalPLUS workstation with the appropriate batch licenses. To run the tutorial configuration in a controller, you will need a controller. You also need to have security access to batch activities (specifically, to configure, download, build recipes, and operate batches) as established in the DeltaV User Manager. Finally, you will need to enable Batch and Advanced Unit Management functions in the System Preferences dialog ().
