Procedure Automation for Continuous Process Operations
This standard on procedure automation for continuous process operations defines models, styles, strategies, philosophies, and the lifecycle for automation of procedures in the continuous process industries. Terminology is included that helps explain the relationships between these elements and terms. For background on the models and styles, refer to ISA-TR106.00.01-2013. For background on the lifecycle management strategy and procedure automation strategy, refer to ISA-TR106.00.02-2017. Procedures for continuous process operations include situations of startup, shutdown, abnormal situations, hold step, and transitions of process feed/output. These procedures might exist in manual form, probably written, prior to automation. The goals are to increase uniformity and consistency of procedure automation and reduce the risk, cost, and errors associated with automating procedures.
