EZSoft, Inc. is at the forefront of the industry in the design and implementation of S88 batch systems. We have developed an S88 batch engine that is fully encapsulated in the PLC. For smaller stand-alone systems, we have developed fully class-based recipe editing with recipes stored in the PLC and edited via SCADA screens. For larger, more sophisticated systems, the recipes are stored in a relational database and edited with a web application.

ProductionSuite™ – Brief Product Synopsis:

Recipe Manager is a highly scalable, ASP.NET web-based database application that is used to edit S88-based recipes. Recipes are stored in a secure relational database, and a complete audit trail of all changes to each recipe is maintained within this secure database. Audit trails are accessible via read-only reports. Access to Recipe Manager is integrated with Active Directory, so users login with their usual network login and don’t have to remember any additional passwords.

Schedule Manager is an ASP.NET web-application used to create production campaign lists. Schedules are stored in a secure relational database. Access to Recipe Manager is integrated with Active Directory, so users login with their usual network login so users don’t have to remember any more passwords.

Inventory Manager is an ASP.NET web-based database application that is used to perform inventory transactions within an enterprise control system. Inventory data is stored in a secure relational database. Access to Inventory Manager is integrated with Active Directory, so users login with their usual network login and don’t have to remember any additional passwords.

Report Manager™ uses Microsoft’s SQL Reporting Services to provide a robust, reliable, and extendable reporting platform for control processes. Report Manager™ can be accessed from anywhere in the plant from a computer or terminal that has network access and a web browser.

ControlSuite™ – Brief Product Synopsis:

Batch Manager provides the framework and the engine for the controller based line and unit level control. Recipes can reside locally in the controller or can be downloaded from a Microsoft SQL database using the EZSoft Recipe Manager™, a highly scalable, ASP.NET web-based database application.

Phase Manager provides the controller level phase control. Phase logic is generated by ControlBuilder® using well defined standards and code constructs based on the specific process. The resulting code interfaces to the Unit and Device layers in the process controller. Additionally, Phase Manager provides the required interface to external devices such as HMIs and SCADAs.

Device Manager provides the controller level device control. Device logic is generated by ControlBuilder® using well defined standards and code constructs based on the specific process. The resulting code interfaces to the phase layer in the process controller. Additionally, Device Manager provides the required interface to external devices such as HMIs and SCADAs.

Alarm Manager provides the framework and the engine for processing alarms at the control layer. System alarms are configured using ControlBuilder®. The resulting Alarm Automation Objects are utilized by Alarm Manager in the process controller. Additionally, Alarm Manager provides the required interface to external devices such as HMIs and SCADAs.
