Equipment model
EquipmentInformation
The main structuring element of the schema definition is EquipmentInformation. Alternately, schemas may be made up an equipment, equipment class, or equipment capability test specification document.
EquipmentInformation elements define equipment, equipment classes, and/or equipment capability test specifications.
Equipment
Equipment represents the elements of the equipment hierarchy model defined in ANSI/ISA-95.00.01 Section 4.2. Equipment may be definitions of sites, areas, production units, production lines, work cells, process cells, or units.
Examples of equipment are “Reactor Unit #1”, “Bottling Line #1”, and “Horizontal Drill Press #4”
Equipment may be made up of other equipment, as defined in equipment hierarchy model. For example, a production line may be made up of work cells. Each may be defined as a separate equipment element with separate properties and capabilities.
Equipment elements may be used to contain information about specific equipment. Equipment elements may also include the definition of capability test results.
EquipmentClass
An equipment class is a means to describe a grouping of equipment with similar characteristics for purposes of scheduling and planning. Any piece of equipment may be a member of zero or more equipment classes. Examples of equipment classes are “Reactor Unit”, “Bottling Line”, and “Horizontal Drill Press”.
EquipmentClass information may be used to contain information about classes of Equipments. It may contain the list of equipment belonging to the class and the list of capability test specifications associated with equipment class properties.
EquipmentCapabilityTestSpecification
An equipment capability test specification may be associated with an equipment property. This is typically used where a test is required to ensure that the equipment has the rated capability. An equipment capability test specification may test for one or more equipment properties.
EquipmentCapabilityTestSpecification information may be used to contain information about equipment capability tests. It may contain identifications of the tested equipment properties and the tested equipment class properties.
