S88 S95 training

A Practical Introduction to ISA-S88 and ISA-S95

Course Aim

To give participants a clear understanding of the basics of ISA-S88 and ISA-S95 and how they can be applied to both requirements specification and design of process automation systems. The participants will learn how to create a wireframe of an entire batch control and MES system. The users will get to create, run and interact with an entire S88 Batch procedure and S95 Product segment on the virtual control system Spike. The participants will gain a basic understanding of other relevant standards in control system architecture and integration and an introduction into how one would use standards to model out an entire factory floor control ecosystem in line with current industry 4.0 trends.

Overview

Industry standards provide the basis for benefiting from industry best practices. They can provide the common language for cross discipline collaboration. Existing facilities often have legacy systems and processes that are not based on any one standard but have instead evolved over time. Many of these facilities are driven by external forces (such as mergers) to embark on expensive and challenging projects to implement ISA standards. A practical understanding of these standards is essential prior to selection of a control or MES system or the engagement of expensive consultants.
