The recipe control system HiBatch is designed
according to NAMUR specifications and will reduce
costs, improve quality and helps to meet GLPstandards in your laboratory.
Automated process execution guarantees optimal
reproducibility and documentation.
The recipe module HiBatch allows the creation of
recipe flow diagrams in minutes without programming
knowledge.

Automatic Creating of Documentations
Press  to continue
Press  to go back
With the (WYSIWYG) form editor you may create
sheets with user-defined combinations of indicating
and input fields, diagrams, designs and pictures in
minutes.
Accumulated and computed data will be inserted
into the sheet at run-time. All sheets may be printed
and saved.
Thereby you receive a clear and significant
documentation with little effort.
Production of Self-Describing Programs with HiText
With HiText you may drag instructions
simply from a library on the working sheet.
The syntax is examined during the input.
Errors are underlined in red and announced
in the status bar.
Press  to continue
Press  to go back
HiText is a language for multitasking control, online evaluation and
communication.
HiText was developed in co-operation with users from the chemical
industry. The ambition was to create a self-describing and
documenting language for non experts. The module contains a
comfortable editor with a set of auxiliary functions and error search
assistance.

Recipe control with EasyBatchTM
Beside the commands Set, Wait till, If etc.
EasyBatch can call HiText programs.
Thereby the possibilites are almost
unlimited.
EasyBatch provides a new way of recipe creation for
small to medium complex processes. EasyBatch enables
the user to create a table based, self documenting recipe.
It distinguished it self due to easy and intuitive usage.
EasyBatch can be used in combination with manual
operation.

Consistent Representation of Values, Events and Phases
The event plotter for visualisation of events
(e.g. alarm messages, user comments).
The analog plotter shows the curves’
shape.
The phase plotter for visualisation of
operational sequences as a bar chart,
here the procedure of the recipe
control.
Press  to continue
Press  to go back
LabVision ensures gapless (compressed!) recording of
all data in a database.
In the Multiplotter you may view current and historical
data.
In addition to the measured and computed values,
events and phases will be visualised by symbols and
bars. Thus the values, events and phases are shown
in their most consistent and clear form.
Multiple Reading Utilities
Various measurement functions will assist you
for reading and analysing purposes. Trend,
gradient, integral and statistical values may also
be read directly. All values may be exported to
different file formats.
You may select directly a representation time
period, zoom in time intervals or choose a
historical batch process from a list.
Press  to continue
Press  to go back
The symbols shown by the event plotter will explain
their cause when hovering your mouse above them.
By clicking at a symbol the monitoring report will be
opened.
Online Measured-Value-Analysis
Press  to continue
Press  to go back
The time axis of the online diagram shows either
batch or the general time.
You may fade in historical values for comparison.
The diagram may be parameterised by menu or
HiText - programs.
Thereby the online diagram is especially suitable
for batch work.

Monitoring and Messaging
In the message report all warning and alert messages as well as
acknowledgement-requiring conditions are listed. Each data point may be
provided with several monitoring conditions.
For the treatment of the monitoring events you may plan various reactions:
text messages, starting a control program, alarm calls by E-Mail, SMS or
by telephone announcement.

Connecting Sensors, Actuators and Devices
T_RI_X
Connecting sensors, actuators and devices is of
great ease:
• choose a desired name,
• choose an automation unit and the data point type,
Press  to continue
Press  to go back
• select a projected connector by clicking or
choose the blinking one by clicking OK.
Creation of Flow Charts
This library includes all elements of the DIN/EN 28004
catalogue.
A special library with glass apparatus and laboratory
devices is available optionally.
Press  to continue
Press  to go back
You may already use the integrated RI flow sheet editor at your
prearrangements.
Standard drawings based on DIN/EN 28004 and administration
of additional technical apparatus are only a few of his strengths.
Process Pictures for Visualising and Manual Intervention.
Press  to continue
Press  to go back
The worksheets may be dynamized by indicating and controlling elements,
process dependent texts and pictures up to online rendered digital photos.
Here you may observe the current plant condition and make control
interferences.
No programming knowledge is needed to create a worksheet. The user
administration and access monitoring protect against unauthorised control
changes.
Micro Reactions Technology
Press  to continue
Press  to go back
LabVision is also suitable for micro reaction systems and
parallel reactor systems. To design your plant’s worksheet
drag the needed components from the library onto the
worksheet.

Serial Port Devices
Press  to continue

Devices with serial interface, whose parameters aren’t
preset in LabVision, are easily integrated by means of the
NAMUR interface device. Different values and parameters
may be sent and received over one interface.
HiSim - Simulation
HiSim allows you to reproduce the
process itself. This may be done by
assigning the process values to the
data points of the inputs, e.g. 99 degr.
to a temperature sensor input. Those
values may be calculated from the
data point values of the outputs.
