Control Functions

The Advanced Process Manager Module (APMM) provides a variety

of control tools that can be customized to address a wide range of

process automation needs.

Functions, from I/O scanning through regulatory and logic control to

more advanced control, can be easily implemented through the APM.

Included are a sophisticated regulatory control package, fully integrated

interlock logic functions, and an advanced process engineer-oriented

Control Language (CL/APM).

CL/APM is an enhanced version of the Control Language implemented

by Honeywell in the Process Manager. This language facility includes the

sequence structures needed to handle batch or hybrid applications as

well as the computational capability needed for some continuous control

tasks.

Key to the power of this control capability is the sharing of the data within

the APM, and sharing of data from other devices on the Universal Control

Network.
