Sequence Control
Sequence Control integrates Process Recipe and the Aspen InfoPlus.21 real-time database to deliver recipe information to process control systems, operators, and other applications that depend on grade-specific data. The sequence control manager enables users to create and implement complex recipe transition strategies. These strategies permit multi-step transitions based on sophisticated rules and logic that are implemented through an advanced calculation tool.

At the time of transition, an operator selects the product, invoking the appropriate recipe and transition strategy. Sequence control allows the operator to initiate the execution of the transition.
Features
Sequence control offers manufacturers the opportunity to significantly reduce their transition times and off-spec material losses. This is especially true for processes that need to either manually or automatically:
- Manage sequence events
- Execute recipe items in a specific order
- Manage multiple grades
- Manage various steady-state conditions
Benefits
- Reduce the total transition time, while maintaining constraint limits
- Specify how and when a recipe item and its parameters will be invoked
- Provide uniform methods for grade transition and reduction of transition times
- Maximize production rates to unit performance constraints
- Maximize and standardize the use of procedures and best practices
