TS EN 61512-1

TS EN 61512-1 is the Turkish edition of a standard that defines reference models for batch control in the process industries and provides terminology to explain how those models and terms relate to one another. As the first part of the series, it gives a conceptual framework for understanding how batch production is structured and discussed in automation and process-control practice.

A model-based view of batch control

In general technical use, batch control differs from continuous control because materials, equipment use, and processing steps are handled as discrete batches. This approach helps describe recipe handling, equipment usage, procedure sequences, and execution logic in a consistent way. The focus of this standard is the model structure and terminology used to describe batch-control systems, rather than a specific machine or a single production method.

Why terminology matters

The terminology provided by the standard supports a common language for model, function, and hierarchy in process industries. That shared vocabulary helps production, automation, and control teams define batch planning, execution, and monitoring more clearly. The document covers this conceptual foundation for batch control, while also noting that it may not apply to every batch-control application.

• Reference models for batch control in the process industries
• Terminology that explains relationships between models and terms
• Consistent interpretation of core batch-production concepts
• A general framework that may not fit every batch-control application
