ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a path management system for regulating equipment resources which moves process material through a process system. The process system includes a control procedure for implementing a specific process application. The path management system includes a path editor for building different path specifications, each of which defines an equipment set and sequences of equipment operations for a specific process application. A database is interconnected to the path editor for storing the plurality of path specifications built by the path editor. The path management system further includes a path selector for selecting a single path specification for the specific process application from a plurality of path specifications stored in the database. The path selector then validates the availability of equipment resources identified by the selected single path specification at a particular instant in time. The path management system also includes a path actuator which is initiated by the control procedures for regulating the equipment resources, based on the validated path specification, to coordinate the sequence of the equipment resource operations for the selected path specification.
