Walk down your physical line. According to TR88, you must break equipment into (CM – simple sensors/motors) and Equipment Modules (EM – logical groups, e.g., a "Filling Head").

TR88.00.02 clarifies the difference between (what the DCS wants) and Status (what the machine reports). For example: isa tr88.00.02

This led to "siloed automation"—where a standalone filling machine could not effectively communicate with the central batch server. was created to harmonize these interpretations. It provides a standardized set of state models specifically for Equipment Modules and Control Modules (the physical machines and actuators), allowing them to map cleanly to the Unit state model.

Map your machine's unique functions to the 17 PackML states. Implement PackTags: For example: This led to "siloed automation"—where a

This lack of uniformity made it incredibly difficult for end-users (manufacturers) to aggregate data. If a factory had ten different packaging lines, they would need ten different drivers or middleware configurations just to determine if a machine was running. ISA-TR88.00.02 provided the dictionary for a common language.

In your PLC (Rockwell, Siemens, or B&R), write a state engine. Do not use random bits. Use an integer or enumerated tag for Current_State .

Share performance data, such as OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and alarm history. 🔄 Standardized State Machine
