Phase Template: cip-conductivity-check

Measure residual conductivity and evaluate against an acceptance limit. Used at the end of a CIP rinse cycle to verify that detergent residues have been rinsed out. The phase always completes. It records a PASSED or FAILED operator message and advances regardless of the result. Acting on a failure (re-rinsing, holding for operator review) is a decision for the operation level or the operator. This phase decides nothing.

Parameters

Parameter Type Unit Range Default Required
conductivity_limit REAL µS/cm 1.0-100.0 15.0 yes

The template also declares one output: measured_conductivity (REAL, µS/cm). It is the conductivity PV captured at measurement time, so the batch production record can show the acceptance limit alongside the measured value.

Required control modules

Role Module type Description

Used in

This is a building block, called by the cip-conductivity-rinse-op operation template at the end of each rinse pass.

Failure modes

This is a PV-endpoint phase. See Phases → PV-endpoint phase for the full archetype.

Pairs with a TagHigh alarm on absolute conductivity. Set a timeoutSeconds on the phase as a backstop.
