Phase Template: cip-fill

Open a CIP inlet valve, fill the vessel to a target level, and close the valve. A building block for the generic CIP operation templates used by cip-vessel-cleaning.

The phase takes valve_cmd and valve_fb as string parameters so the same phase can drive either the WFI valve or the chemical solution inlet valve, depending on which CIP step is running.

Used in

This is a building block, referenced by the CIP operation templates cip-rinse-op, cip-hot-wash-op, and cip-conductivity-rinse-op inside the cip-vessel-cleaning unit procedure.

Failure modes

This is a Level-guard phase. See Phases → Level-guard phase for the full archetype.

Pairs with a hardware-limit alarm on the level sensor and a timeoutSeconds set to 2× nominal fill time. Set a timeoutSeconds on the phase as a backstop.
