Configurable CIP

This CIP Process Screen provides a graphical overview of the CIP system, showing tanks, routes, and key operating conditions at a glance. It is designed for system monitoring, with the primary control functions performed from the main CIP control screen. Cybertrol’s configurable CIP framework supports a wide range of system designs, from simple single-tank layouts to complex multi-tank, multi-route configurations.

This CIP Control Screen lets the operator select and run a wash program while viewing key details about the active recipe, current step, recent steps, and upcoming steps. Operators can start, stop, reset, hold, or advance the wash, review circuit and process information, and enter comments at any point during the cycle. These comments are captured in the wash report and can be used to document exceptions or testing results. The screen also provides access to recipe creation and editing directly from the HMI.

This Recipe Editor Step screen shows how CIP wash programs are built by selecting and arranging phases for each step. Users can insert, delete, or copy steps, or duplicate entire recipes to create new variants for different wash types. Each phase includes its own process setpoints and operational parameters, all editable with proper security access to optimize the wash for each circuit. 

This Recipe Editor Step Data screen shows how configurable CIP supports acknowledgement phases within a wash program. Recipe creators can add steps that pause the sequence, display custom instructions, and require operator or QA acknowledgement before advancing. These phases help reinforce standard procedures and clearly separate operator tasks from QA actions during the wash process.

Cybertrol’s configurable CIP Pulse Step screen lets users build, adjust, and observe valve pulsing across circuits and sub-circuits, even in large valve clusters. Sanitarians and maintenance can fine-tune pulse timing at the HMI to diagnose valve hammer and temporarily correct failing valves without changing the processor program, then quickly restore setpoints after maintenance.

Configurable CIP includes a permissives and interlocks screen that helps operators, supervisors, and maintenance quickly identify conditions preventing a wash program from starting.

This example shows a CIP schedule overview screen that tracks the last wash, sets future wash intervals, and provides warnings when a wash is coming due. Users can review and edit wash schedules directly from the HMI, with separate tracking for full washes and caustic-only cycles.

This example shows a Circuit Edit page where each of the 30 supported circuits can be tuned for performance and efficiency. Parameters such as return temperature delta, stable time, circulation timer, volume presets, pump speeds, conductivity delta, burst rinse timing, and valve pulsing sequences can all be adjusted directly from the HMI.
