Page 31: Product Introduction And Installation
Possible applications of SIMATIC BATCH SIMATIC BATCH is suitable for batch processes of any complexity. It provides simple support for batch applications ranging from small to extremely large. The outstanding features of SIMATIC BATCH are as follows: ●...
Page 32: Functions Of Simatic Batch
BATCH interface blocks Introduction SIMATIC BATCH uses the new functionality of the SFC types in the engineering system to define operation and phase types. As an alternative, SIMATIC BATCH continues to provide special interface blocks as the communications interface to the processing programs on the automation system.
Page 33 Product introduction and installation 3.3 Components of SIMATIC BATCH Functions Using the BATCH interface blocks along with SIMATIC BATCH, makes the following functions available: ● Controlling the running of the process: The IEPH/IEOP blocks are used for this purpose. These provide the commands (for example start or hold) of the recipe control steps from the batch control to the processing blocks (for example: SFC_CTL or user blocks).
Page 34: Batch Configuration Dialog
Software components in the SIMATIC Manager The BATCH configuration dialog is opened in the SIMATIC Manager using the Options > SIMATIC BATCH menu. As an alternative, you can also open it using the "SIMATIC BATCH" shortcut menu of any object in the SIMATIC Manager.
Page 35: Batch Launch Coordinator
Starting the BatchCC The BATCH Launch Coordinator creates the preconditions for starting BatchCC. BatchCC cannot be connected to the database of the loaded batch process cell until SIMATIC BATCH displays the status "running". BatchCC will display a corresponding information dialog on startup until SIMATIC BATCH is ready.
Page 36: Batch Control Server
3.3.4 BATCH control server Definition The BATCH Control Server is a component of SIMATIC BATCH. The BATCH Control Server handles communication with the process and controls and monitors execution of the current batches. The BATCH Control Server does not have its own user interface. The BATCH Control Server is started using the Launch Coordinator on the BATCH server or, in a redundant system, on both BATCH servers.
Page 37: Batch Cdv
Generating the batch report After a batch is started, the batch data is saved in the online data storage of SIMATIC BATCH. In order to display and/or print out batch data, a print preview window and the batch report are available.
Page 38: Batch Control Center (Batchcc)
Batch Control Center (BatchCC) Definition The BATCH Control Center (BatchCC) is the central component in SIMATIC BATCH for batch planning and batch control. The BATCH Control Center manages all the data relevant to SIMATIC BATCH. This means all BatchCC data can also be displayed in reports.
Page 39 Product introduction and installation 3.3 Components of SIMATIC BATCH Functions With the BATCH Control Center, you can do the following: ● Read in the process cell data from the basic control ● Specify the user permissions for all functions of BATCH ●...
Page 40: Batch Recipe Editor
BATCH Recipe Editor Definition The BATCH Recipe Editor (RE) is part of SIMATIC BATCH and provides you with a graphical user interface for creating and modifying master recipes and library operations. Recipe creation is based on the BATCH objects from the BATCH process cell configuration in the engineering system (ES) of SIMATIC PCS 7, for example, by ISA-88 type definition of the process cell, units and equipment modules.
Page 41: Assembling Batch Data In Reports
BATCH OS controls OLE custom controls (OCX) for SIMATIC BATCH We provide you with SIMATIC BATCH OS controls for operating and monitoring batch processes on a PCS 7 OS client. In a template screen that is available after installing SIMATIC BATCH, you will find all the BATCH OS controls for operator control and monitoring of a Batch process cell.
Page 42: Operating Modes In Simatic Batch
Which functions are not supported in the AS-based operating mode? ● Flat recipes are not available. ● The "online structure changes (OSC)" from SIMATIC BATCH version 7.1 SP1 with which structure changes could be made to the recipe logic during the running of a batch is not possible in AS-based mode.

Page 54: Redundancy
To increase the availability of the batch control and to allow a software update during operation, SIMATIC BATCH provides the option of installing a redundant BATCH server. If there is a failure in the redundant system, there is a standby/master failover between the redundant BATCH servers.
Page 55: Example Configuration - Fault-Tolerant Batch Control
The redundancy of the PCS 7 operator stations ensures that the batch processes will continue uninterrupted even if one of the two OS servers fails. The operator remains informed about the status of the process cell and can still intervene in the process. SIMATIC BATCH V8.2 Operating Manual, 02/2016, A5E35958174-AA...
Page 56: Behavior In Runtime
BATCH server. ● Failure of a BATCH server application, e.g. BATCH Control Server, batch data management (CDV), SIMATIC BATCH Server (SBS). Failover of the BATCH clients If the BATCH server (master) fails, the BATCH clients automatically fail over to the standby BATCH server.
Page 57: Data Replication
● An interruption of the replication connection (extra network adapter in both redundant SIMATIC BATCH server PCs with network cable) affects the communication between the AS and the BATCH server. The communication is blocked for approximately 20 s. This means that the process (batch) continues running but its visualization in the BATCH Control Center or in the BATCH OS controls is updated after a delay of up to 20 s.
Page 58 ● The additional network adapters must be installed in your PCs (redundant BATCH server pair) in free PCI slots. ● Make sure that you read the information in the relevant SIMATIC PCS 7 documents, PCS 7 - PC Configuration and Authorization . especially the document SIMATIC BATCH V8.2 Operating Manual, 02/2016, A5E35958174-AA...
Page 59 Check that a log is not selected in the adapter settings for the plant bus (file and print sharing). 6. Repeat steps 1-5 for the redundancy partner. Result You have now configured the required communication for the redundancy partners and can no perform database replication for SIMATIC BATCH.

Page 65 – SIMATIC BATCH V6.1 SP3 HF18 ● Requirements for configuration: – Automatic hot restart and isolation of the SIMATIC BATCH server are only supported in a redundant configuration. – All the mechanisms are available for the following redundant environments: Redundant WinCC server, redundant BATCH server, redundant Process Historian, redundant maintenance server and redundant Route Control server.
Page 66: Failure Behavior Of The Batch Server In As-Based Mode
BATCH server. The situation still remains that if there is a sudden failure of the SIMATIC BATCH standby PC (hardware defect, power failure, network connection to the database broken down), the BATCH server can no longer store the AS frames in the database of the standby PC (redundant storage for data backup/replication).
Page 67 For example, batches with a short duration (minutes up to a few hours) with large numbers of setpoints put significantly more load on a SIMATIC BATCH server (PC-based operation) or an automation system (AS-based operation) than batches with few setpoints and a duration of several days.

Page 83: Authorizations
See the table below for SIMATIC BATCH client authorizations. In ALM, you can configure which PC in the network should be searched for licenses. SIMATIC BATCH server authorizations must be located on the SIMATIC BATCH server concerned, as the employed SIMATIC BATCH software will search for them there.
Page 84 If you require a larger number of units due the requirements of your project, you will need to use ALM to transfer a new, extended authorization from the authorization data medium to the relevant PC. Licenses for units for SIMATIC BATCH are derived from the number of "UNIT_PLC" unit blocks used.
Page 85 Example: With a BATCH 10 UNITs and a BATCH 50 UNITs, you can operate a BATCH process cell with 60 units. SB client products: The SIMATIC BATCH client authorizations are searched for both locally on a specified PC and on a PC specified in the network. The method of searching for authorizations in the network must be configured in the Automation License Manager.

Page 139: Extending The Plant Hierarchy By Adding Neutral Folders
Extending the plant hierarchy by adding neutral folders Neutral folders As already mentioned, the three-stage hierarchy for SIMATIC BATCH can be extended by adding neutral folders to improve the structuring of the project, for example to divide units into groups. The neutral folders can be created at any level. The total number of possible levels (batch hierarchy levels, levels with neutral folders) is limited to eight.

Page 143: Creating An Equipment Module
Introduction Interface to unit and to equipment module In SIMATIC BATCH, each unit and each recipe phase of a control recipe communicates at runtime with a unit and an equipment module in the automation system. Both setpoints and process values as well as the current status or control commands are exchanged. An equipment module may be an equipment phase (EPH) or an equipment operation (EOP).
Page 144 The status may be lost in the BATCH control server if this condition is violated. Setpoints Setpoints are updated by the recipe control of SIMATIC BATCH to influence the equipment module. Control strategies Different and (in terms of the same run) mutually exclusive equipment phases/operations of the same equipment module are known as control strategies of this equipment module.
Page 145 ● MemIDB64 The BATCH configuration dialog searches the S7 project for the block names listed above in order to be able to make internal project settings. If the names are changed, SIMATIC BATCH cannot be configured correctly. In CFC charts, only blocks from the "BATCH" block family in the SIMATIC BATCH library may be used and, therefore, imported.
Page 146: Optimum Installation Of The Blocks For As-Based Mode
The "UNIT_NAME" input cannot be modified in the block. Every recipe operation (ROP), equipment phase (EPH) or transition in the assigned unit is checked by this block and the specifications for further processing steps are defined. SIMATIC BATCH V8.2 Operating Manual, 02/2016, A5E35958174-AA...

Page 149: Non-Self-Terminating Equipment Phase
The end of the RUN sequence is only reported (Ready_TC) so that this equipment phase can be completed by an external command. This command can given either by the operator using the "Close" in the SFC faceplate or by SIMATIC BATCH with the "Close" command.
Page 150 RUN sequence ends and the equipment phase reports that it has completed. The "COMPLETING" step can only be started by external command from the operator or from SIMATIC BATCH. As long as no external complete command has been issued, the equipment phase remains in the RUN sequence (RUN status), which means that the RUN sequence is started once again.

This is the case prior to starting, when there is a change of control strategy or after parameter changes when a phase is active. This gives the equipment phase the opportunity of checking the setpoints and preventing the start with the start lock. SIMATIC BATCH V8.2 Operating Manual, 02/2016, A5E35958174-AA...
Page 399 To achieve faster step change times, the startup characteristics of the SFC types have been optimized as of SIMATIC BATCH V6.1. Regardless of any start lock, SIMATIC BATCH always writes the allocations, the setpoints, the IPARAM and the start command in a write job to the block. The SFC type checks the setpoint values for useability and executes the start/rejects the start.
