Page 114 Recipe creation 4.4.2 Configuring recipes Creating the recept You are now in the planning phase: in other words, you are designing a topology recipe. The entire topology of the recipe is prepared using the recipe editor. Starting with the starting layout (see Figure 4-11), you can now add all of the elements.
Page 115 Recipe creation Operations with The operations described below are supported: the SFC elements 1. Creating an element: You can interactively create practically any element. The only exceptions here are the start and end symbols and the transition dummy situated between them. Newly created elements can be inserted directly into the existing recipe topology with the help of the tool bar.
Page 116 Recipe creation Step (AF) A step consists of a single automation function (AF): Step (AF) Figure 4-12 Step (AF) What does an An AF represents an interface block with any implementation of the AF imply? processing blocks in the PLC. When they are activated their parameters are written to the interface block (see Technical Data).
Page 117 Recipe creation Transition A transition contains the step enabling conditions for progress from one step (AF) to the next. These can be process- and/or time-dependent conditions as you like. The transition parameters (global variables) which are available originate in a list of process variables drawn up in the TRANS interface blocks during the configuration phase (see Technical Data).
Page 118 Recipe creation Substructure A substructure facilitates an improved overview of the recipe. It contains part of the topology of a recipe and is structured in any way you like. Substructure Figure 4-14 Substructure There are three ways of creating a substructure: 1.
Page 119 Recipe creation Structure elements 1. Sequence: 2. Parallel branch: 3. Alternative branch: 4. Loop: Figure 4-16 Structure elements Batch flexible , Manual 4-23 C79000-G7076-C650-02...
Page 120 Recipe creation 1. Sequence: All SFC structures can be embedded vertically in sequences. They guarantee a temporal sequence of execution for the substructures. Generation A first sequence is generated as a starting diagram in a new recipe while subsequent sequences will always arise as part of parallel or alternative branches.
Page 121 Recipe creation 2. Parallel branch: A parallel branch consists of a branch (upper double line), at least two horizontally arranged automation functions which are activated and processed simultaneously by batch control, and a junction (lower double line): Figure 4-17 Representation of a parallel branch Generation When a parallel branch is generated in an existing structure, two empty sequences are generated which in each case contain an AF dummy.
Page 122 Recipe creation 3. Alternative An alternative branch consists of at least two horizontally arranged sequences branch: but only one of these is processed by batch control, depending on the status of the first transitions in the sequences. Note You should configure the transitions in the detail masks in such a way that only one branch is guaranteed to be processed.
Page 123 Recipe creation 4. Loop A loop consists of a sequence (at least one AF or substructure) and one feedback branch with a transition which brackets the sequence. Depending on transitions 1 and 2 the contained structure is repeated several times. Only self-contained structures (1 input and 1 output) can be repeated.

Here the recipe editor will automatically insert dummies for transitions and for steps (AF). Insert alternative branch automatically added AF dummy Figure 4-20...
Page 125 Recipe creation Rules of syntax Certain restrictions apply during the creation of the recipe topology and the recipe editor complies with them automatically. The SFC standard stipulates that two transitions and two steps (AF) are not permitted to succeed each other in the operational sequence. Restrictions All of the remaining restrictions derive naturally from the handling or are locked out by means of grayed-out menus.

You can also specify the time when they are displayed. The operator instructions can be displayed at the operator terminals where batch control is running, before or after the AF starts or at the end of the AF.
Page 130 Recipe creation Detailed planning The transition condition is formulated as a boolean expression which can be of transitions made up of a maximum of 10 individual conditions. An individual condition consists of two operands (1st operand = variable, 2nd operand = variable or number) which are linked to each other by a comparator.
Page 131 Recipe creation Inputting operands By double-clicking on the first operand you can call up a window where you can select the apparatus, with the corresponding measuring points being displayed and available for selection.

Page 146 Batch control 5.2.2 Equipment occupancy list General As a basic rule an apparatus can at a given time only be involved in the production of a single batch. BATCH flexible’s batch control manages equipment allocation in on-line operation in such a way that an apparatus (identified by the UNIT block) can only be occupied by one batch.
Page 147 Batch control When the equipment occupancy list is called in batch control, no planned batches will be displayed. A selected batch can be processed in exactly the same way as in the batch planning list (see Chapter 6.3.1). Chaining batches can only be carried out in batch planning.
Page 148 Batch control Batch visualization and operator actions Overview The control recipes of batches can be displayed in a recipe window which basically the same as that of the recipe editor but with a few changes on the menu and tool bars. In addition, the states of steps and transition are color-coded.

Page 152: Switching Modes And Batch Control
Batch control 5.3.1 Switching mode Overview The switching mode of a batch will determine the execution of the control recipe. The settings do not apply to batch control as a whole but always to a specific batch. What does The switching mode determines how the transitions switch during recipe switching mode execution.
Page 153 Batch control SSMTOB In SSMTOB switching mode (which corresponds to SEMIAUTO) the switching mode transition switches when its conditions are satisfiedor when you press the acknowledgement button. The acknowledgement button appears immediately the transition becoms active and disappears after an operator action or when the transition conditions are satisfied.

Page 155 Batch control Starting a batch The basic procedure for starting a batch is as follows: 1. Read batch data from the database 2. Open the new window, display recipe (only when the switching mode is not SSMT) 3. Start execution of the control recipe (recipe execution) Batch control now goes into the active state, in which it waits for the following events: The OS signals parameter changes...
Page 156 Batch control Concurrents and During recipe execution, batch control interrogates objects as to their successors topological information in order to decide what should happen next. At this time it receives information about the concurrents and successors of each object. With the aid of this information, batch control can determine whether it is possible to continue with execution of the following object or to wait until the concurrents finish.
Page 157: Status Of The Batches During Execution
Batch control Status displays of The batch status denotes the state of a batch. In the batch status list the only the batches batches which can be activated for control are those which have the status released. A charge is started either automatically from the waiting state once the first apparatus(es) has or have become free, or manually by operator action.
Page 158: Occupancy Mechanisms
Batch control 5.3.3 Equipment allocation procedure Overview During batch execution it is guaranteed that only a single batch uses an apparatus at any one time. To this end, batch control checks equipment allocations every time a batch starts and finishes and every time every AF in the control recipe starts and finishes: Equipment A batch cannot therefore be started unless the apparatuses the batch requires...
Page 159 Batch control 5.3.4 Online changes Overview Batch control makes it possible for changes to be made in the control recipe even when the batch is running. This is referred to below as making changes on-line. Requirements If you wish to carry out on-line changes, you will need to pause execution of the control recipe and switch into change mode (see Page 5-13).
Page 160 Batch control 5.3.5 Exception handling Exception Exception handling is necessary in these cases: handling 1. Following an uncontrolled shutdown of batch control (a crash or similar) 2. Following a crash or cessation of functioning in the environment in which batch control is running (OS data manager, Windows, OS client computer) 3.
Page 161 Batch control Temporary Problems can also occur while batch control is running which, although they problems do not block the control system themselves, can still prevent one or more batches from executing: 1. Read or write access to data (database, OS DM, etc.) is refused 2.

Page 164 Batch control 5.4.1 Interface with the OS data manager Client/server A check is made when batch control starts as to whether instances of batch concept control are already running on other computers. If this is not the case, the starting application will be a server. If a connection with WinCC cannot be set up, a message will be displayed and once it has been acknowledged, batch control is shut down again.
Page 165 Batch control Client request for All requests for user inputs will be sent by the clients to the server which user input (2) carries them out and a message will be returned to all clients which visualize this change. The server always retains control. Opening When a transition is opened for visualization this is reported to the server.

Page 169 Batch planning Overview This chapter deals with Batch Planning (this is an optional BATCH flexible application). Batch planning is concerned with batches which are to be planned directly or batches which depend on a production order and which use an apparatus recipe to realize a concrete batch quantity. A description is also provided of batch planning’s user interface.
Page 170 Batch planning Requirements Requirements for using batch planning are: A basic knowledge of working with the BATCH flexible-Object Manager (see Chapter 3) is necessary. General familiarity with recipe creation and batch control under BATCH flexible will be an advantage (see Chapters 4 or 5). To create new batches you will need some recipes which have already been created and released (see Chapter 4).
Page 171 Batch planning Tasks of batch planning What does batch The batch planning application is an optional BATCH flexible software planning do? package. Within this application you can create and modify batches and production orders as objects, and define the resources and the time sequence in which batches run.
Page 172 Batch planning You can use batch control to release planned batches for processing and, when necessary, blocking and then modifying them. You can block and cancel released batches provided they have not yet been started by batch control. You can modify the starting mode and starting time of blocked batches and subsequently release them again.
Page 173 Batch planning Starting the program and the user interface Starting from BOM You can start batch planning from the user interface of BATCH flexible Object Manager (BOM) by clicking on the ’Batch planning’ icon on the tool bar (for other ways of starting batch planning, see Page 3-9). Starting from You can open batch planning independently of BOM and directly from the Windows...

Here you can also activate or reset filter properties and also update the displayed list. The menu also includes the basic functions associated with the tool bar and status bar.
Page 175 Batch planning Planning batches Planning data To plan a batch you need only specify the following information: Batch designation Recipe: – A recipe can be selected from the general recipe list – To make recipe selection simpler you can first select the product and quality designation Concrete batch quantity You can also add the following as further details:...
Page 176 Batch planning 6.3.1 Batch planning list Use of the In the batch planning list you can plan in batches on a tabular basis, and planning list specify the temporal sequence of the batches in order to so prevent conflicts in equipment occupancy in the production sequence. The batch planning list displays the planned, released, blocked and also the batches which are running (in other words, currently undergoing on-line editing).
Page 177: Batch Status Displays
Batch planning As an alternative to automatic updating, by selecting ’Update’ in the ’View’ menu or by clicking on the ’Update’ icon on the tool bar, you can update the batch planning list once. In other words: The batch selection (see Chapter 6.3.3) is canceled. The statuses of all batches are updated, and finished, aborted and canceled batches are removed from the batch planning list.

Page 182 Batch planning Starting mode In the batch dialog you can specify the starting mode for the batch with ’Automatic’ or with ’Manual’. ’Automatic’ starting mode: After release by batch control the batch is put into the state ’waiting’. Batch control starts this batch automatically as soon as the equipment required at the start of the recipe is free.
Page 183 Batch planning $ variables The $ variables function as dummies in the recipe which permit parameters in the control recipe to be adjusted or changed when a concrete batch is being planned. This means that you can adjust the recipe to temporary (current at the time when the batch executes) external circumstances, such as, for example, product paths, identifiers and so on.

BATCH flexible’s batch control manages equipment allocation in on-line operation in such a way that an apparatus (identified by the UNIT block) can only be occupied by one batch.
Page 196 Batch planning Changing You can undo multiple allocations of equipment by changing the following equipment planning data: occupancy Assign the batch to another apparatus by selecting a different recipe, or alternatively adjust the starting time of the batch. Another way is to adjust the equipment occupancy times in the control recipe.
Page 197 Batch data management Overview This chapter deals with batch data management (this is an optional software package which can be supplied with BATCH flexible). Batch data are, firstly, the setpoint values (recipe parameters) and secondly, the actual values – in other words, the messages and measured values which are collected when the batches are being processed on-line.

Page 215 Project planning with BATCH flexible AF interface block For a description of the block please refer to Appendix A. For every (AF-SSB) automation function as defined by BATCH flexible you will need to instantiate an AF-interface block. The apparatus name is specified as value for the UNITNAME connection. This must correspond to the value of the UNITNAME connection of the UNIT-block.
Page 216 Project planning with BATCH flexible TRANS interface Please refer to Appendix A for a description of the interface block. When block defining transition conditions the BATCH flexible recipe editor only uses the (TRANS-SSB) parameters which are mapped as connections in the TRANS-interface blocks. This means that you will have to instantiate as many TRANS-SSBs as are required to cover the necessary parameters.
Page 217 Project planning with BATCH flexible 9.2.2 Takeover of the configuration data from the ES and additions in BATCH flexible Exporting by ES You can export the configuration data from the ES by using the function (CFC editor) ’Export to batch’ in the ’Tools’. The data are exported to an external ASCII transfer file.
