Tip: If software component conversation becomes
LOST
while running in Demo mode, make
sure that the simulator is running and try starting the server(s) again. For more information,
see Start the FactoryTalk Batch phase simulator.
The following methods are available for restarting the FactoryTalk Batch
Server after a service halt:
Cold Boot Restarts the FactoryTalk Batch Server in a cold state. All journal data or recipe
content is erased upon startup. If Security Authority is enabled, SAIs in a
secured area model and any secured recipes must match the current Network
FactoryTalk Directory SAI.
Warm Boot
Restarts the FactoryTalk Batch Server, restoring the set of batches that were
on the batch list when the FactoryTalk Batch Server previously terminated. No
validation for Security Authority is performed.
Warm All Boot Restarts the FactoryTalk Batch Server only if it is able to restore all of the
batches to the batch list. No validation for Security Authority is performed.
FactoryTalk Batch comes with a phase logic simulation program, referred to
as the FactoryTalk Batch Phase Simulator used to simulate the batch process
without connecting to a PCD. The Phase Simulator imitates the functionality
of a data server and can communicate with the FactoryTalk Batch Server
using OPC communication protocol. The Phase Simulator is a powerful tool
for testing, experimentation and demonstration purposes. In this guide, run
the sample demonstration using the Phase Simulator.
Tip: If the Phase Simulator is required and OPC protocol is used for communications, the
FactoryTalk Batch Server
automatically starts the Phase Simulator. Check the Windows taskbar to
see if the Phase Simulator is started.
To run the sample demonstration correctly, open the ice_cream1.sim file in
the Phase Simulator.
