7.1.3.5 "Process cell" hierarchy folder
Introduction
Below the project, you create the SIMATIC BATCH hierarchy folder of the object type "Process
cell". You select the object type in the properties of the hierarchy folder in the "S88 type
definition" tab. A hierarchy folder that was type defined as process cell has the following icon
in the plant view in the SIMATIC Manager:
Definition of a process cell
A process cell is a logical group of facilities/devices (containers, actuators, sensors, etc.) for
creating one or more batches. The process cell determines the spectrum of logical control
options for a set of process equipment within a plant area.
Rules for the "Process cell" hierarchy folder
● Within a project, only one "Process cell" hierarchy folder can be created. Examples of this
might be a polymerization plant, dyehouse, multipurpose plant.
● When creating a master recipe in SIMATIC BATCH, the data of this process cell are made
available. This means that all the units and equipment phases required in a master recipe
must be created below the process cell folder.
Multiproject
Each project of a multiproject contains the same "Process cell" object. Below this, you can
configure different units in the individual projects.
7.1.3.6 "Unit" hierarchy folder
Introduction
Below the process cell, you create the hierarchy folder with the object type "Unit".
● If the unit folder is created directly below the process cell folder, the "Unit" object type is
assigned automatically by the system when you create it.
● If the unit folder is not created directly below the process cell folder but is inserted below a
neutral folder, the inserted folder is automatically assumed to be a neutral folder. You can
then set the "Unit" object type afterwards in the properties of the hierarchy folder in the "S88
type definition" tab.
A hierarchy folder that was type defined as unit has the following icon in the plant view in the
SIMATIC Manager:
