3.3.1 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. These blocks known as BATCH interface blocks ship with SIMATIC
BATCH as a block library.

Definition
The BATCH interface blocks form the communications interface between SIMATIC BATCH
and the processing programs of the process cell control system in the automation system. The
BATCH interface blocks are implemented as CFC blocks and are inserted in the CFC charts
according to their function and stored in the corresponding hierarchy folders in the plant view
in the SIMATIC Manager.
