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). The processing blocks report their current
statuses back to the batch control.
● Allocating or releasing a unit by a control recipe:
The UNIT_PLC block is used for this purpose.
● You use the TAG_COLL blocks to collect process values to create transition conditions and
for logging measured value sequences in the batch report.
● Transferring setpoints and process values:
The IEPAR blocks are used for this purpose. The batch control writes the recipe parameters
(setpoints) for the processing blocks to these blocks via the IEPH/IEOP blocks. The
processing blocks write the result data (process values) to the IEPAR blocks so that they
can be stored as batch data by the batch control once again using the IEPH/IEOP blocks.
