Result:
The inserted "BATCH application (stby)" object appears in the Component view below the
SIMATIC PC station.
3.5.5.6 Information on network connections
Requirements:
The following are requirements for network adapter, serial connection and redundancy
connection:
● A redundant BATCH server must have a second network connection independent of the
terminal bus and plant bus. This is used for BATCH data replication.
● The serial connection (COM interface) may no longer be used in conjunction with SIMATIC
BATCH. It must be removed from "old systems".
● In principle, the redundant connection between both BATCH servers can be produced using
a crossed network cable (cross over cable) or a switch.
3.5.5.7 Configuring network connections
Introduction
Network configuration of a redundant batch system is not dependent on the project. There is
therefore no need for configuration of batch redundancy in batch engineering, as was
previously undertaken in the project settings in the BATCH configuration dialog.
Procedure
1. Network configuration for the redundant BATCH server is undertaken via the "Simatic Shell"
folder in Windows Explorer. You will find more information in the online help for SIMATIC
BATCH in the Redundancy > Data replication section.
2. If you are installing BATCH and WinCC servers on a PC, ensure that you use the following
settings in the "Redundancy" WinCC Editor:
– Connection to redundant partner via serial interface: Select "none".
– Connection to redundant partner via network adapter (MAC address): Select the network
adapter you used for data replication and close the dialog using the "OK" button.
