● No "Transfer parameters" tab in the properties dialog for recipe engineering. This means
the connection to SIMATIC Route Control cannot be configured or used.
● No release of recipes that contain command steps or monitoring objects. A list of errors
preventing release is displayed for the plausibility check and and attention is drawn to
insufficient licenses.
● No OSC. This means recipe structures cannot be changed in runtime.
● No electronic signatures (ESIG). This means that electronic signatures cannot be
configured in the recipe engineering or subsequently used in batches.
● The use of the following extended recipe structure elements (extended SFC structures) is
not possible:
– Insertion of library references
– Insertion of command steps
– Insertion of monitoring
Display of the reduced range of functions in the user interfaces
If you authorize SIMATIC BATCH Basic, the functions described above are either not displayed
in the interface menus and dialogs, or they are grayed out. In both cases, the functions are
not available.
Handling of structural elements from recipes through restore and import
Recipes that you obtain through import or restore in BatchCC are subjected to a plausibility
check. If these recipes contain elements such as "Monitoring", "Command step" or "Library
reference", the plausibility test will fail because the contained recipe elements are not
authorized. Save these recipes with a new name, remove the objects preventing release, and
release the recipe once again.
