14.1.11.27 Batch types in a library or within a project
Dialog box
In this dialog box, you can configure batch types that can be inserted in concrete Batch process
cells later.
● Batch types
– Data types: The system specifies the standard data types, output material, Boolean,
input material, floating point number, integer and string. User data types are created,
deleted and edited in the "Shared declarations" folder in the Component view of the
SIMATIC Manager.
– Units of measure: By selecting the "Units of measure" folder, you can create new units
of measure; by selecting an existing unit of measure, you can change its properties.
– Operation types, phase types and process tag types: By selecting the relevant folder,
you can create new operation types, phase types and process tag types. You can
change properties by selecting one of the existing objects. The order of the type
parameters can be changed in the process cell tree using drag-and-drop. If you use the
SFC types of the EOP/EPH variant, the batch types are only read in and displayed in
this dialog box (read only). Any modifications must be made in the SFC chart.
– Equipment properties: By selecting the "Equipment properties" folder, you can create
new equipment properties (unit parameters); by selecting an existing unit parameter,
you can change its properties.
For project data created with SIMATIC BATCH < V6.1, the unit class is displayed here
as an equipment property with the "Unit classes" user data type. This user data type
has all existing unit classes as values. Under "Batch types", each unit is assigned the
"Unit class" equipment property with the value they previously had as a unit class (a
reactor, for example).
Edit
The batch types can be edited.
