● Valid only for recipe unit procedures (RUPs) executed in AS-based mode: Character strings
containing more than 32 characters are truncated. Example: STRING values within
transition conditions. At the start of the batch, a recipe conversion takes place in which
character strings exceeding 32 characters are truncated.
● Number formats: When numbers are entered, displayed, and used further within SIMATIC
BATCH, a comma is converted to a period. This means that a period is used as the decimal
separator. A thousand separator is not used or displayed.
● In batch logs, process values are always output for the configured control strategy in the
master recipe. If there is a control strategy discrepancy between SIMATIC BATCH and the
function or operation type (EPH/EOP), the process values for the parameters are not fully
logged.
Impermissible characters
The following characters are not permitted when assigning names in SIMATIC Manager: " / \
[ ] : | < > + ; , ? " * = . ! @ { } space
The names "EPH", "EOP", "UNIT", and "UNIT_PLC" are key words. Please do not use these
names for name assignment of an SFC type in SIMATIC Manager. In addition, the following
characters are not permitted when assigning names (name of the control strategy): Special
characters except underscore and space
When the name of the control strategy is changed, for example, from "CONTSTRAT1" to
"contstrat1" in the characteristics dialog for SFC types, this change to the control strategy name
is not applied after the generation of the batch types.
The following characters are not permitted when assigning names of WinCC projects: , ; : ! ?
" ' + = / \ @ * % [ ] { } < > space
The following characters are not permitted in AS/OS connection names: : ? " ' \ * % space
The following characters are not permitted when assigning names of hierarchy folders: " ' / \
%
The following characters are not permitted in global declarations (enumerations): space " % .

Note
Also note the extensive information in the online help of PCS 7 OS (WinCC Information
System). Search there for "impermissible characters". We recommend that you never use
special characters when configuring in the SIMATIC Manager. The only exception is the special
character [ _ ] (underscore).
