Batch8-10 SIMATIC PCS 7 OSx 4.1.2 Operator
8.7 Changing Batch State
The batch tag detail enables the operator to monitor a batch. An operator
with the correct security privilege can issue commands to a batch or unit.
To change the operational state of a batch and its assigned units, select the
State field. OSx displays a command form that lists the batch state options
(Figure 8-8). The selected command is also propagated to the units assigned
to the batch.
After creating an active batch, follow these steps to start the batch.
1. Access the batch tag detail. Refer to Section 8.4.
2. Select the
Start option from the State field on the Batch Tag Detail. The
system sends the Start command to the batch and propagates it to the
units assigned to the batch.
The Start option sends the
Start command to all units currently assigned to
the batch. Other functions built into the batch program by the plant
engineer can cause other processes to occur when the operator selects the
Start option.
NOTE: At least one unit must be assigned to the batch before starting it.
Refer to Section 8.5 for instructions on assigning units to a batch.
