5.6.5 How to configure the redundancy connection for BATCH servers on the
engineering station
Introduction
Additional tasks must be performed in the engineering and for setting up the PC stations for
redundant BATCH servers:
● On the engineering station:
Check the default engineering settings in effect
● On each BATCH server:
Set the network adapter for redundancy monitoring
Time needed for ending process mode of a BATCH server
The time needed for ending process mode of a BATCH server depends on the size of the
SIMATIC BATCH configuration. The redundancy partner reports a fault on the BATCH server
after the configured time. This time is set for redundant BATCH servers so that it is slightly
longer than the time the BATCH server needs to normally end process mode in this plant.
Requirements
● The SIMATIC BATCH software package (BATCH Engineering) has been installed in
addition to the PCS 7 software.
● The PCS 7 project is open in SIMATIC Manager.
● The configuration of the server pair for BATCH server in HW Config is completed.
● A network adapter is set up for redundancy monitoring via an Ethernet connection on each
BATCH server.
Checking the configuration settings
1. Select the project in the component view of SIMATIC Manager.
2. Select the menu command Options > SIMATIC BATCH.
The "Plant Data" dialog box opens.
3. Select the project in the tree view.
4. Open the "Distribution" tab. Click "Update". Check the displayed settings.
5. Open the "OS Objects" tab. Click "Update". Check the selected message OS.
6. Open the "System Response" tab. Click "Update".
7. Check the displayed settings in the "Startup response" group.
You can find additional information about this in the manual
Process Control System PCS
7; SIMATIC BATCH
.
8. In the "Times" group, enter the required time in the "End" input box.
