Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual page 1137

Production request
Contains the specified production order data to produce a certain quantity of a product with a
certain required quality at a certain time.
Project
A container for all objects of an automation solution regardless of the number of stations,
modules and how they are networked.
Recipe
The required amount of information necessary to define the production requirements for a
specific product. A recipe is a set of rules and information required to define how a product is
manufactured. There are the following recipes: general recipe, site recipe, master recipe and
control recipe.
In SIMATIC BATCH, the following recipe types are used:
● Master recipe
● Control recipe
Recipe control strategy
In a recipe control strategy, the sequence of production steps for making a product can vary
from one batch to the next.
The essential aspect of a genuine recipe control strategy is that new recipes can be specified
and executed ...
● by the chemist or process technician (not a programmer or control system specialist)
● using a user interface adapted to his/her needs (not using the programming/configuration
user interface of the control system)
● without interventions in the software structure of the control system (in other words, without
the risk of changing interlocks or validated structures)
● during operation (without reloading/restarting) of the control system
... specify and execute new production processes (= recipes). Such changes, nevertheless,
mean changes in the sequences of the process steps and not simply changes to parameter
values.
Recipe header
Information on the purpose, the source and the version of the recipe, for example recipe and
product identification, author and output date.
Recipe operation
An operation that is part of a recipe procedure in a master or control recipe. Depending on the
recipe type, this becomes the master recipe operation or the control recipe operation.
