Updating the process cell data
Note
If you modify the basic control (CFC/SFC charts, hardware configuration, plant hierarchy etc.),
the process cell data must be updated again and downloaded to the CPU (BATCH server,
BATCH clients) and batch-relevant data must be transferred to the operator stations.
Prior to this, the OS must be compiled and downloaded again.

General information

General documentation on multiproject engineering
An introduction to multiproject engineering with PCS 7 is provided by the manual
Control System PCS 7; Engineering System This documentation is on the "Electronic Manuals,
PCS 7" CD. This is general documentation that describes the configuration of a multiproject
and the interaction between individual S7 projects from a neutral perspective.
You will find further information in the online help in PCS 7 in the topic "What you Should Know
about Multiprojects".
The following information relates to the additional engineering steps involved in configuring
batch processes with the components of SIMATIC BATCH.
Uniqueness of the names
Note
Please note that if you distribute the configuration work on several ES PCs, the project names
and the names of the project objects contained must be unique on all ES PCs. The process
cell name must be identical in all projects.
The name of the Batch projects (multiprojects and projects) may only occur once in the PCS
7 environment.
You must declare required type information, such as units of measure, equipment properties
and enumerations in the shared declarations in the SIMATIC Manager.
