Importing Remote Process Cells - Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual

Consistency of projects
Note
As the user, you yourself are responsible for the consistency of the projects within a
multiproject. This applies especially to the shared declarations and the SFC types.
Project languages
Note
All projects in multiprojects must be configured in the same language. If a project is removed
and then configured in another language, SIMATIC BATCH will not be able to compile it
correctly when the project is reinserted. The reason for this is the lingually differing display
names for the parameters of enumerations.
Multiproject projects
Note
Never use configurations in which several PC stations are set up on the same PC in projects
within a multiproject. It is better to configure one PC station with several applications (e.g one
OS and one BATCH server).

Importing remote process cells

Introduction
To enable material transport through several process cells with a batch with SIMATIC Route
Control, you can import remote process cells into the local S7 project in addition to the local
process cells. The required functionality for this step is provided in the SIMATIC Manager.
Imported remote process cells contain the complete plant hierarchy and the information about
the types and instances of the locations for the corresponding hierarchy folders.
Requirements
● You can only import remote process cells within a multiproject.
● Locations need to be configured in the S7 project.
● The multiproject must be opened in the SIMATIC Manager.
