Rational engineering
8.5 Distributed multiproject engineering
Possible configurations in the central multiproject
All configurations that result in changes or additions to the master data library must be
performed in the CMP.
● Shared declarations:
– Units of measure
– Equipment properties in the shared declarations
– Enumerations in the shared declarations
● Create and test SFC types (typicals)
Typicals are phase types, for example, heating, cooling, dosing, etc. When these phase
types are created, they are thoroughly tested so they can be later duplicated as instances.
Any subsequent changes implies an enormous amount of work, because the duplicate type
instances may already be in use and all instances may have to be inserted again.
● Create models
● Create and test custom blocks
● Create and test models
● Create and test units
● Test individual units
Possible configurations in the distributed multiproject
● CFC charts
● WinCC process pictures
● Import, create, change and export recipes
What can be tested in the DMP?
● Recipes, batch sequences
● Process pictures
Up to which point in time can DMPE be performed?
The point in time at which the commissioning phase for DMPE with SIMATIC BATCH is
completed, depends on your own decision for the most part.
Note
You determine the point in time at which any reconfigured data can lead to inconsistencies in
the Batch database when you perform the "Update process cell" function. The procedures
described here must stop at the latest at the point when data consistency must be guaranteed
in the Batch database.
In general, this is the point at which the acceptance test with parameter fine adjustment is
closed or, at the latest, the start of production.
