Requirements for batch processing

Requirements
Batch control with SIMATIC BATCH requires the PCS 7 OS (WinCC) system. Before a batch
can be processed, the following requirements must be met:
● The PCS 7 OS system must be operating in runtime mode (online).
● The SFC type instances or BATCH interface blocks must be known to the PCS 7 OS data
manager.
● The bus connection between the PCS 7 operator stations (OS) and the automation systems
(AS) must be active.
● The batches for the control recipes must have been generated already; in other words, the
batches have the "Released" status.
● The operator has the necessary permissions for batch control in the user management of
SIMATIC BATCH.
