General" Tab (Rop Properties) - Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual

Scaling the run time:
You can use scaling functions (Page 579) to make processes quantity-dependent. Depending
on the specific quantity of the batch, the duration of a step is also corrected via the set scaling
function. The linear and quadratic scaling functions are available by default.
Release unit on completion
After completely running through the recipe phase, the used unit will be released.
Continue:
With this option, a flag can be set for a recipe phase that is not self-terminating so that this
recipe phase is not completed when the "running" state is exited. Thus you can implement a
control strategy change on the fly with two consecutive recipe steps without interrupting the
automation level.
If the "Continue" option is selected, this is also indicated in the recipe phase by three dots that
stand for "Continue".
Note
The flag for the "Continue" option can always be set. However it is the user's responsibility to
determine whether it is possible for this operating mode to take effect.
For this two requirements must be met, which can even be changed during runtime of the
batch:
● I/O SELFCOMP = 0 (for SFC outside view or SFC type instance)
To prevent the equipment phase from completing of its own accord following execution
and, therefore, enable it to continue, this condition must be fulfilled during configuration in
the CFC.
● I/O ENASTART = 1 (with SFC external view or SFC type instance)
If you want to restart the same equipment phase in a second recipe step with modified
setpoints, this condition must be fulfilled in the CFC.
Description of the function:
A text that was entered in the basic engineering for the EPH is displayed.

Phase/Library reference:
You obtain a list box of the phases of the type EOP or EPH stored in basic engineering or a
sequence stored in the library. The selection is restricted to the unit class and approved units
in the RUP.
