"System characteristics" tab

Dialog box
The system characteristics of the batch process cell is displayed in this dialog. The dialog is
organized in the following areas:
● Startup characteristics with time information
● Runtime characteristics with time information for monitoring and a setting for units
● Disable batch data management and set the message language
● Downloading a batch process cell without compiling and downloading the basic
configuration
Times
The entered times indicate when a time-out should be reported for the BATCH Server
applications when booting or ending. Since these times depend on certain supplementary
conditions, e.g. size of the batch process cell (Pcell), computer power, etc., they should not
be selected too small.
Default: Startup 300 s and exit 90 s.
Monitoring times
SIMATIC BATCH offers you the possibility of monitoring the communication capability of the
BATCH server on a project-specific basis from the participating automation systems.
Monitoring is performed by the "UNIT_PLC" unit block, which can be allocated by SIMATIC
BATCH. The BATCH server sets the LIFE input of the allocated "UNIT_PLC" blocks cyclically
at approximately one third of the configured monitoring time. If this sign of life does not arrive
within the monitoring time, the "UNIT_PLC" block sets the output "AS_OS_ERR" to 0. If the
sign of life is sent again, the "AS_OS_ERR" output is reset to 1. This allows you to react to the
missing communication link to the BATCH server in the automation system. The monitoring is
