Abort (emergency) (Control menu)

The "Abort (emergency)" command can be used to abort a batch when no AS connection is
available.
The "Abort (emergency)" command can be used when the following rules are observed:
● This command is only active and visible when the user currently logged on has a role with
super user status. Note: The "super user" status has nothing to do with the name of the
role. The role must have super user status, which is indicated by a yellow outline around
the icon.
● If the "Abort (emergency)" command is used when a connection to the AS is available
command has the same effect as the normal "Abort" command. In other words, the batch
is only actually in "aborted" status when the statuses of the blocks of the AS have been
reported back as such.
There is no guarantee, therefore, that executing this command will result in a quicker
abortion (when an AS connection is available).
● If the Abort (emergency) command is used when no connection to the AS is available, the
status of the batch and the active elements are aborted regardless of the block states. The
user is responsible for manually bringing the blocks in the AS to a non-critical state. Even
if the connection to the AS has been re-established, these SIMATIC BATCH blocks must
be reset before they can be used again.
● For safety, a prompt appears asking the user if he really wants to abort the batch with the
note that no AS connection is available and that the interface blocks of the allocated unit
may need to be released manually.
● The Abort (emergency) command is not offered by the SIMATIC BATCH API.
● BatchCC has no information as to whether or not there is a connection between the BATCH
client and AS. This command is therefore always available, even when the connection
between the BATCH client and AS is intact.
Note
For additional safety, batches are only actually aborted once the "Abort (emergency)"
command has been used three times.
The first command attempts a normal "Abort", the second command attempts to release
the recipe phases and units, and the third command places the batch in "Aborted" status
in any case, even if recipe phases are still active and/or allocated.

Close (Control menu)

You can close a completed, stopped or aborted batch in the BatchCC. This is necessary before
you can use the "Archive" command.
