Glossary
Equipment module
A functional grouping of equipment that can execute a limited number of specific smaller
processing activities.
Equipment phase
The smallest element of a procedural control that can execute a process-oriented task.
Formula
Material and production data: components of the recipe, which contains the following recipe
information:
● Process inputs (resources for manufacture of products)
● Process outputs (expected results)
● Process parameters (global recipe parameters)
Formula category
A formula category can be assigned a class of formulas with the same raw material and
production data structure. The only differences between the formulas of a formula category
are the concrete parameter values.
The formula category contains the parameters that can be controlled by the operator during
batch planning with SIMATIC BATCH using the formula. These parameters are included in the
formula category with their data type and unit of measure.
General recipe
Recipe type describing processing requirements independent of equipment and location.
Hierarchy folder
The hierarchy folder is used to achieve hierarchical structuring of a process cell (of a project).
It can contain further hierarchy folders or objects such as CFC/SFC charts, pictures, reports
and additional documentation.
Hold immediately
The batch (control recipe execution) is held and all active steps are also held.
Input material
Raw material or other resource required to manufacture a product.
The name and quantity of a raw material or other resource required to manufacture a product.
