Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual page 1135

Pause after step
A batch (control recipe execution) is paused, all active steps continue until they are completed,
no new steps are started. In contrast to the "Hold immediately" command, this command simply
prevents the control recipe from passing control to the next step.
Plant hierarchy
The plant hierarchy consists of hierarchy folders that in turn can contain further hierarchy
folders, such as CFC/SFC charts, pictures, reports and additional documentation. It represents
the functional structured hierarchy of the process cell regardless of the assignment of
programmable controllers or operator control and monitoring systems. This is displayed in the
Plant view of the SIMATIC Manager.
Procedural control
A control that controls equipment-oriented actions in an ordered fashion to allow execution of
a process-oriented task.
Procedure
The strategy according to which a process is executed. This can refer to the production of a
batch or to a non-production process, such as a cleaning operation.
Procedure element
A block for procedural control defined by the model of the procedural control.
Process
A sequence of chemical, physical, or biological activities for the conversion, transportation, or
storage of material or energy.
Defined in DIN 28004: A sequence of chemical, physical, or biological activities for the
conversion, transport, or storage of material or energy.
In everyday language a process is a method of achieving a target. In industry a process is
used along with chemical, physical and biological knowledge and methods to obtain, produce,
convert or eliminate materials. Example: Synthesis of ammoniac according to Haber and
Bosch.
