Multiple Instantiation Of The Same Block Types Within A Unit - Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual

Changes to basic automation
Note
If the basic automation in the ES is modified, for example, if you make changes to CFC/SFC
charts, SFC types, in HW Config, in the plant hierarchy, in AS-OS engineering etc., the BATCH
process cell data must be downloaded again.
Download of new process cell data
Note
When you download the data of another BATCH project, make sure that all BATCH servers
(redundant servers) have been restarted. This is the only way to ensure that all BATCH servers
are connected to the newly loaded project when the new project is selected.
Actions in the SIMATIC Manager
Note
Following the actions "Retrieve", "Save as", "Save as with reorganization" and "Reorganize"
in SIMATIC Manager, you must generate the BATCH types and compile/merge the BATCH
instances in the BATCH configuration dialog prior to distributing the batch data.
7.3.13

Multiple instantiation of the same block types within a unit

Introduction
As of SIMATIC BATCH version 8.1, multiple instances of the same SFC type can be addressed
within a unit. To distinguish between multiple block instances of an SFC type within a unit, the
block instance names must be different.
Up until SB version V8.1, configurations with more than one instance for a function or operation
type within one unit were rejected with a plausibility error during compilation or merging of the
batch instances.
Principle
The instance mode (more than one instance for a phase/operation type per unit) has been
added to the current type mode (a maximum of one instance for a phase/operation type per
unit). The system automatically switches to instance mode as soon as the condition is met in
at least one of the units (several instances per type).
