Errors sources in distributed multiproject engineering with SIMATIC BATCH

Introduction
If the procedures and requirements for individual configurations are not adhered to, the
following errors may occur:
● The batch data in the CMP and all projects may become invalid
● The batch data in the Batch database may become invalid
● SFC types may be changed in the master data library with confirmation.
Troubleshooting
How are problems like this avoided?
Procedure on the ES in the SIMATIC Manager
1. Open the multiproject in the SIMATIC Manager.
2. Remove the ISA-88 type definition and delete the Batch process cell in all AS projects of
the multiproject. The OS projects are an exception to this.
3. Update the Batch process cell, generate and propagate the batch types, merge the batch
instances, and transfer the messages to the OS.
The batch types now only include the types you generated manually. The batch instances
are also empty.
4. Reinsert a Batch process cell and the ISA-88 type definition in all AS projects of the
multiproject. The OS projects are an exception to this; they are retained.
5. Update the Batch process cell, generate and propagate the batch types, merge the batch
instances, transfer the messages to the OS, and download the batch data.
The batch types now also include the generated types again. You have merged the batch
instances.
6. Check if all function blocks and SFC types are identical in all projects of the CMP and have
the same version. The easiest way to ensure this, is to update the function blocks of the
master data library in all projects (AS projects). You can also copy the SFC types to all
chart folders of the S7 program.
– Select the block folder within your S7 program in your integrated project. Select
– Copy the SFC types in the chart folder of your integrated project to all chart folders within
238
Options > Charts > Update Block Types. Select the S7 program to be checked and click
Next.
If an update is not required, this is indicated by a check mark in the "Status" check box.
If an update is required, the "Update" dialog is displayed. Select the block types that are
to be updated. Check the log and close the wizard.
