Updating a BATCH process cell

Updating process cell data
Below, you will find a description of how to update a process cell. It is always necessary to
update your process cell if you make changes in the basic engineering that you also need to
make known to SIMATIC BATCH.
Requirement
The batch plant data created in the Engineering System (ES) has been downloaded from the
engineering station to the runtime computer of the BATCH server.
Procedure
1. Select the menu command Edit > Updating the process cell.
2. In the dialog, select the row with the modified process cell project and confirm with OK.
Result: The "Update process cell" dialog box appears. After confirming this dialog, the
process cell data is updated. Changed object data is overwritten. New objects are added.
The assignments are displayed based on the following symbols:
3. If there are any assignments missing between the objects of the old and new process cell
configuration, make the necessary assignments, as follows: Select the object with a missing
assignment in the left-hand window. In the upper right-hand window, select the value that
is not assigned and double-click on the object.
4. Repeat step 3 for all objects that are not assigned and then confirm your changes by clicking
the "OK" button in the dialog.
Result
The process cell data is updated. During this time, the process cell is locked for editing. The
process cell update includes a validation routine during which all the objects used in SIMATIC
BATCH are checked. If incorrect assignments are found, objects used in SIMATIC BATCH
can fail validation. In this case, you must adapt and re-release BATCH objects such as master
recipes, library operations, or formulas that have the "Release invalid" status following the
validation. Batches that are running are not affected by a process cell update. Batches that
have already been released and that have the status "Release invalid" following the validation
can no longer be used. Delete such batches and create a new batch with the modified master
recipe.
