What is SIMATIC BATCH?

What is SIMATIC BATCH?
SIMATIC BATCH is a SIMATIC PCS 7 program package with which discontinuous processes,
known as batch processes, can be configured, planned, controlled and logged.
Simple batch processes with configurable sequential control systems are automated with the
CFC and SFC tools included in the PCS 7 Engineering System. When you have more complex
requirement of a recipe control strategy, you use SIMATIC BATCH. With SIMATIC BATCH,
recipe structures are designed, modified and started graphically on an operator station or on
a separate PC.
All process and operator data can be collected for a specific batch during batch execution and
can then be processed and printed out in a batch report.
Possible applications of SIMATIC BATCH
SIMATIC BATCH is suitable for batch processes of any complexity. It provides simple support
for batch applications ranging from small to extremely large.
The outstanding features of SIMATIC BATCH are as follows:
● Simple, graphic recipe creation
● Control and monitoring of recipe execution with the same graphic representation as used
in recipe creation
● Two modes for working through the recipe logic, PC-based and AS-based
● Control strategy with data from multiple programmable logic controllers
● Integrated permission management with detailed access permissions
● Integrated logging of all events (including manual intervention) for comprehensive
production documentation
● Simple and clear batch planning, when required with interfacing to higher-level PPS systems
● Modular expandability
● Application of NAMUR and ISA-88 standards
