Possible Limit Violations When Adjusting The Volume - Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual

● Blue bar: Batches with a run time shorter than six hours. These batches are always
displayed the same size. In other words, zooming does not magnify nor reduce the time
elements of these batches.
● Red bar: Units with conflict. The same unit is planned to be used by more than one batch
at the same time.
Note
As long as a batch is in the "planned" status, it can be dragged and dropped in a horizontal
direction (time scale) in this view.
Below a unit, all the batches that have not yet completed and for which the unit is used are
displayed. A batch can therefore occur more than once under "Units".
Moving the time scale
The time range can be moved using the arrow symbols at the left and right ends of the scale:
● Left arrow: Moves the time scale towards the past.
● Right arrow: Moves the time scale towards the past.
As an alternative, the time range can also be moved by clicking on the area between the two
arrows.
Continuous expansion and reduction of the time scale
The visible time range (for example one week) can be reduced (for example, two hours) or
expanded (for example, ten days).
By clicking on the area between the two arrows while holding down the "Ctrl" button, you can
zoom the time scale.
● Move the mouse to the left: the times scale is reduced.
● Move the mouse to the right: the times scale is increased.

Possible limit violations when adjusting the volume

Recommendations to avoid possible limit violations when creating a basic recipe and control recipes
based thereon (batches)
The following explanations demonstrate how limit violations can be avoided when releasing a
batch. Such limit violations are generally caused by adjusting the volume of the setpoint
parameters when creating a control recipe from a basic recipe.
