Batch Control Center (Batchcc) - Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual

Product introduction and installation
3.3 Components of SIMATIC BATCH
displayed via the "BATCH Status" button in the shortcut menu of the BATCH Launch
Coordinator.
Functions
The "BATCH CDV" server handles the following three tasks:
● Collects and stores WinCC messages.
● Collects and stores WinCC measured values. Only the measured values configured in the
running batches are collected and stored.
● Closing batches. This process is divided into two steps. The transition state "Closing" leads
to the final state "Closed".
Saving measured value and message data
BATCH CDV was enhanced so that the collected measured value and message data can only
be written to the hard disk when sufficient disk space is available.
In addition, a batch can only take the "Closed" status when all batch-specific measured value
data have been collected and written to the hard disk.
Note
Batches can no longer be closed if there is not enough space on the hard disk.
Cause:
A batch can only take the "Closed" status after it has first taken the "Closing" status and all
batch-specific measured value and message data have been collected and written to the hard
disk. If there is not enough hard disk space, the collected measured value and message data
cannot be saved.
Remedy:
As soon as there is enough hard disk space, the pending measured value and message data
is written to the hard disk. If a batch has the "Closing" status at this point in time, it is
automatically closed after the pending measured value and message data has been saved.
