Extended continuous mode of equipment phases

You decide in the project settings which behavior the equipment phases are to have in
continuous mode. You have the two following options:
● Equipment phase in continuous mode is to be completed when the recipe unit procedure
is completed or at the end of the batch (unit has been released).
● Equipment phase in continuous mode is to continue running when the recipe unit procedure
is completed or at the end of the batch (unit has been released) (Ready_TC) and it can be
allocated again.
Note
You have the option to explicitly prevent extended continuous mode.
You can find additional information in the section "Automatic complete obsolete".
Project setting
The project setting in the group "Batches" is read when the batch is created and is valid for
the entire runtime of the batch.
The information about which project setting the batch ran with is also stored in the batch archive.
You can change the project setting at any time. Batches that have already ben created are no
longer influenced by this change.
Representation of the extended continuous mode
The status "Continue" is displayed in allocated equipment phases in extended continuous
mode in the same way as in continuous mode.
The status "Continue" is represented by the color blue.
The figure below shows, for example, the status "Continue" for the RUP Unit 1 and for
