Displaying Operator Dialogs During Runtime - Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual

Rules
Comments made on a current batch do not change or delete the original recipe comments.
Multiple comments can be entered for the control recipe elements or the entire Batch, for
example, to correct errors or to add new information.
The previous recipe comment appears "Read only" beside the input field for new texts.
You can enter comments on running batches until the batch is closed.
Follow the steps outlined below:
1. Open the control recipe for the running batches (if not already open).
2. Select a control recipe element or the entire control recipe (appears on a light blue
background).
3. Select the command Comment Batch or Comment Batch Element in the context menu.
4. Enter any text you require in the dialog box and close the dialog box with "OK".

Displaying operator dialogs during runtime

Using the "Operator instruction" recipe structure element, you can display instructions for the
operator while batches are running or configure the information for manual intervention (for
example manual dosing).
Requirements
The Operator instruction was configured during creation of the master recipe as described in
the section Operator instruction (Insert menu) (Page 534).
The control recipe is open.
Principle
An operator instruction during runtime is displayed on all active BatchCCs on which the control
recipe is open. On all other BatchCCs, there is simply a display in the message window. An
operator confirms responsibility for the operator instruction by clicking the "Apply" button (input
is then locked in the dialogs on the other BatchCCs).
All operators not affected by the operator instruction, click Minimize or Close: This ensures
that the operator dialog disappears but is still available for the process.
After the operator has executed the operator instruction and for example, entered the required
process values, the operator confirms with "OK" in the operator dialog to indicate that the
instruction has been executed. Once the operator dialog is acknowledged in this way, it
disappears automatically from all the message windows. A process value can be entered in
the "Input material", "Output material" and "Parameters" tabs of the operator dialog (refer to
the figure below).
As an option, acknowledgment by the operator can be configured as a condition for continuing
the batch. Actual values that have been entered can be used in steps and transitions during
the remaining execution of the recipe.
