Operator Prompts Via Group Display In Wincc - Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual

BATCH Control Center
9.8 Batch control
Display in WinCC
In WinCC, an operator prompt appears indicating that operator intervention is required. The
operator is therefore informed of operator prompts even when the control recipe is closed.
Branching after the operator dialog
After the operator has entered the actual values, it is possible to branch in the control recipe
after the operator dialog.

Operator prompts via group display in WinCC

Requests to the operator regarding processing of the batch are displayed in WinCC using the
group display. The operator can then open BatchCC and execute the action.
A group display is triggered for the following operator prompts:
● Acknowledge operator dialog
● Enter the Electronic signature (ESIG)
● Acknowledge breakpoint
How it works
1. The BATCH Control Server determines that an operator dialog or a breakpoint needs to be
acknowledged or that an electronic signature is required.
2. The BATCH Control Server detects the unit involved from the unit recipe and sets an input
to trigger a WinCC message (entering state) of the type "Operator Prompt".
3. A group display is interconnected to the "Unitname.EventState" variable in the WinCC
picture so that the operator prompt becomes visible.
