Api And Sbs Behavior; Batch Behavior; Requirements - Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual

● For batches that use AS-based mode, online structure changes are not possible. Use online
structure changes for batches that are created exclusively for PC-based mode. The control
recipe used for the batch must not contain any recipe unit procedures that are executed in
the AS.
● The commands "Resolve substructure" and "Hide in substructure" are not available for flat
recipes during an online structure change.

API and SBS behavior

Behavior in OSC mode
● At the start of the online structure change, the affected batch is locked for processing.
● The batch can no longer be changed or operated by other users.
● An error message is output in case of access, for example, to a deleted recipe element via
an existing reference in the control recipe.
9.8.8.5

Batch behavior

Batch behavior
If an active batch is placed into OSC editing mode, the BATCH Control Server (BCS) switches
the batch to "Suspend mode". The batch can no longer be monitored and controlled via the
BatchCC in this mode. The visualization of the batch in the BatchCC is no longer updated
because no process values are being read in from the process cell.
9.8.8.6

Requirements

The following requirements are to be fulfilled for processing batches (control recipes) in OSC
mode.
Requirements
● Every user with the "Start structure change" right can start a batch in OSC processing mode.
● The "Allow online structure changes" option can be activated in the BatchCC menu under
Options > Settings > Project settings > Batches.
● No recipe unit procedure of the master recipe used may be executed on the AS.
● The master recipe has to be released for testing.
● The control recipe used must be open in the window of BatchCC and the window must be
active. Click on the window, for example, to do this.
● The start of the OSC execution mode also depends on the status of the object used and
the batch status. The states of the objects (master recipes/formulas) and batches are listed
in the following tables.
