BATCH Recipe Editor
10.4 Creating recipes
Passing parameters
Using the "Source" and "Target" table columns, you can interconnect the parameters of
different hierarchical levels in both directions (mouse click on the button beside the parameter):
● For the RUP, ROP and RPH recipe objects, you can select a source from the next higher
level. Example: A parameter in the recipe procedure can be the source for a parameter in
an RUP.
Note
Parameters of the recipe steps that reference the level of the recipe procedure as the source
("passed up" recipe header parameters) can be used as formula parameters for batch
planning.
● For the RUP, ROP, RPH, and SUB recipe objects, the received process values can be
passed on to the next higher levels. Example: A process value in the RUP can have a
parameter in a recipe procedure as its target. This means it is also possible to use the actual
value of a step as the setpoint of a subsequent step.
Note
Parameters can only be passed when the parameter types and units of measure match.
Parameters that have a reference to the data source cannot be used as target parameters.
Properties of library references
Note
In the properties dialog of a library reference, most properties of the library operation are
displayed and cannot be modified. To modify the properties, you must open the library
operation explicitly in the BATCH Recipe Editor.
Scaling with minimum and maximum limit
The physical limits of the process cell instance is displayed as limit values. If the setpoint value
is adjusted, the possible minimum and maximum setpoint values are also displayed in the tool
tip.
If you remain within these limits (tooltip), the permissible quantities of a Batch between the
"minimum quantity of a Batch" and the "maximum quantity of a Batch" is ensured.
Setpoints outside the limits specified in the tooltip are also possible. In the event of this,
warnings are issued during the validation and the quantity of a batch is limited.
Low limit
This displays the minimum value of the parameter that would be of practical value as the
setpoint. If a discrete parameter type or text parameter is set for this parameter (in other words
not "floating point" type!), there is no minimum limit since only permitted entries are displayed
as the value. If scaling is selected, the value depends on the reference scale and the minimum
limit of the actual amount from the recipe header.
