Displaying Two Batch Process Cells In One Process Picture - Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual

BATCH OS controls
11.2 Configuration in the Graphics Designer
If necessary, you can also view the script (C action) contained in the template screen and can
adapt it to your purposes. The example below explains how you can edit the C action.
Requirement
The "@simatic_batchos.pdl" template is open in the Graphics Designer.
"Edit C action" procedure
For this configuration, you need a new process picture bases on the template.
1. Save the open template under a new name.
2. Make sure no graphic objects are selected. In the picture, right-click on a spot that does
not contain any objects and select the "Properties" command.
3. Select the "Event" tab and open the "Others" folder.
4. Double-click on the "Picture selection" attribute or right-click the lightning icon in the "Action"
column and select "C action" from the shortcut menu.
5. Adapt the default C action to your requirements.
6. Click the "Generate action" command on the toolbar and close the dialog by clicking OK.
7. Close the "Object properties" dialog and save your process picture.
Result
In WinCC Runtime, you can view the result after changing pictures. To do so, open the modified
template by means of the "Picture by name" command on each monitor. With an action in an
OS control on one of the monitors, check whether the operator control dialog appears only
there and whether the result of the operator action/change is displayed on the other monitors.
