Simple Batch Creation - Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual

BATCH OS controls
11.2 Configuration in the Graphics Designer
Checking settings in SIMATIC Logon on "PC2"
1. Launch SIMATIC Logon.
2. Log on to "PC2" with the user "technical1".
3. Check the settings on the "Working environment" tab. By default, the "this computer or a
Windows domain" option button should be selected. Confirm the dialog with OK and close
the application.
Result
The "PC2" from the network has been configured as the logon PC. The users and groups and
the roles management are defined on this PC only.
In the new process picture, which uses the SIMATIC BATCH OS controls to show two BATCH
process cells at the same time, the user "brewer1" can control and monitor both BATCH
process cells on the local "PC1". To allow this, however, the permission for the relevant user
role must be enabled on the "Computers and units" tab in the permission management on both
PCs.
To configure the permission management for SIMATIC BATCH, the user "technical1" must be
assigned the role of "Superuser" and must also be logged on in the BATCH Control Center.

Simple batch creation

The procedure for automated creation of batches at the push of a button is described below.
Procedure
1. Open a new picture in the Graphics Designer.
2. Insert the OS control "SIMATIC Batch OS Batch Creation".
3. Insert the Windows object "Button" in your picture and assign a text for the button.
4. Develop a C-action for the "Mouse click" event on the button. Open the editing window.
Depending on your requirements, different properties of the OS Creation control can be
addressed and set. You can apply the program code shown below directly to the editing
window. In the example, the following properties are set for the batch creation: BatchName,
BatchSize, StartMode, AutoReleaseBatch, and StartTrigger.
5. Confirm your entries and start the compilation.
6. Save your picture and test the functionality in process mode.
Result
You have dynamized a button using C-script and thus automated the batch creation. Each
time the button is clicked, a batch with the following properties is created:
● Unless otherwise specified, the batch is created in the SystemOrder folder, if available.
Commented out program lines.
● The batch uses the "Rec-Superglue V1.0" control recipe.
