Control: SIMATIC BATCH OS Monitor

What is the purpose of the "SIMATIC BATCH OS Monitor" control?
Messages relating to actions and reactions in the OS controls are displayed in this control.
Always insert this control in your process picture. This control will let you track all the actions
performed in process mode based on the messages.
Note
Even if you want to control and monitor more than one batch process cell in a process picture,
insert the BATCH OS "Monitor" control (CtrlBOSMonitor) only once per process picture.
Messages will be output for all batch process cells in this one control.
Messages document your process and are continuously generated by the system or by
operator actions. The messages are shown in a table. They are sorted according to the time
they enter a table and are assigned a separate line in the table. Each table row is subdivided
into the following columns: Message number, message status with symbol, message text and
message date. By clicking in the column header, you can change the message sorting to suit
your needs. In the filter row, you can enter a filter criterion for each column, enabling you to
filter according to specific messages. Commands on the toolbar and shortcut menu allow you
to update, cancel, delete and confirm messages.
