12.4 What effects do changes to SFC types have on SIMATIC BATCH?
Effects on objects in BatchCC and on batches
Interface changes and their application to the BATCH Control Center or the active batch
operation have the following effects:
● You can release and start planned batches.
● You can start released batches.
● Running batches. Definition: After updating the process cell, all the units specified in the
master recipe are allocated a batch and the batch is in the "Running" status.
– The batch is continued as far as the recipe step in which the interface change was made.
– The batch changes to the error status at this point. The "red lightning" icon is displayed
– You then need to control and operate the modified equipment phase manually using a
– Reset the step with the error in the BatchCC.
– Resume the batch following the manually operated equipment phase.
● Running batches. Definition: After updating the process cell, none of the units specified in
the master recipe is allocated yet or the units are waiting for allocation.
– The unit in which the change was made cannot be allocated to the batch. In process
– Reset the step with the error in the BatchCC and start it again.
Effects of interface changes in the basic engineering on existing master recipes
A change to the SFC type with an interface change can have the following effects on existing
master recipes and batches:
● Master recipes in which objects of the modified SFC type are used, lose their release
(release invalid).
● Created batches that use a copy of the master recipe cannot be released.
● Released batches lose their release and are invalid. These batches cannot be used and
must be deleted.
● Running batches can change to the error status and later recipe phases are no longer
started since the instance of the SFC type is held and can no longer be started.
Reaction to errors in the validation
To eliminate errors reported during validation or to confirm changes made to your SFC types,
click on the relevant error row in the validation dialog and exit the dialog with the "OK" button.
This confirms the changes to the instance.
