Selecting units
For a more efficient selection of suitable units in the BATCH Recipe Editor, specify process-
specific conditions for the unit in this tab. All units fulfilling these conditions are displayed in
the "Allocation" tab. This enables, for example, the inclusion of additional units in the batch
process (for batches that have not yet been released) without a recipe change in the event of
process cell expansions following an update of the process cell in the Batch Control Center.
The table is empty when the tab opens for the first time. You can insert new condition lines
with the "New" button. By marking a condition line and pressing the "Change" button, the
subsequent dialog for configuration of the conditions opens. The dialog guides the user in
entering the operands and the interconnection operation. Result: The "Condition" tab is
correspondingly updated upon closing the subsequent dialog. A line always contains the
information for exactly one condition. Additional conditions can be consequently entered by
using the "New" button. Existing "conditions" can be changed using the "Change" button or by
double-clicking a condition. A direct entry in the "Condition" tab is not possible.
If you use the allocation strategy "Preferred unit" with a condition, a preferred unit must have
been selected at the latest during batch planning. Otherwise the batch cannot be released.
