"Monitoring time" in seconds text box
You specify the monitoring time and a system message will be generated if the current ROP
runtime is greater than or equal to the monitoring time you have set. Monitoring is disabled
when you enter a monitoring time of "0".
Scaling the run time:
You can use scaling functions to make processes quantity-dependent. Depending on the
specific quantity of the batch, the duration of a step is also corrected via the set scaling function.
The linear and quadratic scaling functions are available by default.
"Overwrite runtime" check box.
If you select this check box, the "Run time" text box can be edited. You can then change the
run time calculated by the system. If you clear the check box again, the run time calculated by

In this tab, you can view the data for the batch of the order and if necessary modify it.
● Name: Entry of a batch name. This batch name must be unique within an order.
● "Parameters" button:
Opens a dialog with the tabs "General", "Input material", "Output material" and
"Parameters". The "General" tab displays information about the recipe used in this batch.

● Status: The system plans and specifies the status for new batches that will be created.
● Mode: You determine the start mode:
– Operation: The operator triggers the start of the released batch. This field can also be
– immediately: A batch is started immediately once released.
– time-driven: If this mode is selected, a start date and a start time can be specified in the
● Start: The start time of the batch is specified here in the "Time-driven" mode.
● Min: Downward limitation of the concrete quantity
● Planned quantity: Quantity for quantity scaling of the quantity-dependent values used in
the recipe. The scaling functions for the values are based on this quantity. The entry can
still be modified before starting a batch.
