Intended use
SIMATIC BATCH Client
SB server products: You must have one of the BATCH UNIT authorizations on a SIMATIC
BATCH server. Depending on the number of configured units in your BATCH process cell, it
may be necessary to transfer additional UNIT authorizations. UNITs and authorizations can
be summed or counted here. Example: With a BATCH 10 UNITs and a BATCH 50 UNITs, you
can operate a BATCH process cell with 60 units.
SB client products: The SIMATIC BATCH client authorizations are searched for both locally
on a specified PC and on a PC specified in the network. The method of searching for
authorizations in the network must be configured in the Automation License Manager.
SIMATIC BATCH server authorizations, such as BATCH UNIT authorizations, are searched
for on the SB server. The message about missing authorizations is, however, output on a
SIMATIC BATCH client.
Note
BATCH engineering: The number of units is the sum of the "UNIT_PLC" BATCH interface
blocks. The number of configured and used units is displayed in the log that can be opened
from the BATCH configuration dialog.
Note
Missing authorizations
If neither trial licenses nor BATCH licenses are detected on BATCH PCs, all the actions you
want to perform on BATCH clients are prohibited, except for the operation of batches that are
already active. You can continue to operate, complete, and archive active batches.
