BATCH BUILDER (BATCH Engineering)
Note
BATCH engineering is only installed if SIMATIC PCS 7 (SIMATIC Manager) has already been
installed on the ES PC. It is possible to install only BATCH engineering on an ES PC without
client or server functionality. This installation is perfectly adequate for configuring batch objects
and their distribution. The BATCH blocks must be installed separately, if required.
BATCH WinCC Client Options or BATCH WinCC APL Client Options
BATCH faceplates and block icons are supplied in two variants:
● In the standard classic "BATCH WinCC Client Options" form
● In the style of the Advanced Process Library "BATCH WinCC APL Client Options"
Note
Installation of Client Options
Only one selection is possible during installation.
If one variant is already installed, SIMATIC BATCH setup only offers an update for this variant.
However, you can convert to the other variant at any time after you have uninstalled the
previous variant. Make sure that the same variant of the "BATCH WinCC Options" is installed
and used throughout the entire system (ES, OS server, OS clients).
The following steps are crucial for automatic update to the new picture objects in APL style:
● Installation of the "BATCH WinCC APL Client Options" component
● Plant Hierarchy - Create / update block icons or compile the OS with the "Picture Tree"
option.
Note
Manually update process pictures which do not include automatically created and
interconnected picture objects. Picture objects which you have copied manually from the
"@PCS7Typicals_Batch.pdl" file and pasted into your process pictures are deleted.
● Running the OS Project Editor in WinCC.
