Product introduction and installation
3.10 Plant update
● As of SIMATIC BATCH V7.0, enumerations are supported for the BOOL data type. If you
use this type, now it will be interpreted as ENUM and no longer as BOOL. This results in a
type change during generation, which means that the plausibility check will mark the release
of such recipe objects as invalid when you update the plant in BatchCC. If you want to use
recipe parameters of the Enumeration data type in master recipes, configure the ENUM
data type instead of BOOL in the PCS 7 engineering.
● If you have configured a redundancy status display of the SIMATIC BATCH server in a
process picture on a WinCC client in a previous version of SIMATIC BATCH, it must be
removed in order to update the system to SIMATIC BATCH V8.2. Instead, use the icons in
the status bar of BatchCC to display and check the status of the BATCH server.
