SIMATIC PCS 7 OSx 4.1.2 Operator
The operator can view the graphic associated with an active batch if a BCL
program has associated the graphic with the batch ID. If a batch ID is not
associated with a graphic, OSx displays the detail screen corresponding to
the batch.
The operator may observe some delay in the execution of a BCL program in
the Operate state when another OSx station is synchronizing. To see if this
is the cause of the delay, check Network Status, which shows when stations
are synchronizing. Program execution will be complete shortly after
synchronization finishes.
To view the graphic associated with a batch, access the Active Batch
Directory and select a batch ID. OSx displays the currently associated
graphic (or the tag detail if an associated graphic does not exist). A BCL
program can automatically change the graphic associated with a batch as
the batch progresses.
To view the tag detail associated with a batch graphic, select
