for visualizing and operating the batches in the OS.

With the aid of batch control you can display the execution of a control
recipe. Here the representation of the control recipe is the same as that of the
recipe editor but with a few changes on the menu and tool bars.
For executing the control recipe of a batch, batch control writes the setpoint
parameters of automation functions in their interface blocks of the PLC,
starts the corresponding processing blocks, and waits for their end signals.
