Chapter 5 FactoryTalk Batch View introduction
74
Before you run the batch, you add a comment to add to the Batch Event
Journal.
To add a comment to a sample batch:
1. Select the Batch List button to return to the Batch List view.
2. Select the TEST_2 batch, and then select the Comment command
button. The Batch Comment dialog box opens.
3. Type This batch was altered to allow the operator to bind units
manually.
4. Select OK to return to the Batch List window.
Because you selected Prompt binding, the batch stops running when binding
is to occur and you must use the Unacknowledged Prompts list to select the
units to bind.
To respond to unacknowledged sample prompts:
1. Select the Start Batch command button, and then select Yes to start
the batch.
Tip: If the Command Signature dialog box opens, refer to Run a sample batch for
instructions.
The Unacknowledged Prompts button begins to flash yellow. You
could address this request from the Batch List view but switch to the
SFC view to see how the binding changes.
2. Select the Procedure as SFC button. Notice that the first transition
indicates BINDING, which means the FactoryTalk Batch Server is
trying to acquire an equipment phase to run the CLS_SWEETCREAM
unit procedure.
3. Select the flashing Unacknowledged Prompts button. The
Unacknowledged Prompts List opens indicating that the operator
must select the unit to use as the MIXER.
