7.1.3.4 Rules for inserting CFC charts
Rules for storing CFC charts in the plant hierarchy
The process cell model is created in the SIMATIC Manager based on the CFC charts and the
configured plant hierarchy. When inserting CFC charts in the plant hierarchy, note the following:
● The charts with the corresponding SFC type instances or BATCH interface blocks can be
stored in the appropriate Batch hierarchy folders according to their technological
significance. Only TAG_COLL can be stored in the process cell folder. You can store the
UNIT_PLC along with EOPs, EPHs and TAG_COLL in folders of the "Unit" object type. EPH
blocks and TAG_COLL blocks can be stored in folders of the "Equipment module" object
type.
● The CFC charts with the function blocks (valves, controllers etc.) and sequential controls
(SFC) required for the automation task can also be stored in these BATCH hierarchy folders.
● You can also extend the hierarchy specified by SIMATIC BATCH for the general function
blocks using neutral hierarchy folders so that you produce the ideal plant structure for your
requirements.
