7.3.18.5 Executable functions in a multiproject
Executable functions for the BATCH types in the BATCH configuration dialog
Function Selected object Description
Generate Batch types
● SFC types: Operation/phase types are generated from SFC
types with EOP/EPH IDs.
● BATCH interface blocks: Batch types (units of measure,
operation/phase types, process tag types) are generated
from the instances of the BATCH interface blocks.
● In multiproject engineering, this command generates the
batch types from the SFC types or BATCH interface blocks
of all projects of the multiproject.
Note: If Batch instances, SFC types or TAGCOLLECT FBs are
modified, the "Generate" function must be run prior to compila‐
tion. The same applies to modifications in the PH, for example
after moving or copying CFC charts.
Propagate Batch types Notification of the complete type description to the individual
projects of the multiproject.
After executing this function, you can select the projects to be
involved in the propagation of the batch types in a dialog box.
The type descriptions of all selected projects are then consis‐
tent.
New
● Phase types
● Operation types
● Process tag types
Creation of phase, operation, and process tag types under the
selected area and creation of the corresponding type parame‐
ters.
Delete
● Data type
● User data type (if present)
● Units of measure
● Phase types
● Operation types
● Process tag types
● Equipment properties
You can delete data types, user data types, units of measure
and equipment properties in the selected folder. All non-in‐
stanced objects are deleted. However, they remain available in
the shared declarations and will appear again during the next
generation. With operation types, phase types and process tag
types, you can select individual objects and delete them as long
as they have not been instanced.
Edit
● Phase types
● Operation types
● Process tag types
Editing the attributes of the batch types and type parameters.
Exception: SFC types
You will find a description of editing SFC types in the section
"Creating a new SFC type (Page 155)".
