Siemens SIMATIC BATCH User Manual

Controlling a batch
The following table describes the functions of the control buttons and the reaction of the
batches.
Button Meaning Reaction
Start Starts execution of
the control recipe
With this command, you start a released batch in the start
mode "Operation". Batches with the Start mode "immediately"
and "time-driven" are started automatically.
You cannot start a batch if the batch is chained to another
batch and the preceding batch has not yet been started!
Pause after
step
Control recipe pro‐
cessing is held, the
steps in progress will
be completed
You can pause active batches using the "Pause after step"
command. In contrast to the "Hold" command, this command
simply prevents the control recipe from passing control to the
next step. Active recipe phases are not affected and continue
until they are complete.
Batch control waits with the processing of the next transition
or the start of the next recipe step until the Resume command
is received.
Hold immedi‐
ately
Control recipe pro‐
cessing is held, the
steps in progress will
not be completed.
You can stop batches immediately with the "Hold immediately"
command. In contrast to the "Pause after step" command, not
only the batch itself but also all the recipe phases currently
active in the control recipe are held.
Resume Execution of the con‐
trol recipe is resumed
at the point at which it
was stopped.
This command resumes batches that have been held in the
batch control. If recipe phases have also been stopped then
these phases return to the status "Running".
Stop The processing of the
control recipe is stop‐
ped at this step.
You will find further information in the section "Stop (Control
menu) (Page 1069)".
Abort The processing of the
control recipe is abor‐
ted at this step
You will find further information in the section "Abort (Control
menu) (Page 1065)".

Automatically when all the recipe steps of the batch were executed successfully or
With the operator command "Abort" or "Stop"
