● The process picture to be configured should display the data from a local batch process
cell (single-station system, "PC1") and a remote batch process cell (single-station system,
"PC2").
● The purpose of this is to show the current unit allocations for both BATCH process cells
during batch processing simultaneously in one picture.
Requirements
● A network connection has been set up between "PC1" and "PC2".
● The BATCH project is open in SIMATIC Manager.
● WinCC Explorer and Graphics Designer are open on "PC1".
Procedure: "Inserting OS controls into process picture"
To display two BATCH process cells or units, you need a new process picture with the BATCH
OS controls for both process cell projects.
Proceed as follows (on "PC1"):
1. In the Graphics Designer, create a new file (process picture) and save it under a name of
your choice.
2. Insert two of each of the following BATCH OS controls into your process picture:
– Control "CtrlBOSMaster"
– Control "CtrlBOSPCell"
– Control "CtrlBOSCreation"
– Control "CtrlBOSProperties"
– Control "CtrlBOSAllocation".
3. Insert the BATCH OS control "CtrlBOSMonitor" into your process picture only once.
Messages will be output in one control for both BATCH process cells.
4. Group or arrange all the BATCH OS controls in such a way that it is easy to tell which
BATCH OS controls belong to which process cell.
Procedure: "Setting control properties"
In order for the BATCH OS controls to communicate with the corresponding SIMATIC BATCH
servers (SBS), you must set the "SBIdent" or "ProjectName" attribute in the "CtrlBOSMaster"
OS controls. The attribute for "CommunicationChannel" is used for internal communication
and must be set for all OS controls.
Note
If you do not want to permanently store your BATCH projects and prefer to select them freely,
do not enter the attributes listed in step 2.
