Hello RDI555; Batch processing refers to complex industrial and manufacturing processes that are not continuopus, but require distributed control using recipies. Batch processing has been recently standardized as ISA-88 and the different sub-standards derived ; you can find more information in the following links: http://www.isa-88.com/subpages/technology/isa-88/isa-88-01.php http://www.isa.org/MSTemplate.cfm?MicrositeID=275&CommitteeID=4737 In the S7/WinCC world, Batch processing has been integrated in the PCS 7 programming environment, as an Add-on to the basic package that includes the PLC programming and the WinCC SCADA. The following quotes from the PCS 7 Batch operation manual describes briefly how it is used: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/49937854 SIMATIC BATCH is a SIMATIC PCS 7 program package with which discontinuous processes, known as batch processes, can be configured, planned, controlled and logged. Functions of SIMATIC BATCH SIMATIC BATCH supports you throughout all the stages involved in the automation of batch processes. The functions provided by SIMATIC BATCH can be divided into four basic areas: ● Recipe system: Creation and management of any number of master recipes and library operations ● Batch planning: Planning and replanning of batches and production orders ● Batch control: Execution, visualization and control of batches released for production and the corresponding control recipes as well as visualization of the current unit allocation ● Batch data management: Acquisition, storage and logging of batch data Manuals for Simatic PCS 7 Batch: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/10904064/130000 Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
