■ Overview
The SIMATIC BATCH BatchCC enables the creation of individual
production orders and batches. Far more planning functionality
is offered by the additional SIMATIC BATCH batch planning op-
tion package. BatchCC can then be used to plan batches in ad-
vance for a large number of production orders.
■ Function
The range of functions includes not only the planning but also
the modification, canceling, deleting and releasing of batches.
Dividing and saving batches for a production can be performed
manually or, after specifying the number of batches and the pro-
duction quantity, automatically. The following batch parameters
can be selected and changed before the release order is given:
• Quantity to be prepared
• Starting mode (immediately, by operator input or time-con-
trolled)
• Plant unit assignment
• Formula (parameter set)
• Run sequence (interlinking with the previous or next batch)
• Indication of batch runtime
Batch planning and control are conveniently supported and sim-
plified by special displays such as order category list, produc-
tion order list, batch planning list, batch status list and batch re-
sults list.
All batches and their plant unit assignments can be clearly pre-
sented by a combination of Gantt diagram and table. Conflicts
of time or due to multiple assignment of plant units are marked
by symbols. Time conflicts are easily eliminated by moving the
affected batches in the Gantt diagram.
