FactoryTalk Batch View

Use
FactoryTalk® Batch View™
 to initiate and control the batch process. A batch is a running control recipe. The material produced by a single execution of a recipe is also considered a batch.
  • Use Batches to create, view, and command a control recipe, observe the execution of a single recipe, and bind units for class-based recipes. Once a control recipe is created, it remains in the
    Batches
    list until it is removed or until the
    FactoryTalk Batch
     Server is restarted with a cold boot. A graphical representation of a running batch and its associated data is displayed.
  • Use Prompts to alert operators to value requests for parameters, unit binding, material binding, and signatures or manual instructions. A control recipe cannot complete execution until the operator provides the requested information. In most cases, pending requests for information (value prompts, signatures, or manual instructions) are not acknowledged until a user either provides the information or stops or aborts the control recipe.
    • Value prompts alert operators to requests for parameter values, unit binding, and material phase/container binding.
    • Signatures are requests for signoffs that require user permissions and optional comments. When a signature is generated against a control recipe, acknowledge the signature by completing the associated signoffs. The requested user information in a signature is determined by the signature template defined in the area model.
    • Instructions are individual steps of a manually executed phase. As a batch executes, the instruction for each active step appears. Instructions execute in the order specified within the master recipe.
  • Use Equipment for an equipment-centric view of the defined area model. There are three levels of equipment: process cell, unit, and phase.
  • Use Diagnostics to view server and service status, server performance, server statistics, arbitration, and journals.
  • Use Profile to change the default language, view assigned groups, enable or disable the minimal view, and view authorization settings.
