Material phase binding

Material phase binding is the process of either:
  • Binding unbound material-enabled phase steps to a material phase and associated container
  • Rebinding a previously bound material-enabled phase step within a control recipe
When configuring an operation recipe's step that references a material phase class, the operator can select one of the three types of binding:
  • A specific material phase and container
    . The operator chooses a specific phase and container pair from the list.
  • Automatic
    : The
    FactoryTalk Batch
     Server selects the equipment phase associated to the highest-priority container.
  • Prompt
    . The operator must select a phase/container while the recipe is running.
To perform material binding, these criteria must be true:
  • The step is associated with a material-enabled phase class in the recipe.
  • The step is inactive or has a status of BINDING.
