FactoryTalk Batch View

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.
