Batch View Errors

When running batches, you may occasionally encounter situations that are difficult to resolve. This section provides solutions to some of the problems you may encounter.
Issue
Solution
The following error displays when running a batch:
Recipe SFC Requires Illegal Use of Dedicated Resources
.
As a result, the batch goes into a HELD state.
Parallel steps requesting the same equipment module cannot occur just after an AND Divergence.
  • Abort or Stop the batch. Remove the batch from the batch list.
  • Revise the recipe to include a null procedure before each of the parallel steps after the AND Divergence.
  • Create and run a batch using the new recipe. (See the
    Recipe Editor User’s Guide
    for information on adding null phases to a recipe.)
A batch seems to be running, but it is not progressing as it should. No errors are generated. The status is RUNNING.
Parallel steps requesting the same equipment module cannot occur just before an AND Convergence.
  • Abort or Stop the batch. Remove the batch from the batch list.
  • Revise the recipe to include a null procedure after each of the parallel steps before the AND Convergence.
  • Create and run a batch using the new recipe. (See the
    Recipe Editor User’s Guide
    for information on adding null phases to a recipe.)
A failure is generated and the batch is held because the Batch server selected an equipment phase under EXTERNAL control to bind to during batch execution.
Phases put into an external state can still be viewed as binding candidates by the
FactoryTalk
 Batch Server. (The external state is a tag in the controller that prevents the Server from controlling the phase.) To remove a phase from being viewed as a binding candidate, you must take ownership of the phase. (For more information on the External attribute, see the
PCD Programmer’s Guide.
