Phases in the area model

If changes are made to equipment phases in the
Logix Designer
 project and the corresponding phases in the area model need to be updated, synchronize the area model with the project file.
For example, if a phase tag is added or changed on the equipment phase in the
Logix Designer
 project, apply the change to the corresponding phase classes and phases in the area model.
You cannot delete a phase by synchronizing the area model with the project. If an equipment phase is deleted in
Logix Designer
, you must manually delete the corresponding phase in
FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor
. Likewise, if a phase is deleted in
FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor
, you must manually delete the corresponding equipment phase in
Logix Designer
.
These types of changes to the equipment phase in the
Logix Designer
 project can be transferred to the corresponding phase classes and phases in the area model through synchronization:
  • Addition and removal of phase tags
  • Changing the usage of a phase tag to Input or Output
    TIP:
    Starting with FactoryTalk Batch 15.00 you cannot change the equipment phase name through synchronization.
After any of these changes to the project file in
Logix Designer
 are made, complete the steps in these sections to transfer these changes to the area model in
FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor
.
IMPORTANT:
Do not edit the phase tags containing a leading underscore (_) in the
Logix Designer
 project. If the
Name
,
Usage
, or
Data Type
 of these phase tags in
Logix Designer
 are changed, synchronization cannot be used to apply changes to the area model.
