Batches

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.
