PC-based phases introduction

The code for the PC-based phase logic in the batchphs.ocx was modified, changing the tag separator used for generation of the item names exposed by the control from an underscore (_) to a period (.). You can quickly change the FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor tag separator to a period by editing the batcheqp.ini file to change the default separator. The information in this guide is presented in an order that should minimize the effort required to design phases for use in FactoryTalk Batch recipes. The following subjects are presented:
  • PC-based phase
  • Create a PC-based phase
  • Use a PC-based phase
  • Properties, methods, and events
  • Application notes and example phase
TIP:
Communication to PC-based phases using the DDE protocol is no longer supported. If you are upgrading from RSBatch 4.X or an earlier version, you will need to set all tags to use an OPC server.
