Batch Start Starts the batch process
Batch Reset Steps and resets an active batch to the beginning of the process.

Batching Switch
The batching switch option, PN 19369, comes as a complete unit in an FRP enclosure, with legend plate, locking
stop switch (mushroom button), and a run/start/abort 3-way switch.
Both switches are wired into the Counterpart’s digital I/O terminal strip as shown in Figure 5-6 on page 70. Each
switch uses a separate digital input.
Once cables and switch have been connected to Counterpart, use the menu button to place Counterpart in setup
mode. Use the DIG I/O menu to configure the digital input and output functions.
Figure 5-5. Batching Switch
When configuration is complete, exit setup mode. Initialize the batch by turning the 3-way switch to Abort, then
unlock the STOP button (the STOP button must be in the OUT position to allow the batch process to run). The
batching switch is now ready to use.
WARNING
If no digital input is assigned to BATRUN, batching proceeds as if BATRUN were always on; the batch will
start the 3-way switch is turned to RUN, but the STOP mushroom button will not function
