Batch ID If a batch ID was not automatically generated, you can change the batch ID to
whatever you want (using characters A-Z, 0-9); the default batch ID is
Batch_ID.
Start Trigger Triggers automatically start the next batch in a campaign upon completion of
currently executing batch.
Select the desired start trigger from the scroll down list:
„ (none) – no trigger.
„
Time/Date – this allows you to enter the time and date you would like the
batch to start.
„ Batch State – allows you to set the batch to start depending on the state of
any other specified batch transitioning to Running or Complete.
„ Immediate Start – this will start the batch as soon as it is created.
„
Sequential Start – each batch will automatically be started when the state
of the previous batch is Complete.
The start trigger for the first batch is not modified.
Scale Parameters
(Only applies to
recipes that are
marked as having
scalable
parameters)
(All scalable parameters are highlighted in blue.)
This allows deferred recipe parameters to be scaled automatically according
to the batch size. When the box is unchecked, the ingredient value entered is
sent to the FactoryTalk Batch Server and automatically scaled.
To see what it will be scaled to, check the Scale Parameters box and the
scaled value will replace the original value.
When a value for the ingredient is entered and the Scale Parameters box is
checked, the actual value that the FactoryTalk Batch Server will use is
displayed, it will not be changed because it is already scaled.
For example, a batch with a default size of 4,000 liters is scaled to 5,000
liters, or 125% of the default batch size as defined in the recipe header. If 100
liters of the ingredient WATER is entered with the Scale Parameters box
unchecked, FactoryTalk Batch Server will automatically scale the amount of
the ingredient WATER to 125 liters.
When the Scale Parameters box is checked, it displays the value the
FactoryTalk Batch Server used, which would be 125 liters. If
125 liters is
entered when the Scale Parameters box is checked, the FactoryTalk Batch
Server uses the actual number you entered (in this case, 125 liters).
