„ Multi-server capability Allows BatchCampaign to work with multiple FactoryTalk
Batch Servers, and start batches/campaigns on one server based upon state (complete,
started, etc.) of a batch/campaign on another server.
„ State transitions
The batches can easily be started, stopped, held, restarted, and
aborted.
„ Batch list population Adds batches to the FactoryTalk Batch Server according to the
specified number of batches that operators should be able to see on the batch list at
any time. As an example, if there were 15 batches in a given campaign, the Batch List
Count is configured for 5, and there are already 5 or more completed, aborted, or
stopped batches on the Server’s Batch list, then some of these batches must be
removed from the batch list before new batches will be automatically moved from the
campaign onto the FactoryTalk Batch View list.
„ Campaign and Batch ID configuration capability Gives you the ability to specify a
user algorithm for generating campaign and batch ID. A default algorithm is provided
that generates a batch ID based upon current date and time.
„ Unit Binding Unit classes can be bound from the BatchCampaign Human Interface.
„ Security You may choose to require a logon and password protection for access to the
BatchCampaign interface.
