SIMATIC BATCH blocks V8.1
Function Manual, 09/2014, A5E32335968-AA 5

Interface blocks 1
1.1 General information on the block description
Introduction
The block descriptions always organized in the following form:
● Overview of the block description
● Object name (class + number)
● Function
● Operating principle
● Calling OBs
● Error handling
● I/Os of ...
● Operating control and monitoring of ...
Overview of the block description
Example: IEPH: Equipment phase - BATCH interface
The title begins with the type name of the block (IEPH). This symbol name is entered in the
symbol table and must be unique in the project.
You will find the keyword for the task/function of the block (equipment phase - BATCH interface)
in the type name.
Object name (class + number)
FBx
The object name of the block type is formed by the type of implementation:
Function block = FB, function = FC and the block number = x.
Function
Brief description of the block function. You can find additional information about complex blocks
in the section "Operating principle".
Operating principle
Additional information about the functions of individual inputs, modes, time sequences, etc.
You learn about the overall relationships to use the block effectively.
SIMATIC BATCH blocks V8.1
Function Manual, 09/2014, A5E32335968-AA 7

Calling OBs
Information about the organization blocks (OBs) in which the block being described must be
installed. When using CFC, the block is installed in the cyclic OBs (cyclic interrupt) and
automatically in the OBs listed in the taskbar of the block (for example, in OB100 for a hot
restart).
During compilation, CFC generates the required OBs. When using the blocks without CFC,
you must program these OBs and call the block instance in them.
Error handling
You can find the error code in the CFC chart at the ENO Boolean block output. The value
corresponds to the BR (binary result in STEP 7 SCL on completion of the block) or the OK bit
(in SCL notation) has the following meaning:
● ENO=BR=OK=1 (TRUE) → The result of the block is correct.
● ENO=BR=OK=0 (FALSE) → The result or the conditions for calculating the result (for
example, input values, modes) are not valid.
With FBs, you will also find the inverted BR at the output QERR of the instance DB.
● QERR=NOT ENO
The error code is produced in two independent ways:
● The operating system detects a processing error (for example, value overflow, called
system functions supply error ID with BR=0). This is a system function and is not described
in detail in the individual block descriptions.
● The block algorithm checks whether values and modes are functionally permitted. These
errors are documented in the description of the block.
You can evaluate the error code, for example, to create messages or to work with substitute
values instead of incorrect results.
I/Os of ...
The I/Os represent the data interface of the block. Via these I/Os, you can transfer data to the
block and fetch results from it.

The "I/Os" table lists all the input and output parameters of the block type that the user can
access with configuration tools. They are sorted alphabetically. I/Os that can only be accessed
by the algorithm of the block, so-called internal variables, are not listed. The columns have the
following meaning:

●I/O
Name of the parameter derived from the English name.
Example: PV_IN = Process Variable INput (process variable, control variable). As far as
permitted by SIMATIC conventions, the same names were used.
●Meaning
Function (possibly a brief description)
●Type
S7 data type of the parameter (e.g. BOOL, REAL)
●Default
The value of the parameter before the block is run for the first time, unless this was changed
during configuration
●Class

I Input
Value supply of the block (representation in the CFC: left side of block)
O Output
Output value. (representation in the CFC: right side of the block)
IO Input / output
Reacting input that can be written by the OS and written back by the block (representation in the CFC: left side
of block)
●Attr. (Attributes)
Additional characteristics of the parameter when used in CFC. Input and output parameters
that are not interconnected can have parameters assigned (input/output parameters only
with online FCs).
Output parameters cannot have values assigned and can be transferred in CFC by
interconnecting them to an input of the same data type.
Additional or deviating parameter properties are specified as follows:
Table 1-3 Parameter properties
Abbreviation Attribute
Q Interconnectable
The I/O can be interconnected with another output of the same type.
U Hidden in the CFC
The I/O is not displayed in CFC (for example, the message ID), because it is supplied by the block itself or by
the OS block. This default setting can be changed in the CFC.
OCM
Parameters identified by the "+" character can be monitored and controlled using the
corresponding OS block.

Calling OBs
The OB in which you install the block (for example, OB1).
Function
The IEPH block serves as the interface between a BATCH recipe step of the type RPH (recipe
phase) and the user programs on the automation system for control and status information.
The IEPH block is used to pass on the batch control commands to the user program (basic
function blocks) and the status messages of the user encoded in the status word of the IEPH
block for batch control.
The setpoints are set and the process values adopted via the parameter blocks (IEPAR_...)
underlying the IEPH block. To allow this, the IEPAR blocks are interconnected with the
EPE_CONN output of IEPH. Via this output, there is also check to establish whether the
configured IEPH block instance and the IEPAR block instances match the definition of the
phase type. The name of the phase type is located in the F_TYPE input parameter of the IEPH
block.
The IEPH block allows the following status changes:

1.2 BATCH interface blocks
SIMATIC BATCH blocks V8.1
Function Manual, 09/2014, A5E32335968-AA 11

Operating principle
● Allocate / Enable
A recipe step can occupy the block by setting the identifier OCCUPIED = 1. It also enters
an occupied information based on the batch name, batch number, the step number
(UBA_NAME, UBA_ID, USTEP_NO) and, if necessary, the step monitoring time (STEP_T).
The block is only occupied if enabled for BATCH (BA_EN = 1), if set to auto mode (status
word bit 17 = 1), and if there is no active group error (status word bit 31 = 0).
● Control commands
The block is controlled by way of the ISTART, IHOLD, IABORT, ISTOP, ITERM, IRESET
(for interconnection in CFC) control inputs, or by means of control word ICTRL (used only
in BATCH). The active control commands can be read from the corresponding outputs, for
example, QSTART and QHOLD. Control word ICTRL enables the consistent writing of
control commands in BATCH. Example: ICTRL = 1 ensures that ISTART = 1 and IHOLD
= 0 are written simultaneously. The control inputs are reset automatically after the
corresponding end status was reached (reset of ISTART at the positive of the RUNNING
bit in USTAT_L, for example).
● Status word
The reaction to user input is signaled at the USTAT_L status input of the user block which
is interconnected with the IEPH block. The status, including other block information, is
returned at output QUSTAT_L and is monitored by BATCH. The bit assignment is
synchronized with the assignment at the SFC_CTRL block.
● No automatic completion
The BATCH block sets the READY bit in the status word to report that it is not automatically
completing and that BATCH is to handle completion. If using the SFC_CTRL block which
does not provide a READY status you can set the READY bit using input IREADY.
● Runtime monitoring
The step time is incremented at intervals of one second with a positive edge at the
RUNNING status. The COMPLETED status is used to stops the time count. The "Runtime
exceeded" identifier is set (bit 19) if the actual value (Q_STEP_T) exceeds the setpoint
(STEP_T). Runtime monitoring is taken into account as message in WinCC and does not
generate a group error.
Note
Identifier "SFC: Step runtime error" is used internally by the SFC and leads to a group
error.
● Trigger for reading setpoints/actual values
If the block is active the user program can set the trigger signal IREFRESH in QUSTAT_L
by generating a positive edge at input IREFRESH. This action instructs BATCH to
immediately read all setpoints and actual values and to archive these in the batch data for
reporting.
● Trigger for checking and activating new setpoints
BATCH sets input IPARAM when reading new setpoints. The basic function detects this
action by monitoring the corresponding QPARAM output and can then check and activate
the setpoints. If the check returns a negative result the basic function can either signal an
error or disable the start by setting input "ILOCK". BATCH resets input IPARAM during
startup of the equipment phase. This can be done, for example, in conjunction with a change
of the mode of operation.

1.2 BATCH interface blocks
SIMATIC BATCH blocks V8.1
12 Function Manual, 09/2014, A5E32335968-AA

● Start lock
The "Start lock" identifier in the status word or input "ILOCK" can be used to inform the
BATCH block that start or resume is not desired.
Note
The start lock must have been set in IDLE state if the BATCH is to comply with the start
lock. If start lock is set the BATCH executes the occupation it initially writes the setpoints
and then waits for the block to reset the start lock.
● Continuous operation or bumpless changeover. In continuous operation, two recipe steps
(time-based) successively use the same block without resetting this block between the
steps. The block only reports the READY state at the end of the first cycle. BATCH then
sets the status ID for continuous mode by setting input ICONT instead of terminating the
block by setting ITERM. You configure this functionality when creating the recipes. ICONT
is reset when the the second recipe step is activated.
"Continuous operation or bumpless changeover" is only supported by recipe functions
which are not automatically completed.

Rules for setting the status bits
● Static states are of highest importance in BATCH. The transition states are optional. The
RUNNING state may be activated directly after the IDLE state, for example.
● Only one static state and one transient state may be active simultaneously.
Example:
Allowed HELD on its own
Allowed ABORTING on its own
Allowed HELD and ABORTING (useful in order to be able to detect the original state)
Not allowed HELD and ABORTED
Not allowed HOLDING and ABORTING

Note
Exception: The READY state may be generated at another static state if the IREADY input
is used.
● A group error (bit 31) may be set in addition to any other state.
● The corresponding USTAT_L bit does not have to be set for entries in the "set if" column.

- Each list box represents an
insertion material or a
material yield.
Creating user authorizations
The operator enable option must be set to "Yes" in the "Other" section of the "Properties" tab
in the object properties dialog of the IUNIT and IEPH/IEOP faceplates.
The operator must also be authorized to control an object The access security levels for
operators are set up by means of the User Administrator in WinCC Explorer:
● Operator input must be enabled at authorization level 5 (process control) or 6 (higher-priority
process control).
● The access security levels can be assigned as follows:
– generally for all units ("Enable" column in the User Administrator)
– unit-specific ("<unit name>" column in the User Administrator)
Using a template to create a batch faceplate
Graphics Designer (WinCC-Explorer) provides a template for selecting batch faceplates in
PCS 7 OS pictures.
1. Open the required process picture in Graphics Designer.
2. Open the "@Template_Batch.pdl" template file by selecting the File > Open command.
3. Use the "IEPH" block icon to visualize technical functions in the faceplate.
4. Select the block icon from the template file and then copy it to your process picture.
5. Select the block icon in your process picture.
6. Double-click the PCS 7 function "Interconnect faceplate with process tag" in "Standard
dynamics" in the Dynamic Wizard window.
7. Click "Continue" in the Dynamic Wizard, and then click the search function "...".
8. The variable selection dialog displays all instantiated blocks. Select the required block, and
then click OK > Continue > Finish.
