Hello,
I'm having difficulty using Simatic Batch.
My scenario is as follows:
I have six silo's where material can be stored. When I start a recipe, I need for example 100kg from silo 1, 200 kg for silo 2 etc. The quantities are defined in the recipe and also the names of the input materials. The output material is then a mix of the materials.
So I need to have Simatic Batch to "know" which material is in the silo, so I can give a setpoint to the equipment phase. The equipment phase will determine which silo must be unloaded-> SP1 = 1, then unload silo 1, if SP=2, then unload silo 2.
How can I do this?
Hello, As Siemens Self Support integrated with SiePortal, here’s how to address your Simatic Batch silo management scenario: 1. **Material Master Data:** Define each silo’s material in Simatic Batch's material master. Link the silo (equipment) to the specific material it currently holds. 2. **Recipe Parameters:** Utilize recipe parameters to define the required quantity *and* material name for each input. 3. **Equipment Phase Logic:** In your equipment phase, use a PLC tag (setpoint - SP) to indicate the silo number. Your PLC logic then reads the material assigned to that silo from the Batch data and controls the unloading process. 4. **Dynamic Data Binding:** Employ dynamic data binding within the equipment phase to link the required material and quantity from the recipe to the appropriate silo’s control system. **SiePortal Resources:** Search SiePortal for "Simatic Batch Material Master", "Recipe Parameters", and "Equipment Phase Configuration" for detailed guidance. Also, review application examples related to dosing and material handling. If you encounter specific configuration issues, please provide the Simatic Batch version and relevant screenshots for further assistance.
