Definition of the batch function:
A batch in production refers to the total of all units of a product, produced, manufactured or packed
under the same conditions. A total of this type is generally assigned a unique lot number (batch
number) and this number is also often marked on the products in this lot.
The batches are assigned to a fixed signal analysis in the device (batch 1 -> analysis 1, batch 2 ->
analysis 2 etc.). Note: if 4 batches are running in parallel, the operator cannot carry out any further
analyses (e.g. daily analysis). Only the totalizer is always determined.
A batch can be started or stopped manually at the device, using an external keyboard, barcode
reader, control input (digital input) or via remote operation (PC software or fieldbus).
At the end of the batch, a batch report ("Signal analysis") is created with min/max/average values
and quantities. This can also be printed automatically. Furthermore, alarm statistics can be
generated relating to the batch report, with frequency and duration of set point violations.
