Overview of the Batch Tutorial > Importing the batch tutorial databases

Additional steps after importing Complete.fhx

Before you can run recipes and perform some of the testing exercises in the tutorial, you must do several things after importing the Complete.fhx file and downloading the Physical Network. Because the Complete.fhx file contains the completed configuration, you will only be able to do testing and running exercises - not the configuration exercises. Some phases, such as DRAIN and AGITATE, are modified at various points in the tutorial; only the final version of these phases is included in the Complete.fhx file.

Log in as a user who is authorized to perform batch operator activities. You may need to click View → Refresh after downloading to see all the areas and modules.

  1. Assign the modules to the workstation by dragging the EXTERIOR_PAINT area to Assigned Modules under the workstation name.
    The new database opens.
  2. Assign the EXTERIOR_PAINT area to the Alarms and Events subsystem under the workstation using the drag-and-drop method.
  3. Enable the Batch Executive on a workstation by opening the Properties dialog for the Batch Executive and then selecting Enabled. On the Server tab, select Query User as the Restart behavior and UOP as the Hold propagation limit.
  4. Assign the EXTERIOR_PAINT area to the Batch Executive.
  5. Assign the PRC_PAINT and OP_FINISH recipes (under System Configuration/Recipes) to the Batch Executive using the drag-and-drop method.
  6. Download the Physical Network. 
  7. Start the Batch Executive.
  8. Copy the process graphics, as described in the next exercise.
    Note

    To be able to charge the blenders with base and color, you might need to check the equipment IDs for several of your modules (XV_COLOR_500, XV_COLOR_600, COLOR_HEADER, and BASE_HEADER) and then edit the logic in the CHG_COLOR, CHG_BASE, and DUMP phases to match the actual equipment IDs assigned to your modules.
