This version is primarily focused on stability and minor features. Several stability improvements and bug fixes have been incorporated in the Configuration Editors, Report Viewer, and Report File Creation.
In addition, corrections were integrated for data synchronization between the operating stations.
In order to install this version, please use the “BatchXpert Installation Center“
Reports
To improve reliability and reporting, we have introduced the concept of “Report Tags.” These tags can be assigned to any step and/or parameter of the Recipe, and can then be easily referenced in any report. This eliminates the need to specify “Step and Phase” numbers to create reports.
The old ‘Step and Phase’ number reporting interface is still fully supported.
HMI
To improve alarm recognition in the HMI, we have introduced a new line of alarms that allows the user to much more easily distinguish between alarm messages and operational messages.
This new line of alarms is combined with the new VisXpert “Alarm Line” module, which can now be used in projects.
Configuration
We have simplified the management of “Unit Procedures” based on user feedback, which indicated that this should be improved.
“Unit Procedures” are now much more accessible and easily editable from the “Recipes” editor, which made the option to edit “Unit Procedure” in the “Process Classes” tree structure redundant.
In order to compare not only recipes but also the configuration of Process classes, we have added an option to create a “Diff” for Process configurations.
This allows you to compare two configured Process classes with each other and find any differences that may exist.
This is very useful for updating deployed applications with engineering data, to check if any changes have occurred on-site during engineering.
the option to set the IP addresses of “VisXpert SCADA” for the connected process controllers to the IP address configuration set in the BatchXpert settings.
This eliminates the need to manually keep these settings synchronized.
