1 Introducing RSBizWare BatchCampaign

Welcome to RSBizWare™ BatchCampaign™, the application that makes batch campaign

management fast and simple. BatchCampaign allows you to execute your production schedules quickly and easily, thus increasing productivity and reducing errors.

BatchCampaign is a 32-bit Windows®-based software application from Rockwell Automation, Inc. that creates and manages campaigns. A campaign is defined as a connected series of operations designed to bring about a particular result, such as meeting a production order request or fulfilling a customer order. A campaign may consist of one or more batches and is designed to manage and execute the batches according to your specified scheduling requirements.

BatchCampaign is tightly integrated with the FactoryTalk® Batch suite, providing complete control of batch-based production runs. Using a straightforward user interface, production requirements are entered, and BatchCampaign translates the information into either a single batch or complete campaign runs. BatchCampaign has a variety of triggers for batch execution, allowing you to choose the method that will best fit your production requirements.

RSBIZWARE BATCHCAMPAIGN USERS GUIDE

Common User Assistance Folder

Starting with version 9.0, all Rockwell applications will install their user assistance files (online help, user documentation PDF files, and release notes) in a common folder located at \Program Files\Common Files\Rockwell\Help. This gives you one central location to find information and allows interaction between different products’ user assistance files.

The BatchCampaign online help files will no longer be stored in the \Program Files\Rockwell Software\BatchCampaign\Help folder. The first Rockwell Automation, Inc. product installed on a computer creates the common folder. When a product is uninstalled, the user assistance associated with that application are also removed, but the \Help folder is not removed unless the product being uninstalled is the last Rockwell Automation product on the computer. The last Rockwell Automation product removed from the computer removes the common folder and all remaining user assistance files.

RSBizWare BatchCampaign Features

Flexible batch/campaign creation

Add individual batches – you can specify the size of each batch in the campaign.

Create campaigns with multiple batches – you can automatically generate the campaign of batches using the quantity/size or a value in between that is applied to all batches in the campaign.

Human interface Allows you to dynamically view the state of FactoryTalk Batch Servers and their associated batches and campaigns. The user interface also allows you to start, stop, abort, hold, and restart an individual batch in the campaign.

Flexible batch execution Gives you complete flexibility in how you run your process. You can choose to execute campaigns automatically from BatchCampaign, or have the FactoryTalk Batch View or ActiveX® controls as the primary interface for executing and commanding batches. Using either of these methods, you can:

Start each batch individually.

Start all the batches in the campaign simultaneously.

Automatic batch execution

You can configure a start trigger, which starts a batch or campaign automatically at a predetermined time.

You can configure batches to start immediately.

You can configure start triggers, which automatically start the next batch in a campaign upon completion of the currently executing batch.

1 Introducing RSBizWare BatchCampaign

• • • • •

Multi-server capability Allows BatchCampaign to work with multiple FactoryTalk Batch Servers, and start batches/campaigns on one server based upon state (complete, started, etc.) of a batch/campaign on another server.

State transitions The batches can easily be started, stopped, held, restarted, and aborted.

Batch list population Adds batches to the FactoryTalk Batch Server according to the specified number of batches that operators should be able to see on the batch list at any time. As an example, if there were 15 batches in a given campaign, the Batch List Count is configured for 5, and there are already 5 or more completed, aborted, or stopped batches on the Server’s Batch list, then some of these batches must be removed from the batch list before new batches will be automatically moved from the campaign onto the FactoryTalk Batch View list.

Campaign and Batch ID configuration capability Gives you the ability to specify a user algorithm for generating campaign and batch ID. A default algorithm is provided that generates a batch ID based upon current date and time.

Unit Binding Unit classes can be bound from the BatchCampaign Human Interface.

Security You may choose to require a logon and password protection for access to the BatchCampaign interface.

System requirements

This section presents the minimum and recommended system requirements to successfully install and run RSBizWare BatchCampaign.

Anti-Virus software

All Rockwell Software products in this release have been tested using the latest anti-virus software. For more detailed information, refer to Rockwell Knowledgebase technical note ID 35330 (you may be required to log into the Knowledgebase before you can view the information)

DEP settings

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that is supported by both hardware and software and intended to prevent the execution of malicious code in the Microsoft Windows XP (Service Pack 2) and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (Service Pack 1 and R2) operating systems.

The DEP settings determine which applications and components are covered by DEP protection. They apply to both hardware-supported and software DEP features. On computers with the necessary hardware capabilities, hardware-supported DEP features are enabled for the same set of applications and components as the software DEP features. The following table explains the possible DEP settings and if those settings are supported by Rockwell Software products.

Rockwell Software recommends that you use the default DEP settings unless you have a specific reason to change them.

 

 

Supported by Rockwell

RSBIZWARE BATCHCAMPAIGN USERS GUIDE

Changing DEP settings

To change the DEP settings, select Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance Settings > Data Execution Prevention. The Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only setting corresponds to the OptIn setting and the Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select setting corresponds to the

OptOut setting.

You must be an administrator of your computer to change these settings.

You must reboot the computer for the DEP setting changes to take effect.

Hardware DEP settings

Hardware DEP uses the processor to mark memory so that code cannot be executed from data regions. When code attempts to execute in these marked areas, the processor generates an exception. If you are using Microsoft Windows XP (Service Pack 2) or Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (Service Pack 1 and R2) operating systems, the offending program is terminated. Hardware DEP is also enabled as the factory default setting. This feature is turned on or off in the computer BIOS settings.

To determine if your hardware supports DEP, refer to the hardware manual or contact your hardware manufacturer.

For additional information, see the Microsoft Knowledgebase article at: http:// support.microsoft.com/kb/875352.

RSBIZWARE BATCHCAMPAIGN USERS GUIDE

Pre-Installation Procedures

The following instructions assume that the FactoryTalk Batch client components have already been installed, and that at least one FactoryTalk Batch Server has been installed (not necessarily on the same computer). You must have administrative privileges on the target computer to install BatchCampaign. Before installing BatchCampaign, complete the following:

Install SQL Server 2005 (Optional)

If you are planning on storing recipes in RDB format, install Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Service Pack 1. SQL Server 2005 services must be running during the installation process.

Restart the computer after the SQL Server installation is complete.

Identify Batch Server Name

The setup program prompts you for the domain level user account and password asks for the computer name where the FactoryTalk Batch Server is installed.

Log On to Windows

Log on to Windows® Server 2003 R2, Standard Edition or Windows XP Service Pack 2 with administrator privileges. Close any open applications.

Install FactoryTalk Activation

FactoryTalk Activation must be installed prior to installing the FactoryTalk Batch software. Therefore, the following section assumes that both FactoryTalk Activation and the FactoryTalk Batch Server are installed and that you have obtained an activation code for BatchCampaign.

The FactoryTalk Activation Server must be installed on the same network or on the same computer as the FactoryTalk Batch Server. Each Batch Server computer must have the FactoryTalk Activation Client installed for license validation to occur.

Refer to the Activate Rockwell Software Products brochure, located in your software package. RSBizWare BatchCampaign uses concurrent activation.

Install RSBizWare BatchCampaign

These instructions assume that you are installing RSBizWare BatchCampaign on a computer networked with other client computers and that you are installing BatchCampaign on the same computer as the Batch client components. You can exit

installation at any time by clicking the Cancel button. Before you begin the installation, complete all the pre-installation procedures.

The following steps assume that FactoryTalk Activation was installed before the Batch Server. If you find that you do need to install FactoryTalk Activation, please refer to the Activate Rockwell Software Products brochure, located in your product package, for instructions.

1.Insert the installation CD into the CD-ROM drive. The CD has the Autorun feature enabled so the installation process starts automatically. The RSBizWare Welcome dialog box opens.

2.Click Install RSBizWare BatchCampaign. The RSBizWare BatchCampaign Install Disk dialog box opens.

To start the installation process manually, click the Start button, and then select Run. In the Run dialog box, type d:\setup (where d is the drive letter for the CD-ROM drive), and then click OK.

If the installation program detects an existing FactoryTalk Batch installation, it may give you the option of modifying or repairing the current installation. Do not select Repair or Modify - these are not supported options. You must remove the existing version of the software before installing the upgrade.

Configure RSBizWare BatchCampaign

The first time you run BatchCampaign, an Error! dialog box displays. This occurs because a server and database have not yet been configured for BatchCampaign.

1.Click the Start button, point to All Programs > Rockwell Software >FactoryTalk Batch Suite > BatchCampaign, and then select BatchCampaign.

2.Click OK to continue. BatchCampaign opens.

3.Click the Log In button, type a valid user name and password, and then click OK. (See “Logging on to RSBizWare BatchCampaign” for more information.)

Configure the Database

BatchCampaign stores configuration information and buffered batches in a Microsoft Access database (BatchCampaign.mdf) in its root folder. You do not need to install Microsoft SQL Server if you use this database. If SQL Server is part of your FactoryTalk Batch solution you can configure BatchCampaign to store its configuration information and buffered batches in a SQL database. You must specify the SQL Server and the name of the database prior to any other configuration or configure BatchCampaign to use the Access database.

4.On the Provider tab, select the database type you want to connect with from the OLE DB providers list. The provider you select will affect the options listed on the Connection tab. The most popular providers are:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider (preferred) for SQL Server – used by RSBizWare Batch 5.xx and higher (and FactoryTalk Batch 9.0 and higher) because it uses the SQL Server database for recipes. This provider is also the choice used for the BatchCampaign database, if SQL Server is installed. (See “Data Link Properties” for more information.)

Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider – used by the supplied Access database.

5.Select the applicable Microsoft OLE DB provider, and then click the Next button. The

Connection tab opens.

If you chose the Microsoft OLE DB provider for SQL Server as your provider your

Connection tab will look similar to this:

In this example, MasterRecipes is the selected database. This is the database used to store recipes if the “Store recipes as in a database” option is selected in the FactoryTalk Batch Equipment Editor. BatchCampaign will create the required tables in this database or any other database selected.
