Overview
The basic software for all SIMATIC BATCH system configurations 
(single stations or client/server systems) is the SIMATIC BATCH 
Server Basic Package, configured with 
• Batch server software for 10 units (instances of plant units)
• 1 x SIMATIC BATCH BatchCC (Batch Control Center)
• 1 x SIMATIC BATCH Recipe System (recipe editor)
The basic software is always required. It provides everything 
needed to implement a small SIMATIC BATCH project on the 
hardware of a SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX 416, a single station or a 
client/server configuration consisting of a batch client and a 
batch server. It also includes the SIMATIC Logon for central user 
administration with access control and for the electronic signa-
ture.
Design
The capacity of the SIMATIC BATCH server basic packages can 
be expanded by SIMATIC BATCH PO options and PowerPacks. 
An appropriate number of SIMATIC BATCH BatchCC und 
SIMATIC BATCH Recipe System option packages is needed to 
expand the client/server configuration with additional batch cli-
ents. The functions of SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX 416, single stations, 
batch clients and batch servers can be expanded using the fol-
lowing optional packages (see table).

SIMATIC BATCH works closely with the operator system and 
communicates through the operator system with the automation 
systems. For small plants, SIMATIC BATCH can therefore be 
installed together with the OS software on a single station or a 
SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX 416. The ordering data for the OS software 
can be found in the Chapter "Operator system".
