Find the SIMATIC BATCH V9.0 Getting Started Sample Project

The SIMATIC BATCH V9.0 Getting Started guide identifies the sample multiproject as SBGS_MP.zip and the associated recipe database as sb_gs1_b.sbb; Siemens makes both available from the guide's “About” download area. The older zEn33_01.zip filename belongs to earlier BATCH training material. Use the package and software prerequisites for the exact Getting Started release.

The V9.0 sample package

For the SIMATIC BATCH V9.0 Getting Started project, Siemens' official manual identifies the archived multiproject as SBGS_MP.zip and its recipe database as sb_gs1_b.sbb. It says both files are available from the “About” button on the Siemens Industry Online Support page for that Getting Started guide. This is different from the zEn33_01.zip name found in older BATCH training material.

Download the release-matched files

Open the Siemens support page for SIMATIC BATCH V9.0 Getting Started, Entry ID 109781909. 2. Use the page's “About” download area to retrieve both SBGS_MP.zip and sb_gs1_b.sbb. 3. Follow the guide's release prerequisites: its V9.0 example specifies PCS 7 V9.0 SP2 UC03 with PCS 7 Engineering, BATCH Single Station, OS Single Station, SIMATIC Logon V1.6 Update 1, and S7-PLCSIM V5.4 SP8. 4. Copy both downloads to the documented local example folder, ..\SIEMENS\STEP7\examples. 5. Retrieve the archived multiproject in SIMATIC Manager as described in the guide; keep the provided recipe database with the project.

Why zEn33_01 may not appear in the current examples folder

zEn33_01.zip is used in older SIMATIC BATCH Getting Started documentation, while the V9.0 guide uses SBGS_MP.zip. Therefore, searching the STEP 7 examples directory or PCS 7 installation media for the older filename may not locate the V9.0 training project. Match the sample package to the installed BATCH/PCS 7 release rather than renaming a different archive.

Verification

After retrieval, confirm both files are present and nonzero, use the matching guide to retrieve SBGS_MP in SIMATIC Manager, and verify that the expected Kitchen training project opens. Use the associated sb_gs1_b.sbb recipe database where the guide specifies it. Do not run the example project against a live plant.

Limitations and Operational Precautions

The V9.0 guide's stated prerequisite stack is specific to its sample. A project may not be suitable for another PCS 7 or BATCH release without a documented migration path. Direct access to the large manual PDF was blocked by the web verification tool, although Siemens' indexed official manual text exposed the package names and prerequisites; check the support page and applicable local guide before relying on the steps. A sample multiproject is for training and simulation, not a production project.

Engineer FAQ

What file name should I search for in the BATCH V9.0 guide? Siemens lists SBGS_MP.zip, paired with sb_gs1_b.sbb.

Where are the files downloaded? The guide says both are available from the “About” button on its Siemens Industry Online Support page.

Is zEn33_01.zip the V9.0 project? The V9.0 guide instead names SBGS_MP.zip; older Getting Started documents use zEn33_01.zip.

Which software baseline does the V9.0 sample specify? PCS 7 V9.0 SP2 UC03 with the named engineering, BATCH, OS, SIMATIC Logon, and PLCSIM components listed in the guide.

Can the sample be downloaded from DVD1 or DVD2? The guide directs users to the support page's “About” download area, rather than requiring the archive to be found on the installation DVDs.
