DeltaV 14.3 Simulate Standalone: Unable to run recipes in BOI Error Message "cannot communicate to phase logic (Unsol)"

Please note We have a working DeltaV configuration that is in great shape and running awesome on the Plant system. However when we import this configuration to our simulation system, the status of the Phase Server Status (DeltaV) is always BAD. (screenshot below). I am not sure why all those phases are showing up as Bad because on the Production System they are perfectly Ok. I have imported other databases and I had the same issue. I have created brand new databases and still the same problem. All the phases have been verified and have no errors. I am not sure whether DeltaV V14.3 Standalone Simulate allows to run and simulate Recipe. Initially I thought it could be licensing issue however on license verification, it says "OK" for current configuration.

 Procedure we followed

  1. Create a brand new database V14.3 
  2. Import Batch Configuration
  3. Assign the Unit and Its modules & phases to a Node. (Download Unit & Phases)
  4. Enable the Batch Executive and assign the area associated with that Node. (Download Batch Executive, Download Equipment,, Download Unit and all associated Phases again)
  5. Start the batch executive and DeltaV Phase server Status is always "BAD". (screenshot attached)

FYI: I also created a 14.3.1 system. There is no difference, still get the same issue.

Edit following answer/solution: 

In the ProPlus, open the D:\DeltaV\DVData\Download\USERT.scr file in Notepad. Check if DVBATCHADMIN account is present. If the account is present, check if the user is disabled or locked out (in Computer Manager>Local Users and Groups if in a workgroup, Active Directory Users and Computers if in a domain).

If it is missing, perform the following:

  1. From Database Administration of Proplus, create a new blank database.
  2. Make that blank database the Active one, then create a FHX export from DeltaV Explorer.
  3. Make your old database Active in Database Administration.
  4. Import the blank database on top of your current database. Download setup data the ProPlus.
  5. It will re-populate the missing DVBATCHADMIN account.

  • Dear MAXIM,

    Please check your license, the unit management license is mandatory to run Batch and related units.
    Kind regards
