Chapter 3 Creating and Editing Screens
3.11.7 Recipe
The Recipe function provides the controller a convenient parameter input method. The
user can transmit the designated parameter to the controller by using HMI recipe after
finishing editing recipe. Bread making is an example. When making different bread, baking
time control is very important. The user can use Recipe function to meet th e different time
requirements for making different bread. The purpose of this function is to reduce the
loading of the controller and make the register of the controller to be more flexible in use.
Recipe function provides an easy and quick parameter input method for the connected
controller. When completing the recipe editing, the user just needs to use the recipe
register in control block and the designated corresponding parameters can be t ransmitted
into the internal memory addresses of the controller.
The recipe can be set and modified through the recipe dialog box and can be saved and
used independently without the project, allowing recipes to be used for all brands of
models. In addition, the recipes can be saved in Windows Excel CSV file for the user to edit
recipes more quickly. Before using a recipe, the user should enable the recipe function first
by selecting Options > Recipe. After the recipe function is enabled, the Recipe Setup
dialog box pops up and the user can start to edit the recipe.
