Operation Using a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)

Write Recipe

The Write Recipe command allows users to configure an entire recipe remotely. See Recipe Screen, page 72, for more details on recipes and recipe parameters. The return registers will echo the arguments received.

NOTE: The recipe must be enabled via the ADM before it can be loaded for mixing.

Example: Configure Recipe 6 for Color = 2, Catalyst = 1, Color Flush Sequence = 2, Catalyst Flush Sequence = 3, Mix Ratio Set Point = 1.50:1, and Potlife = 10 minutes.
