Before you begin

The general purpose of a recipe system is to allow the user to read and write a set of values
to/from a set of tags in a single operation. The ingredient data values of the recipe are saved into
the recipe file and can be downloaded to/uploaded from a controller in a single action. A single
recipe can contain up to 15 000 ingredients. The recipe file can also be restored into the
RecipePlus Table during runtime to view the ingredient data values from the recipe.

The RecipePlus Table is also used to modify the recipe data values during runtime. The
RecipePlus Table can be set as view-only to prevent modifications during runtime.

During runtime the values of the data set and tag set can be compared. Moreover, the recipe
system can also be used to compare two configured recipes or compare a data set pair or a tag
set pair of a single recipe.

About this lab

In this lab you will learn how to create recipe systems and their components, and how to use
them during runtime.

The recipe you will be creating is for a Hot Sauce manufacturing firm.

You will be designing for operators that will be required to input information about the Hot Sauce
being manufactured. Depending on the spice level of the sauce the ingredient data will be saved
in three different tag sets of the recipe. The ingredient recipe information is then downloaded to a
tag set in the controller and is used to animate the manufacturing process.

This lab will take approximately 1 hour to complete.

Tools & prerequisites

o Windows 2000 or Windows XP computer

Configuring RecipePlus Tags

Recipes have two tag settings that are used to determine the results of various recipe operations
during runtime.

The first tag is called the Status Tag and it shows the results of download and upload operations.
The result status of these operations can be ‘start’, ‘successful’ or ‘with errors’.

The second tag is called the Percent Complete Tag. The recipe system writes to this tag during
any recipe download/upload operation to show what percent of ingredients currently being
processed have been completed.

Configuring the RecipePlus components

RecipePlus feature allows users to read/write a set of values to a set of tags in a single operation.
The RecipePlus can also be used to compare two recipes and determine their difference.

The RecipePlus consists of several components:

• RecipePlus Setup – used to specify whether recipe files will be a part of the HMI project
or not, and where the files will be stored for retrieval at run time.

• RecipePlus Editor – used to create and edit the recipe files by specifying the ingredients
of the recipe, the data sets, the tag sets and the recipe units. The editor can also be used
to compare data sets and tag sets within a single recipe.

• RecipePlus table object – used to display, modify and save the contents of a recipe at
run time. The table also shows the differences between the recipe data values and the
tags associated with the recipe (i.e. data set and tag set)

• RecipePlus button object – used to initiate recipe operations at run time (i.e. download,
upload, upload and create, save, restore)

• RecipePlus selector object – used to select from a list of created recipes
