Note: This functionality is only available if supported by the currently used feature
set.
The 'Recipe Manager' plug-in provides the functionality for handling user-defined lists
of project variables, named "Recipe Definitions" and definite value sets for these
variables within a recipe definition, named "Recipes". Recipes can be used for setting
and watching control parameters on the PLC. For this purpose they can be read from
and written to the PLC and be loaded to and saved from files. These interactions are
possible via visualization elements which must have been configured appropriately.
If the recipe manager is located on another PLC than the application being concerned
by the recipes, the data server will be used to read/write the recipes. Reading and
writing is done synchronously, that is, all variables contained in a recipe are updated at
the same time. By calling g_RecipeManager.LastError after reading/writing you may
check if the transmission has been carried out successfully
(g_RecipeManager.LastError=0 in this case).
The Recipe Manager is a resource object to be added via command 'Add Object' in the
Devices view below an application.
One or several Recipe Definition objects can be assigned to a Recipe Manager object,
also by command 'Add Object'. Recipe definitions including the particular recipes then
can be edited in a separate editor window. See the Recipe Definition help page for
further information, also on how to handle the recipes in online mode.
The Recipe Manager dialog provides the following tabs:
