The following actions on recipes are possible:
Create recipe
(=Add a new Recipe) A new recipe will be created in the specified recipe definition.
Read recipe The current values of the variables of the specified recipe definition will be read
from the controller and be "written" to the specified recipe. This means that the
values will be stored implicitly (in a file on the PLC) and also immediately will be
monitored in the recipe definition table in the »PLC Designer« Recipe Manager. In
other words: The recipe managed in the Recipe Manager gets updated with the
actual values from the PLC.
Write recipe The values of the given recipe, as visible in the Recipe Manager, will be written to
the variables on the PLC.
Save recipe The values of the specified recipe will be written to a file with extension
*.txtrecipe, the name of which you have to define. For this purpose the standard
dialog for saving a file in the local file system will open.
ATTENTION: The implicitly used recipe files, necessary as a buffer for reading and
writing of the recipe values, may not overwritten. This means that the name for
the new recipe file must be different from "<recipe name>.<recipe definition
name>.txtrecipe" !
The values of the given recipe will be written to a file, which automatically gets
named like the recipe.
Load recipe
The recipe which has been stored in a file (see above "Save recipe") can be
reloaded from this file. The standard dialog for browsing for a file will open for
this purpose. The filter automatically is set to extension "*.txtrecipe". After
reloading the file, the recipe values will accordingly be updated in the »PLC
Designer« Recipe Manager.
Delete recipe
(=Remove recipes) The specified recipe will be removed from the recipe definition.
Change recipe The value of the project variables can be changed. So with a following write
recipe action the appropriate project variables are written with the new values.
