Recipe Function
1.3 Data Configuration
The relationship between the Recipe function settings and the data for recipes is as follows.
1. Number of blocks:
The operation using the data for recipes is configured in blocks (0 to 64). 1 block is 16 channels.
2. Channels: Destination device addresses and recipe values are configured in channels. 1 channel is used
for 1 item of data for the recipe.
3. Amount of data: The amount of data configured for one channel. The maximum amount of data that can be
configured is 8192.
4. Top Device Address: The start address of the destination device addresses for recipe values and the source device
addresses for values of device addresses.
5. Data: The values to write to the device addresses.

Data for recipes
If there are many word devices for the data for the recipe, it will take time to read and write them. For
example, when using the Recipe function to configure initial values, if other processes are executed before
the function is finished writing all the settings, you may experience unexpected results. Monitor System
Area 2 Transferring recipe bit (address number+3, bit4) while the recipe is trans
ferring and wait until
reading and writing the data for the recipe is finished before executing other processes. For details, refer to
C
hapter 4 “System Area” on page 4-30.
If Float32(F) is selected for Data Type on the Channel tab, the values of device addresses that were
read are saved to the recipe file in the floating point type. However, when a value that was read is 8 digits or
larger, it is saved in the exponential type.
