Recipe File Format
The recipe file saved to the SD memory card is a CSV file.
The set data is written on one row.
If the data type is float, the decimal symbol follows CSV File Format in Function Area Settings > External Memory tab. For
details, see "External Memory Devices" on page 5-47.
The following shows recipe file examples.
File Format Details
• Write only one item of data (device value) on each row.
• A maximum of 40 characters can be converted from the start of the row.
• If the recipe data conversion fails when writing the recipe, the corresponding device value is 0.
• "0x" or "0X" does not need to be added to hexadecimal values. For example, "1234" and "0x1234" will be the same value "1234h (decimal
4660)".
• When writing float values in exponent notation, do so in a format such as "-12.3E+01". Write "+" or "-" immediately after "E". Write the
number of digits for the exponent as 2-digit decimal value. Operation outside of these rules is undefined.
