Recipes
Recipes consist of combinations of tags for a specific application. The purpose
of recipes is to transfer several items of data collectively to the PLC. This
transfer requires synchronization between the touch screen and the PLC.
The data structure is defined with the data record in the configuration. Data is
assigned to the structure on the Touch Panel. This data structure (recipe) can be
used more than once and different data can be assigned to it. We refer to data
records to which data has been assigned as “data records”. Data records are
stored on the Touch Panel. This saves memory space on the PLC.
The same bottling machine of a fruit juice filling system is to be used to
produce orange nectar, an orange drink and orange juice. The mixing ratios are
different for each drink, though the ingredients are always the same. The
production details are configured in this example as the “Mixture” recipe.
