What is a Recipe
Introduction
Each recipe consists of 1 to 50 Variables and carries its own unique recipe number and a descriptive name
for identification. The selected Operator Variable Names were assigned during the Function Block
Diagram Configuration.
It is possible to edit the setting of any recipe Variable through the Recipe Setup display at the operator
interface. This means that an operator can adjust individual ingredient amounts in the recipe; but the
ingredients (item’s Variable Name), the order of the ingredients, and the recipe’s number and name are
under configuration control.
Recipe attributes
A recipe is a list of Variables with settings that define the ingredients needed to make a product or run a
particular batch. This can include stored setpoint profiles selected by a variable number 1 through 70
[see Using Recipes to Download Setpoint Profiles (page 182)]. The items represent Analog and/or Digital
Operator Points that were assigned in the Function Block Configuration and are identified by their Variable
Names. Recipes have these basic attributes:
• Recipe Number
• Recipe Name
• Recipe Variables
• Adjustable Settings
Figure 49 is a summary of Recipe attributes. Table 45 is a description of Recipe attributes.
