Recipe Directories
Recipes created in the operator panel can be saved in different recipe directories
(folders) in the operator panel’s memory or on an external memory card if it is used
in the operator panel. The use of recipe directories ensures a better structure and
easier handling of recipes in applications with a large number of recipes. It is possible
to create 32 different recipe directories in one level. Recipe directories are saved under
the directory RECIPE in the root directory in the operator panel’s memory. A recipe
directory is linked to one or more blocks under block properties for the block. All
recipes created in the block will then be saved in the selected recipe directory.
For information about saving individual recipes to and external memory card, either
created from the operator panel or from the controller program, see section Saving
Individual Recipes on an External Memory Card in Runtime.
Recipe directories are created, edited and deleted by double-clicking on Setup of
recipe signals in the Project Manager. Defined recipe directories are shown in a list,
according to the structure in the directory. New recipe directories are added by
clicking the button Add Directory. The name of recipe directories has to consist of
1-32 characters. The first character must be a letter or digit, and can only contain the
characters A-Z, 0-9 and _. However, when using the MCRD# command, the char-
acter # may also be used.
See the section Saving Individual Recipes on an External Memory Card in Runtime.
Change a recipe directory by selecting it and clicking Edit. Click Delete to delete the
selected recipe directories.
Recipe Directories in the Operator Panel
Recipe directories can be created and deleted with the functions Make recipe
directory and Delete recipe directory, linked to function keys or touch keys, when
the operator panel is running. With the function Change recipe directory for func-
tion keys or touch keys it is possible to change/select recipe directories for the current
block. A list of options for available recipe directories is shown when the function key
or touch key for Change recipe directory is pressed. Select one and press [ENTER].
The recipe in the block will now be saved in the selected recipe directory.
See the section Function Keys for further information.
Recipe handling between operator panel and PC is performed with the program
HMI Tools File Transfer and HMI Tools FTP Client. See the section Using Recipes
in a PC and the manual for HMI Tools.
Note:
Recipe directories created in the configuration tool cannot be deleted with a function
key or touch key linked to the function Delete recipe directory.
