About Recipe Configuration
The total number of recipes that can be configured depends on the size of your
database. For details of database sizing, see the Installation Guide.
For each recipe, the following attributes can be configured:
• Recipe title
• Scale factor for recipe ingredients (This can be specified by an operator.)
• Descriptors of the units to be loaded with the recipe (This can be specified
by an operator.)
• Up to 30 ingredients (If more than 30 ingredients are required, you can
chain recipes together.)
For each ingredient, the following attributes can be configured:
• Partial ID of the point to be loaded (leaving out the 2-character unit prefix)
• Parameter into which the value is to be loaded (usually a set point)
• Description of the ingredient of action that it represents
• Master value - the usual value that is loaded
• Maximum value - the maximum value that can be loaded
• Minimum value - the minimum value that can be loaded
• Working value - the actual value to be loaded (can be specified by an
operator)
• Whether or not the value is scaled
After a recipe has been configured, operators can start the process by “loading”
the recipe. For details, see the Operators Guide.
You can use custom displays to monitor the progress of a loaded recipe. Custom
displays can show the point parameter values that are used to control the
production. For details on how to build custom displays, see the Display Building
Guide.
To configure recipes, you need to be using Station at a security level of SUPV or
higher. (Security levels are described in “Configuring Security and Access” on
page 209.)
