Recipe screen
A recipe screen allows the correlation between the plant and the recipe data to be displayed
in graphic form. The configuration engineer combines I/O fields and screen objects to form a
custom input screen. The configuration engineer can distribute the I/O fields of a recipe over
several recipe screens, thus allowing recipe elements to be arranged by subject. The recipe
screen can be operated using buttons configured accordingly.
The following figure shows an example of the recipe screen.

① Element name and associated values
The element name designates a specific element in the recipe data record
② Buttons for editing a recipe data record
③ Modified recipe view
④ Buttons for transferring recipe data
The values displayed or entered in the recipe screen are saved in recipe tags. The recipe
values are exchanged with the PLC immediately or later via these tags.
A configured recipe view can itself be a component of a recipe screen. You must
synchronize the tags in order to synchronize data between the tags of the recipe screen
and the recipe data records displayed in the recipe view. Synchronization of tags is only
possible in the enhanced recipe view.
Further information on this may be available in your plant documentation.
