Recipe Retrieve Widget

Used by:  Recipe Book Tag

* Does not use the Style Settings tag.

The user interface for building, managing and running recipes is provided by the The Recipe Page. You are advised to use this rather than attempt to build a custom UI with the component widgets.

Operators can use the Retrieve button widget to read the current values of recipe ingredients from a PLC. This will query the PLC to which the selected Recipe Book is connected. If no values are available, matching the ingredients in the Recipe Book, all recipe values will be set to blank.

This tool may be useful to let the operator know what ingredient values were last being used in the PLC.

 

If the "Recipe Name" Ingredient tag has an address, that value will be read out of the PLC as well and will be shown in the recipes droplist. This lets the operator know what recipe the PLC was last running. The same is true for the Ingredient tag, "Recipe Version".

Each Recipe Book tag contains internal variables to keep track of the current recipe and current version. Every widget linked to a Recipe Book will refer to those variables, using the same current recipe and version for its operation.
Use the Recipe Selector Widget and Recipe Version Widget to choose which recipe and version should be current.
