This document describes and shows a basic example of implementing recipe handling features in Crimson.
CR Series HMI / G3 Series HMI / G3 Kadet HMI / Graphite® HMI / Modular Controller / DA Series Data Station (excludes DA10) / Data Station Plus / ProducTVity Station
Recipe handling provides the ability to load, retrieve, and save multiple parameters that are related to each other.
Crimson 2.0, Crimson 3.0, or Crimson 3.1
NOTE: Retentive data is saved 3 minutes after powerup, and then every 6 minutes thereafter. Using the CommitAndReset() function will allow the user to force a save to the retentive memory, but it will also reboot the unit.
Milk = recMilk[recNum];
Eggs = recEggs[recNum];
Sugar = recSugar[recNum];
recMilk[recNum] = Milk;
recEggs[recNum] = Eggs;
recSugar[recNum] = Sugar;
NOTE: Translate the programs after modifying the code, or they will not execute.
Use the recNum data entry field to select a recipe. Once a recipe is selected the recipe values could be edited using the data entry fields, sent to the external device using the Send button, or read back from the device using the Save button.
The page that contains the data entry fields for the recipe data could be password protected, the same similar pages could be created for the Send and Save buttons. String tags could also be used to name each recipe.
Programs could be written to read and write the recipe data to and from the unit’s memory card. The database attached at the bottom of this article contains a basic example of a program such as this.
