Changing Values with Recipes

You use recipes to change or read out the values for a certain set of variables (recipe definitions) on the controller at the same time.

The basic settings for the recipes such as storage location and format are defined in the object Recipe Manager. Below this object you add one or more recipe definitions. A Recipe Definition encompasses one or more recipes for the variables contained in it. The recipe consists of certain variable values.

You can save the recipes in files or write them directly from files into the controller.

Recipes can be loaded via the TwinCAT programming interface, via visualization elements or via the application program.

For the use of recipes in your application program it is recommended to call this program section via its own task with low priority.
