13.4 Recipe Functions
Recipe Number -
The gray field on top shows the currently
active recipe number.
Recipe Name -
The blue field underneath shows the currently
active recipe name associated to the number. By default, the
recipe name is Recipe followed by the number. It can be set by
a level 2 operator on the recipe management page.
Select Recipe -
Pressing this button opens a screen for the operator to choose a preconfigured
recipe. When the machine is powered up, it will recall the recipe and all changed settings that were
present when it was powered down. This makes recovery from power outages as simple as possible.
(See Recipe Select Screen)
Edit Running Recipe
- The next button, which looks like a piece of paper and pencil, is the Edit
Running Recipe button. Pressing this button opens the screens to change all of the settings of the
currently running recipe. The cut parameter, on-demand blade speed and count setup values on this
page are part of the recipe. They are made available on this page for quick access. There are some
items in the recipe that can be changed by the level 1 operator and others require a level 2 operator
but all items are visible to both. (See Current Recipe Screen)
Save Recipe -
The next button that looks like a floppy disc is used to save the recipe. It is visible to
level 2 and higher operators. If the recipe hasn't changed, it will appear grey and will not function. If
there is a change to the running recipe from what is currently saved, it
will appear blue and pressing it will open the following popup screen
where the operator can save the recipe under the current number by
pressing "Yes" or save it as a different recipe number by pressing
"Save As". To cancel the recipe save, they can press "No".
Special Manual/Default Recipe
- There is a special recipe that is used when the operator wants to
manually enter in recipe values without accidentally overwriting an existing recipe. They can recall
this "Default" recipe when they go to the recipe select screen. The recipe number will show as 0 and
the title will be "Manual". This recipe cannot be saved over so it remains constant. It is set to have
good known starting values for setting up a new product. (See Recipe Select Screen)
