Preserving Data with Recipes

Variables are managed persistently in the Recipe Manager. The Recipe Manager does not need any special memory on the controller in order to preserve values and data.

Declaration

A recipe definition consists of a set of variables with values and is created and edited in the Recipe Manager object and saved to a file.

Functionality

  • You can include a variable in multiple recipes, each with different values.

  • In online mode, you can read in the actual values of the variables from the controller and save them as recipe values (specified value).

  • You can use the Recipe Management library to programmatically implement the creation and editing of a recipe.

  • You can save and backup a recipe as a recipe file.
