Page 187: Operating Recipes
Operating recipes 10.1 Recipes Overview Recipes are a collection of associated data, e.g. machine configuration or production data. You can transfer this data from the HMI device to the controller in a single step in order to change the production variant. If you have programmed directly at the machine you can transfer the data to your HMI device and write it to the recipe.
Page 188 Operating recipes 10.1 Recipes Recipe view The recipe view is a screen object that is configured in the "Screens" editor. You can specify what operating function the recipe view will have in Runtime. The recipe view shows recipe data records in tabular form. The recipe view is particularly useful if data records are small in size or if only a few values are to be modified.
Page 189: Structure Of Recipes
Operating recipes 10.2 Structure of recipes 10.2 Structure of recipes Introduction A product often has several variants. Product variants can differ with respect to size or quality. This condition is accurately reflected in a recipe. Principle A recipe consists of recipe data records containing values. The structure of a recipe is explained using the example of a filing cabinet.

Operating recipes 10.3 Structure of recipe data records 10.3 Structure of recipe data records Introduction A recipe data record corresponds to a file card in an individual drawer and thus to a single product variant. If the fruit juice mixing plant is producing juice, nectar, and fruit drinks, you would then create a recipe data record in the recipe for each product variant.

Operating recipes 10.4 Recipe application Editing recipe data records You can edit recipe data records during configuration or in runtime on the HMI device. • During configuration, you can define recipes in the "Recipes" editor in the "Elements" tab. You can enter values in the recipe data records in the "Data records" tab. •...
Page 192: Configuration Of Recipes
Operating recipes 10.4 Recipe application The HMI device stores recipe data records on a storage medium such as a flash memory device or hard disk. You can edit a recipe data record in a recipe view or recipe screen on the HMI device display.
Page 193 Operating recipes 10.4 Recipe application These configuration settings are made under "Settings" in the property view: Configuration 1: Recipe without "Synchronize tags" Data of a data record that has been read are only displayed and can only be edited in the recipe view.
Page 194: Scenario: Entering Recipe Data Records In Runtime
Operating recipes 10.4 Recipe application Synchronization with the controller In the case of synchronous transfer, both the controller and the HMI device set status bits in the shared data compartment. You can use this mechanism to prevent unintentional overwriting of data in either direction in your control program. You define the address range of the data compartment separately for each controller on the "Range pointer"...
Page 195 Operating recipes 10.4 Recipe application Sequence You enter the production data in the recipe view or the recipe screen, assign a recipe data record name, and save the new recipe data record on the storage medium of the HMI device. Configuration in WinCC flexible You configure the recipe along with the associated tags.
Page 196: Scenario: Manual Production Sequence
Operating recipes 10.4 Recipe application 10.4.4 Scenario: Manual production sequence Objective The production data are to be requested by the PLC according to the work piece to be processed and displayed on the HMI device for inspection. You want to be able to correct the transferred production data online, if necessary.
Page 197 Operating recipes 10.4 Recipe application Configuration in WinCC flexible You configure the recipe along with the associated tags. Production data are to be transferred to the PLC, so it is necessary to synchronize with the PLC to prevent the data from accidentally overwriting each other. The tags are to be transferred to the PLC.
Page 198: Scenario: Automatic Production Sequence
Operating recipes 10.4 Recipe application 10.4.5 Scenario: Automatic production sequence Objective You want production to be executed automatically. The production data should be transferred directly to the PLC either from the data storage medium in the HMI device or from an external data storage medium. The production data do not have to be displayed. Sequence Production can be controlled using one or more "Scripts"...

Operating recipes 10.6 Recipe data record administration 10.6.3 Read recipe data record from PLC Introduction You can read values from the PLC and write them to a recipe data record. For example, you can do this in machine teach-in mode in order to save the positioning data of axes as a recipe data record.
Page 205: Exporting And Importing Recipe Data Records
Operating recipes 10.6 Recipe data record administration Result The values of the recipe record are transferred to the PLC. 10.6.5 Exporting and importing recipe data records Introduction Based on your configuration, you can either export recipe data record to a CSV file or import data records from a CSV file.
Page 206: Reactions To Modifications Of The Recipe Structure
Operating recipes 10.6 Recipe data record administration Importing recipe records Requirements Import functions are configured. Procedure 1. Customize the import settings on the user interface of the HMI device. For example, you can set the CSV file path. 2. Use the button or the key on the HMI device which is assigned the "Import recipe records"...
Page 207: Example
Operating recipes 10.7 Example The system also applies the default value to the recipe data record if the recipe data record contains an insufficient number of values. Caution When a tag is renamed, the assignment is lost. 10.7 Example 10.7.1 Example: Creating a recipe Task In this example, you create three recipes for a fruit juice mixing machine.
Page 208 Operating recipes 10.7 Example Recipe data record values: Data record name Liter water Liter concentrate Kilo sugar Gram flavoring Fruit drink Nectar Juice Procedure 1. Create the following tags with the settings indicated earlier: Liter water, Liter concentrate, Kilo sugar and Gram e-establi.
Page 209: Example: Configuring A Recipe Screen
Operating recipes 10.7 Example 10.7.2 Example: Configuring a recipe screen Task In this example, you create a recipe screen for the visualization of values of the fruit juice mixing machine. You use a recipe view to select the recipes and their associated recipe data records.
Page 210 Operating recipes 10.7 Example Procedure 1. Drag-and-drop the "Liter water", "Liter concentrate", "Kilo sugar", and "Gram e-establi" tags from the object view to the "Fruit juice mixing machine" process screen. Four I/O fields are created and linked by the specified tags. 2.

Maintenance/Service 11.1 Clean screen/keyboard foil 11.1.1 General information Introduction Clean the HMI device screen or keyboard foil at regular intervals. Use a damp cloth. Caution Cleaning the keyboard foil of key devices Clean the HMI device after it has been switched off. This ensures that functions are not inadvertently triggered by touching the keys or the touch screen.
Page 212: Notes On The Touch Panel
Protective foil A protective foil is available for the touchscreens on HMI devices. The necessary ordering information is provided in the Siemens Catalog ST 80. The protective foil is not part of the material supplied with the HMI device. The self-adhesive foil prevents the screen from being scratched and soiled. In addition, the matte surface of the foil reduces reflections in poor lighting conditions.
