Hey Everyone,

I have a project I am working on that requires a certain recipe depending on which product is being run in the machine.

Each recipe will have a different set of values for a different set of parameters.

Does Automation Studio have a recipe manager? Is there a suggested way of doing this?

We would like the recipes to be transferable if possible.

Hello,

There are many ways of doing recipes.
The most popular is with data objects. You can add them to the software tree in the project or create them at runtime with a library.
You can also write and read data to/from csv or text files with FileIO library.

Finally, you can store recipes in a variable in remanent or permanent memory.
For many recipes, this is not a good idea.

I personally like to write everything to a csv file. This way, you can also get it out of the PLC very easily.
