I am currently working on a project where I have a similar issue with tag limit. I saved myself a few tags by writing to a String(ST) files. For example, when i want Product A logic, I write "ProductA" to ST14:0 and use ASCII String Compare(ASR) to Jump to correct subroutine. I found this to be a very intuitive approach. I have about 20 products setup in RecipePro that I write product ID to ST file as an ingredient. I am using a SLC5/04. Gary

How can I keep RecipePro in RSView32 from omitting the leading 0 in my data set. For example, my recipe data value is .123, but when this value is downloaded to the SLC5/04, the value becomes 0.123 which causes the RecipePro's data verification to give error that the data does not match. I need the recipe data to be stay as entered and not omit 0 (0.123) Is this possible? Thanks in Advance. Gary

Some of my recipe variables will be floating point. Would it be easier to setup my recipes in the ladder program and call them with B3:xx

I am wanting to set up recipes in a SLC5/04 processor. My problem is RSLogix500 is not showing a recipe folder in the project tree as shown in the help files. Also, RCP instruction is greyed out. Any ideas on how to make this work? gary m

I think RSView will be the way to go... I will need the flexibility to quickly change variables. My main goal was reduce cost in building this system. Are there any other good HMI SW packs out there? Thanks

I have a PanelView 550 that I can use for a project I am currently working on. I have used RSView32 in the past to build HMI. My question is: Can the PanelView be used store recipes like RSView? I need to store approx 30 recipes for read/write to SLC5/04. I haven't found very much detail in how/if this can be done. Thanks in advance gary m
