FT View - How to display Recipe selected on PV Screen

3 posts in this topic

I have a customer who has several parameters  for his machine process. He would like a recipe structure as opposed to having to change all the parameters every time he changes product. I have the recipe working, using "Recipe Plus", but would like to display the recipe name selected on the main screen and cannot identify how to do that? Any Ideas?

You'll likely have to create a subroutine in the controller that MOVs the recipe being run into a tag with data type STRING, then read that tag in the HMI on a String Display. I once tried to do this with an HMI tag, but couldn't figure out how to make it work.

Thanks !  I will look into that as a solution. So far what I figured out was to add a field in the recipe with the recipe name.
