WinCC flexible/Recipes
Managing data records in recipes

The WinCC flexible/Recipes option is for managing data records that contain connected machine or production data. You can, for example, transfer the contents of a data record from the operator panel to the controller to switch production to another product variant. Recipes are often used for parameterizing plants/machines in manufacturing industry but especially in the context of batch-oriented production in the food or plastics industries.
 

integrated in all HMI devices and optional for PC-Systems under WinCC flexible Advanced
  Benefits:
  • Simple transfer of recipes to the controller
  • Clear representation in table form of the data elements
  • Representation in a technological context across several process screens
  • Import/export functions of data records for further-processing using other tools (e.g. Microsoft Excel)
  
 
Pre-assignment and management of recipes
With WinCC flexible, you can use a separate editor to conveniently create recipes and the associated data records and to pre-assign them with data. A configurable table object is for displaying and managing data at runtime. If necessary, you can also represent the individual data record elements directly as standard input/ output fields across several process screens. This means that the system can present the data to operators in clear technological views.
 
 
Data exchange with the controller, storage and logging.
Data record elements are linked to the process via a direct tag link with the tags in the controller. It is possible to transfer the data records in both directions, i.e. specifications from the operator stations result in production data from the controller. In this context, powerful interfaces make possible synchronized data exchange with the controller. You can store the data records on local data carriers or on a network drive; if desired, you can also import and export them in CSV format. To record individual production and process sequences, it is possible to document the data records in the form of a batch or shift log.
