A recipe consists of different data records that contain different values. Recipes are used to combine data that belongs together, like machine parameters. Each recipe consists of several elements. An element has a display name and a tag. The display name is used to identify the element in the recipe view at runtime. The tag is used to read the corresponding process value from the PLC or transfer a changed value to the PLC. Input of data in Runtime With the help of a recipe view it is possible to edit recipe directly in runtime at the HMI device. Import of data in Runtime Recipes can also be imported into the runtime. This is done with the help of csv files. So it is possible to edit the csv-files on a central PC and import the changed recipes to the HMI device. Input of data during engineering If all production data is determined during engineering you have the possibility to configure the complete recipe in WinCC flexible with the help of the editor Recipes.

Recipes are configured in an own editor called Recipes. The elements are the single ingredients of a recipe that are needed for configuring a machine. With the different data records you have the possibility to create different mixtures with the elements.

To display and edit recipes on a HMI device you can place a recipe view on a screen.

Recipe view
The recipe view is a screen object and can be found in the tools window under enhanced objects. The recipe view shows the data records in a table view.

Simple recipe view

With HMI devices that have a small display size (e.g. OP77B) the simple recipe view is used for editing recipes. The simple recipe view consists of 3 display areas:
Recipe selection Data record selection Data record entries

Recipe screen
A recipe screen is a special screen for editing recipes. This screen can be configured individually by placing IO fields with a connection to the recipe elements. With normal buttons it is possible to trigger all necessary events for the recipe administration.

Data logging is used to store important process values during a specified time period. The interpretation of the logged data brings for example results for the productivity of a machine. Use of tag logging When logging process values you have the possibility to document the process or analyse error states in the machine. You can optimize the product quality and guarantee quality standards.

Data logging is controled by cycles and events. The logging cycles ensure a continuous recording of process values. Data logging can also be triggered by events, e.g. the value change of a tag. These settings can be defined separately for every single tag. WinCC flexible provides the following logging types:
Circular log: If the data log is full, the oldest value is overwritten Segmental circular log: The log is divided into several log files, each of the

log files have the same size. If all files are filled up, logging continues with overwriting the first file again
Display system event at: If logging reaches a certain fill level, the user gets

informed by a system message

Raise event: If the log file reaches the maximum fill level an event is raised.

Depending on the HMI device, the logs can be saved local or on a PC in the network

Exercise

For displaying data logs in runtime you use a trend view

Possibilities of storage
Depending on the HMI device you can use different storage media. The saved data can then be edited with other tools.

Display of data logs

You can display the values of a data log in a trend view. The trend view is under enhanced objects in the tools window.

First create a new internal tag with datatype Int In the editor Data Log create a new log. Configure the number of entries, the path and the logging type The new tag should be written to this log cyclic every second. You configure this in the properties of the tag. In the screen Trends place a Trend view Add 2 trends to the trend view One trend should show the realtime value of a tag, the other trend should show the logging tag Configure different colors for the two trends and test the different settings of the trend view Start the runtime with the simulator and test the project
