Create variables

Create variables that define a motor alarm, temperature, and individual ingredients.
TIP: Instead of creating variables manually, you can import controller variables in the offline mode. See Import controller variables.

    Project view
    , create five variables by right-clicking
    Model
     and selecting
    New
    Variable
    .
  2. Rename the variables by hovering-over each variable, selecting
    Edit
    , and entering:
    • Ingredient01
    • Ingredient02
    • Ingredient03
    • Motor1Alarm
    • Temperature
  3. In
    Project view
    , select
    Motor1Alarm
    .
  4. In
    Properties
    , select
