Recipe overview

L20E controllers support using recipes to save custom lists of associated recipe data. Each recipe supports up to 10 recipe sets and each recipe set supports up to 50 variations. The variations of a recipe set are stored in separate files with unique names.

A recipe supports up to 128 variables, including a maximum of 4 data string variables. A string variable can contain up to 252 characters.

Runtime recipe operation is executed using the RCP function block instances. RCP reads recipe files from or writes recipe files to an SD memory card. To retrieve or delete the recorded recipe files on an SD memory card, use a card reader, or use

FactoryTalk Design Workbench

to upload, download, and delete recipe files.

For more information about recipe sets and the micro SD memory card, see Micro820 Programmable Controller User Manual-2080-UM005_-EN-E (publication 2080-UM005).
