Set up RecipePlus

At runtime, recipe files can either be a part of the HMI project, or can be stored in some other location. Use the
RecipePlus Setup
 dialog box to specify where the recipe files will be located at runtime.
At design time, only recipe files that are within the HMI project can be edited.
IMPORTANT:
  • If you select to store the recipe files outside of the HMI project at runtime, you must move the files manually from within the HMI project to the desired location before running the application.
  • If you select
    Recipe files are NOT part of the HMI project
     in the
    RecipePlus Setup
     editor, do not include an IP address in the path that appears in the
    Folder where recipe files will be located at runtime
     text box. Instead of an IP address, be sure to use the computer name.
To set up RecipePlus
  1. Double-click the
    RecipePlus Setup
     node in the
    Application Explorer
    .
  2. Specify whether recipe files will be part of the HMI project at runtime.
  3. If recipe files are not part of the HMI project, specify their runtime location.
Options
  • Recipe file location
    • Recipe files are part of the HMI project
      Select this radio button if recipe files will be part of the HMI project at runtime. Recipe files appear under the RecipePlus editor node in the Application Explorer. The recipe folder in the HMI project will be named RecipePlus.
      When this option is selected, all of the recipe files in the HMI project will be included in the ME runtime application (*.mer). This is the default behavior.
    • Recipe files are NOT part of the HMI project
      Select this radio button to specify an alternative location for recipe files at runtime.
      Click the
      Browse
       button to browse to the desired location. At runtime, the recipe system will look for recipe files in this folder rather than in the HMI project recipe folder.
      When this option is selected, none of the recipe files in the HMI project or in the specified folder will be included in the ME runtime application.
