About the RecipePro+ editor

How do I open the RecipePro+ Editor
In
FactoryTalk View Studio
, in the Explorer window, under the HMI server, double-click
RecipePro+
 >
RecipePro+ Editor
.
The RecipePro+ editor extends the functionality of the Recipe editor with advanced recipe management. You can use the RecipePro+ editor to create, duplicate, edit and preview the recipes. By refreshing recipe values, you can view the differences between the current tag values and the preset recipe values. You can also use it to export recipes to CSV files or import recipes from CSV files.
By using the
FactoryTalk View
 command
RecipeProEdit
, you can open the RecipePro+ editor with full functionality at runtime. In this case, you do not need a
FactoryTalk View Studio
 license. You can also open the RecipePro+ editor with fewer functionalities by using the
FactoryTalk View
 command
RecipeProList
.
TIP:
The earlier operations are initiated by RecipePro+ commands that are assigned to the actions of graphic objects. Therefore, there must be a graphic object like a button on the display for each operation that you want to perform. For details about using the
Command Wizard
 and about specific
FactoryTalk View
 commands, see
FactoryTalk View SE
 Help.
The RecipePro+ editor consists of these parts:
  • Toolbar
    Contains commonly used actions, such as creating, deleting, and refreshing recipes. When you point to an icon on the toolbar, its description is displayed below it.
  • Navigation bar
    Contains tabs to edit, import, or export recipes. You can click the left-pointing or right-pointing pointer at the bottom to collapse or expand the tabs.
  • Recipe file editor
    Provides an editable area where you can set up and configure recipes, specify importing or exporting options.
    TIP:
    The
    Current HMI Server
     list is not available at design time. It is only available at runtime.
