The steps that follow explain how to create a recipe item or variable.
To create a recipe item or variable:
- Select a cell in the Identifier column and type a tagname, variable name, or a tag group symbol name.
If you prefer, you can double-click a cell in the Identifier column to display the Field Select dialog box.
- Select the corresponding cell in the Formula column and enter a formula for the recipe item. When you complete your entry, the text in the Calc Val column changes to reflect the formula's value.
- Modify the text in the Description and UOM columns as needed. Notice, that if you enter a tagname the text from the specified block's Description and EGU Tag fields are automatically inserted for you.
- Modify the override limits as needed. By default, the override limits are sent to Unrestricted. If you want to change them, refer to the section Entering Override Limits for instructions.
- Modify the Verify column as needed. By default, recipe verification is disabled for each recipe item you add to the recipe. To enable it, select a cell in the Verify column and type ON in the text editing box. Keep in mind, it is recommended that you only verify Analog Register, Digital Register, and Text blocks. For more information about recipe verification, refer to the section Verifying a Recipe.
