You can also enter the tagname of the download interlock into the Recipe Builder. Once defined, the Recipe Builder automatically examines the value of this tagname during a download and if the interlock is inactive, the program downloads the recipe. In the sample recipe, you would enter the tagname ILK1.F_CV for the download interlock. For more information about entering the download interlock, refer to the section Defining the Upload and Download Interlocks.
