Below is a summary of the fields you need to complete to define the upload and download interlocks.
Download field — defines the tagname or tag group symbol that acts as a download interlock for the recipe. When you download a recipe, the Recipe Builder verifies that the value of the block is zero. This means that the interlock is inactive. If the value of the block is non-zero, the interlock is active and the Recipe Builder aborts the download process.
Upload field — defines the tagname or tag group symbol that acts as an upload interlock for the recipe. When you upload a recipe, the Recipe Builder verifies that the value of the block is zero. This means the interlock is inactive. If the value of the block is non-zero, the interlock is active and the Recipe Builder aborts the upload process.
By default, the F_CV field is assigned to the interlock tagname when no field name is specified. However, you can enter any F_ field for the tagname (such as F_04 for a Digital Register block).
To define the upload and download
interlocks for the current recipe:
- On the Options menu, click Advanced Options. The Advanced Options dialog box appears.
- In the Download field, enter the tagname or tag group symbol of the block that acts as a download interlock for the recipe. In the Upload field, enter the tagname or symbol of the block that acts as an upload interlock. If you prefer, you can select the browse (...) button to the right of either field and select the tagname from the dialog box that appears.
