Downloading a recipe from the Recipe Builder lets you preview the calculated values of each recipe item prior to sending these values to the process database.
The window being displayed determines the type of recipe you can open and subsequently download, as the following table shows:
You can download a... |
From... |
|
Master recipe |
Recipe Development window |
|
Control recipe |
Recipe Development or Recipe Operations window |
Regardless of the window you download a recipe from, the process is the same and is summarized in the following steps.
To download a recipe:
- Select the Download button from the recipe header.
- Complete the Download dialog box if it appears.
- Acknowledge the message box or dialog box that appears.
The Recipe Builder does error-checking. If the Recipe Builder detects an error, the download aborts. If the Recipe Builder detects no errors, the download begins. The Recipe Builder completes the download and displays the results in a message or dialog box.
The sections Starting the Download, Checking for Errors Before Downloading, and Displaying Download Results describe each step of the download process. Refer to these sections for more information about the download process.
IMPORTANT: Make sure no recipes are downloading when you reload a process database. Unexpected results can occur if the Recipe Builder attempts to download during a database reload.
