● Modifiable (procedure, step): Parameters can be changed during batch control. If the recipe
step is currently being processed there will be no reaction to the parameter modification.
The modified parameter will only become effective when the step is processed again.
Note
Effects of parameter references
The following behavior applies in the case of parameter references (source or target
interconnections):
● If parameters are designated as "Modifiable", the operator is permitted to enter new
● If parameters are designated as "Not modifiable", the operator is not permitted to enter
● If parameters are designated as "Not modifiable" and are interconnected with a source,
● Effective immediately (step of type EPH, EOP, operator dialog): Parameters can be
changed during batch control. If the recipe step is currently being processed, a changed
parameter value will become effective immediately; in other words, it is transferred from
the running recipe step in the control recipe directly to the controller, where it takes effect
in the executing block. This option can also be set for parameter references.
● Hide parameters: If you select this check box, the value of the parameter is not displayed
or the parameter row does not appear in the table.
● Equation: Configure arithmetic expressions at transitions and recipe parameters of recipe
unit procedures (RUPs), recipe operations (ROPs), and recipe phases (RPHs) to calculate
setpoints from parameters from the next highest recipe level and constants.
● Visible externally: If you select the check box, the parameter will be output to the batch via
the API command "GET_PARAMETER" without interconnection to the recipe header,
regardless of the recipe structure.
New (in the dialogs for recipe procedure, RUP, ROP sequence, formula category):
You can create new lines for input material.
Delete (in the dialogs for recipe procedure, RUP, ROP sequence, formula category):
You can delete a selected line. Remember that this line can be a data source or target.
Description:
In the dialogs for the recipe procedure, the RUP and the ROP sequence, you can enter an
explanatory text.

new values.
parameters nevertheless assume modified values of the source. If the operator enters
a new value on a parameter interconnected with a source, the parameter reference is
resolved. Resolved parameter references remain resolved in the subsequent course of
the recipe.
