The HMI screen "Recipes" includes the "Color selection recipe". This is a prefabricated
object from the library of the TIA Portal. You can use this object to select data records
and to create new data records.
The data records (color mixtures) and elements (color components) are stored in the
"Recipes" HMI editor. Each color mixture consists of the four color components cyan
(C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), black (K). The proportion of each of the four color
components in a color mixture is stored in the "Recipes" editor.
The values for the respective color components are written in PLC tags when you load
a color mixture. The PLC tags are stored in the "Tags_Filling_Process" tag table of the
CPU.
The HMI screen "Recipes" also includes a slider. You use this slider to specify the
number of tins to be filled.
