BATCH Recipe Editor
10.4 Creating recipes
Operating principle
A transition condition at the start monitors process values, states and events. When the
transition condition is fulfilled, the monitoring runs concurrently. Monitoring is configured similar
to all recipe structures and can contain all the topological elements (loops, AND, OR,
synchronization lines, etc.).
Monitoring is started automatically as follows:
● With each entry into a monitoring area.
● With a jump to a monitoring area.
● With an automatic start of a step in the monitored area.
Monitoring is stopped automatically as follows:
● When the monitored area is exited with "Cancel" and "Reset". The status of the overall
monitoring then becomes "inactive".
● By a configured logic, which ends with a jump without a jump destination. The status of the
overall monitoring then becomes "completed".
Monitoring is restarted when the last transition in the monitoring is completed.
It is possible to monitor beyond synchronization lines. You can configure synchronization lines
on the top level of the monitoring. They are displayed using the light red and dark red
background color in the Recipe Editor.
The following restrictions apply to synchronization lines:
1. The nodes for a line are located in the direct sequences of the simultaneous branch.
2. If one of these sequences contains a monitoring object, rule 1 is applied to the content.
It is therefore still not possible to end synchronization lines between two recipe units and an
AND, although this poses no problem to the sequence.
Representation in the Recipe Editor
The monitored recipe area and the monitoring itself are shown with a color frame. The
monitored area has a light frame, the monitoring a dark one. The two areas are located parallel
to one another. Each monitoring contains a loop by default. The loop indicates that the
sequence is repeated at the end.
Double-clicking the selected "Monitoring" object opens the full recipe structure of a "Monitoring"
inserted in the Recipe Editor. In the other direction, double-clicking on the name of the
monitoring collapses the opened monitoring structure.
Limitations
● Monitoring does not automatically start actions in a monitored area.
● A manual operation to recipe objects within the monitored area starts or stops the
monitoring.
