Run time:
This is where you calculate the longest time for a straight cycle for the recipe unit. It is
determined from the sum of step times through the course of the recipe, which in total equals
the greatest time. The time is entered as an empirical value in the steps. The output format is
day:hours:minutes:seconds.
"Monitoring time" in seconds text box
You specify the monitoring time and a system message will be generated if the current ROP
runtime is greater than or equal to the monitoring time you have set. Monitoring is disabled
when you enter a monitoring time of "0".
Scaling the run time:
You can use scaling functions to make processes quantity-dependent. Depending on the
specific quantity of the batch, the duration of a step is also corrected via the set scaling function.
The linear and quadratic scaling functions are available by default.
"Overwrite runtime" check box.
If you select this check box, the "Run time" text box can be edited. You can then change the
run time calculated by the system. If you clear the check box, the run time calculated by the
system is then entered and used.
Description:
You can enter an explanatory description for the unit recipe here.
