Record Sets
Definition
A record set combines one data record from several different recipes under a
common name.
In its data records, a record set contains all the values required to set up a ma-
chine or system. This means, for example, that the basic settings for machines
which operate simultaneously can be loaded to produce different products.
Example
In order to simplify the general overview, the ORANGE fruit juice system used
in this chapter is extended by the production lines GRAPEFRUIT and
LEMON. To do this, the recipes GRAPEFRUIT and LEMON are set up. Each
of these recipes has a data record called "Drink". These three data records form
the record set called "Drink".
The data record "Drink" for all three recipes can be downloaded simulta-
neously to the PLC in a single transfer action, thus starting production of the
"Drink".
Editing
A record set is edited in the Data Record Processing and Transmission
standard screen the same as a data record.
The editing options are:
Selecting
Select the recipe name RecordSet from the selection window. If "Record set"
has been chosen as the recipe, all the data records of all recipes are displayed
following selection of the data record. Record sets (data records which are
present in several recipes) are identified by * in front of their name.
