Not sure what you are asking, but the operator can make the changes right in the recipe from the c-more, then it ask to save them. If the operator loads a recipe then goes into the PLC and makes changes to the V-memory, no they will not be saved to the recipe. Make the changes at the c-more then save. But remember to read from the panel to the PC to save the recipe changes to disk. I made changes to the recipes through the c-more then forgot to read from the panel to update the recipe info on disk, I lost all my changes. Is that what you are looking for.

That's what I thought. Problem is that the operator has to make quite a number of changes when he's operating the screen. So going through the the whole recipe, find the one you want, edit, reload everytime is a pain. Ideally I would like to load a recipe to V-mem the operator can then edit them directly with text entry on the screen keep making his changes and testing if they work and then hit a button and it saves it back to the Panel.

What I have done in the past is set up a recall recipe screen and a store recipe screen. I then use the memory transfer feature of the "recipe " buttons.

Basically, I set up sections of VMEM for for each recipe area and also have a VMEM section that is the current operating parameters.

When a job is done, operator can edit current part number and store to recipe slot "A " for example. Any changes made to the operating parameters are then transfered from operating parameters area to storage slot "A ".

Upon next set up, operator selects storage slot "A " recipe button and it transfers from storage slot "A " to the operating parameters.

It takes quite a bit of mapping to get all the storage slots you need set up, but ends up being very simple for the operator that is using the system.

Hope this help a little, Bob
