List and Load Recipes
Now that we have saved some recipes, we need to list and load them. Thankfully HELIO comes equipped with the Recipe Management Page.
1. Add a Recipe Management Page
- Set up recipe management page
- Add a Recipe Management Page.
- Set the recipe types to our
Product Recipe
recipe type.
- Manage recipes
Congratulations, now you can view, save, rename, delete and duplicate your recipes!
But most importantly, here you can load any previously saved recipe. This means to set the parameters that you have defined within the recipe to the values you saved in the recipe.
You could also open this page as an overlay from anywhere in your HMI and load the recipes from there, as you can see below!
2. Display the Active Recipe
Additionally you can also display the currently active recipe's metadata anywhere in your HMI. For example you could use a header cell like this:
- Add a Header Cell
- And set its title to use the Active Recipe Metadata.
- Select the
Product Recipe
recipe type and the name.
- Try Switching Between Recipes
Use the HMI Preview Panel and switch to Test
mode
in order actually switch between the first recipes you've just saved.
Also check out the Recipe Management the has all our previous steps already setup for your.
