When you clear the “Recipe management in the PLC” option, the Recipe Manager and recipe definitions will not use any memory on the PLC.
If you select this option, then code is generated for the Recipe Manager and all recipe definitions, and this code is stored on the PLC. The size of the used memory primarily depends on the number pf recipes and their variables, as well as the data type of the variables. Whether or not the fields of the recipe definition are filled also has an effect. The memory usage of recipes cannot be calculated. It has to be determined by experimentation at the time it is needed. The following table merely provides some guiding principles.
