Changing Values with Recipesdl-permalink__symbolPermalink

Use recipes to change or read recipes values for a specific set of variables (recipe definition) on the controller at the same time.

You define the basic settings for recipes, such as location and format, in the “Recipe Manager” object. Insert one or more recipe definitions below this object. A recipe definition is composed of one or more recipes for the contained variable. The recipe consists of specific variable values.

You can save a recipe to a file or write directly from files to the PLC.

Recipes can be loaded via the CODESYS development interface, the visualization element, or the application program.

The variable values from recipes are transferred automatically to and from another controller when they are data source variables and a data source exchange is configured. Reading and writing occurs synchronously. Therefore, CODESYS updates all variables in a recipe at the same time. After reading or writing, you can use the call ‎g_RecipeManager.LastError‎ to check whether or not the transfer was successful (‎g_RecipeManager.LastError = 0‎).
