Configure Set Recipe for Equipment

Configure Set Recipe for Equipment

The Set Recipe for Equipment set-up on the window REC_02_SCR/02_Production Control has two main components:

  1. Text Field (Ignition)
  2. Button (Ignition)

Configure Text Field

In a production environment, the recipe name would be provided by a database and not a GUI component like a Text Field. However, for convenience in running this script repeatedly, manual text entry allows us to change the name each run.

  • Drag an Ignition Text Field component onto the screen. Resize it to about double its default length.

  • Change the Name property to tf_RecipeName.

  • Add a Label called Recipe Name: to its left.

Configure Button

  • Drag an Ignition Button onto the screen. Size it wide enough for the text shown.

  • Set the Text property to Set Recipe Values for Equipment.

  • Open the Component Scripting dialog box (Ctrl-J), select the actionPerformed event handler script area and paste in the following script.

    Script for the actionPerformed event handler

    Copy Code
    Code
    eqPath = 'New Enterprise\\Site\\Area\\Line 1'
recipeName = event.source.parent.getComponent('tf_RecipeName').text
enableValueMonitoring = True
system.recipe.setItemRecipe(eqPath, recipeName, enableValueMonitoring)
print recipeName + ' selected for ' + eqPath + ' and value monitoring is ' + str(enableValueMonitoring)
