Specify the recipe ID from 1 to 65535.
You can create up to 2048 recipe IDs.
You cannot register the same recipe ID twice.
Label
Enter up to 32 characters for the name of the new recipe.
The defined labels appear as recipe labels in the Enhanced Recipe List.
Security Level
You can define the security level from 0 to 15 for each recipe ID.
If the security level is less than the defined security level, you cannot edit element values on the Enhanced Recipe Data List.
When using system variables to automatically transfer enhanced recipe data, data transfer will occur even if security levels are set up. Import and export of enhanced recipe data also works even with security levels.
To set the security level, from the [Common Settings] menu, point to [Security] and click [Security Password]. An then select the [Enable Security Function] check box.

If the element [Data Type] is to signed [8 Bit], signed [16 Bit], signed [32 Bit], or [32 Bit Float], entering a single-byte space between the minus sign and a value, or entering consecutive minus signs causes the value to be recognized as 0.
For example, -<single-byte space>12345 -> 0, --12345 -> 0
If the element [Data Type] is set to [32 Bit Float], keep the number of digits after the decimal point less than the number of [Decimal Places] defined in the [Float display format].
26.25.2 Enhanced Recipe Data List - Display
When using the text format, the number of characters (bytes) for each address varies depending on the device/PLC. For more information, refer to your device/PLC manual.
Text format does not support text table conversion.
For the handling of double quotation marks in text format, refer to the following.
26.20 Importing and Exporting Enhanced Recipe Data
Text is output based on the character code defined in the [Create new Enhanced Recipe Group] dialog box's [Language] field. Please refer to the following for character codes.
26.20 Importing and Exporting Enhanced Recipe Data
The capacity for enhanced recipe data varies depending on the defined data format.
Check the [Data Size] and [Total Data Size] for the data capacity occupied by recipes and recipe data. Make sure the [Data Size] and [Total Data Size] is less than 20,000 bytes and 320,000 bytes, respectively.
Address
Set up the start address for the recipe group data. You can also use internal device addresses.
Units
If [Data Type] is anything other than [Text]
Specify from 1 to 10,000 the number of consecutive addresses in words or bits starting from the address defined in the [Address] cell. If the [Data Type] is 32-bit, specify from 1 to 5,000.
Deleting the beginning of consecutive elements deletes all associated elements.
If [Data Type] = [Text]
Set the number of characters, from 1 to 72, to display as the element value.
Editable
Specify whether to allow editing of element values on the Enhanced Recipe Data List. If the check box is selected, you can edit its value in the defined range, in the [From] and [To] fields.
Input control
Set the element's [From] and [To] values. You can select this option if [Data Type] is of integer type or [32 Bit Float] and [ON].
From
Set the minimum value for element values.
To
Set the maximum value for element values.
Recipe#
Specifies element values for the recipe label selected in the [Recipe] list.
If using [Input control], you can specify element values in the [From] and [To] range.
You can create a maximum of 10,000 element values.
Delete
Deletes the elements selected in [Element] list.
Show Only Default Label <<
Displays only the element labels and element values in the [Element] list.
Click [Show All Labels >>] to display all the settings in the [Element] list.
Data size
The status bar shows the data size in bytes for recipes ([Recipe] list).
To calculate the data size, the [Data Type] defined in the [Element] list is converted into bytes.

Number of characters defined in [Units] cell = number of bytes If the defined number of characters is an odd number, the number of bytes is "#+1". |
You can occupy up to 20,000 bytes per recipe. Convert the data type into bytes for each element in a recipe and confirm that the total is 20,000 bytes or less.
Total Data Size
The status bar shows the data size for recipe groups in bytes.
You can occupy up to 320,000 bytes per recipe group. Confirm that "[Data Size] x registered number of recipe IDs" is 320,000 bytes or less.
