Introduction
CIMPLICITY HMI Functionality

CIMPLICITY HMI softwares Base System functionality - Point Management,
Alarm Management, Data Logging facilities, plus a full-functioned User Interface lets CIMPLICITY HMI software users collect data for reporting and visualize data
via lists, graphic status displays, and alarms. Standard data communications ability
makes CIMPLICITY HMI software a tool that can provide services such as the
following:
Downtime reporting
Production reporting
Records of production counts at work stations
Graphic monitoring of automatic data point values
Fault reporting via direct point values and alarms
CIMPLICITY HMI softwares flexible system architecture and modular design

allows for easy add-on functionality.
The Recipes product option is fully integrated with CIMPLICITY HMI softwares
Base System functionality, enhancing its already powerful monitoring capability in a
full range of computer integrated manufacturing environments.
About CIMPLICITY Recipes

CIMPLICITY Recipes lets you create and manage device independent Recipe data
for your production processes. With CIMPLICITY Recipes you store your
configuration in Recipe Groups. Within a Group, you specify Recipe parameters
once, then enter parameter values for each Recipe and CIMPLICITY HMI device
Point IDs for each Map. You no longer need to maintain separate Recipes for the
various pieces of production equipment in your factory.
Parameters, Recipes and Maps are displayed side-by side in a spreadsheet format.
This simple and intuitive configuration process can save you hours of setup and ongoing maintenance of your Recipes.

Recipes Configuration Interface

CIMPLICITY Recipes has an easy to use configuration interface rich with the
following features. Using the Recipes Configuration interface, you can:
Create and manage Recipe Parameters, Recipes, and Maps side-by-side

in a spreadsheet format.
Import and export Recipe Groups from/to CSV format files.
Archive Recipe Groups.
Automatically reconcile Recipe Groups to accommodate changes in the

Groups structure and layout.
Compare Recipes.
Manually Upload Recipes.
Manually review/modify parameters and Download Recipes.
Create Recipe Parameter Files, which supply the information required

to automatically Upload and Download Recipes.
Recipe Objects in CimView

Recipe objects can also be embedded in CimView screens (using OCX Controls).
These objects let a run-time user:
Manually Upload Recipes.
Manually review/modify parameters then Download Recipes.
Basic Control Engine Interface for Recipes

Recipes provides a Scripting interface (using extensions to the Basic Control Engine)
that lets you do the following:
1-2
Automatically Upload and Download Recipes based on system events,

such as point changes from a shop floor device.
Import and export Recipe Groups from/to CSV format files.
GFK-1303
Recipe Concepts
About Recipes
CIMPLICITY Recipes is a powerful, yet easy to use option module which lets you
create and manage Recipe data for your production processes. It has been designed
with the flexibility required to fulfill both batch and discrete part processing
requirements.
This flexibility gives you the ability to choose which Recipe to download to which
equipment, and provides you with the power you need to manage and control your
production processes.
Recipe Components
The Recipes option consists of four main components:
Recipe Groups
Parameters
Recipes
Maps
A Recipe Group is a container for all Recipes and Maps sharing a common structure.
This structure is basically a list of ingredients and process variables, referred to as
Parameters, required to manufacture a batch of product.
Each Parameter in the Recipe Group has attributes that you can use to identify, set
limits for, and set default values for the Parameter.
The Group is responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of its Recipes and
Maps. If Parameters are added, removed, or rearranged in the Group, all Recipes and
Maps will automatically be reconciled to reflect these changes. Recipe Groups are
stored in files with an extension of .RGP.
A Recipe is a list of Map-independent values needed to manufacture a specific batch
of product. Each Recipe Group may contain one or many Recipes. When Point IDs
are specified in a Recipe, the value of the point at the time the Recipe is downloaded
will be sent to the Map. During download, the Parameter values in the Recipe are
written to the CIMPLICITY HMI points defined in the download Map.
GFK-1303
2-1
A Map is a list of CIMPLICITY HMI Point IDs to which Recipe Parameter values
are written to (on Download) or read from (on Upload). These points may represent
non-contiguous device addresses, and can span several devices. Each Recipe Group
may contain one or many Maps.
Recipe data can be uploaded and downloaded, both manually and as the result of
system events.
Understanding Recipes
The best way to understand the power of CIMPLICITY Recipes is through a simple
example of how Recipe configurations are maintained. Conceptually, a Recipe
Group is like a spreadsheet. The layout of a Recipe Group contains information such
as the Parameters, which define the components used to produce the product.
The Parameters would be the first column of the spreadsheet. Other columns in the
spreadsheet would contain the Maps and Recipes.
Example
Moms Bakery is using CIMPLICITY Recipes to bake three types of bread; white,
raisin, and rye. Because these breads have similar ingredients and processes, they are
stored in one Recipe Group called Bread. Moms Bakery also has two production
lines available for baking bread: New Line and Old Line.
The Recipe Group looks like this:
where:
2-2
Parameters list the ingredients used to make bread, along with process
parameters such as temperature, mix time, and baking time.
Recipes list the amounts of each ingredient, temperature, mix time, and
baking time for each type of bread.
GFK-1303
Maps specify the points where the Recipe values are to be downloaded.
Maps do not have to have contiguous points, and can span several
devices.
At runtime, the head baker can Download a Recipe by specifying the Recipe Group,
Recipe, and Map. For example, the head baker can select the Recipe for Rye bread
then choose to make it on the Old or New Production Line. Downloads can also be
done on a CimView screen with the click of the mouse.

Getting Started
To start the Recipes option, double-click the Recipes icon in your projects
Configuration cabinet.
If the CIMPLICITY HMI project is not currently running, you will be given the
opportunity to start it before the initial Recipes Configuration window opens.
The Recipes Configuration Window

When the system is ready, the Recipes Configuration window opens on your terminal
screen.
The configuration window is divided into two panes. The left pane is referred to as
the Tree and the right pane is referred to as the Grid. The panes are separated by a
vertical splitter bar that can be used to resize the two display areas.
The Tree contains a high-level summary of the contents of the Group. It lists the
types of Attributes that may be associated with a Parameter, as well as all Recipes
and Maps the Group contains.
The Grid is used to display detailed information about the Groups components. It is
also where you define Parameters, Recipes, and Maps.
GFK-1303
3-1
By default, new Groups are tagged as Untitled until a unique identifier is assigned
when the Group is saved.
Tree Icons
The Recipe tree consists of four main branches: Recipe Group, Parameter Attributes,
Recipes, and Maps. In addition, you can create SubFolders under the Recipes and
Maps. Each branch in the tree is represented by a folder icon. This icon has two
states:
The branch is not currently selected.
The branch is currently selected and items in the branch are displayed.
The components in the Recipe tree are the individual Parameter Attributes, Recipes,
and Maps. The icon for a component has three states:
The item has not yet been loaded into memory.
The item is loaded in memory.
The item is displayed in the Grid.
