Display Recipe Contents
The display recipe function is used to verify the contents of a recipe number before it is
loaded from the recipe book. In order to view the desired recipe, the operator must enter the
number that contains the recipe he wishes to view. Once a valid recipe number is entered, the
display will indicate the contents of the stored recipe in percentages.
Erase Recipe or Entire Book
The Erase Recipe or Entire Book function is used to eliminate old or outdated recipes from
the recipe book. If the operator only wants to delete one recipe, the configuration for that
recipe should be currently displayed on the screen. The controller will only prompt the
operator if they want to erase the entire book when that key is pressed. Once a recipe number
is deleted, the contents of that recipe are lost. The recipe number may be used again in the
future for new recipes.
Printer Features
The Slide Gate/Auger blending system may be equipped with a printer, so a printer menu is
available to the operator. This menu is displayed in the “Report Setup” area of the Setup
screen. The printer menu is accessed by pressing “Report Setup” from the Setup menu.
Figure 50: Typical Report Setup Operator Screen
The printer is used to obtain batch ticket and inventory information. A batch ticket contains
the time and date, the actual blend percentages and the accumulated inventory numbers for all
networked blenders (1 to 999).
The blender can be configured to automatically print and clear inventory on a selected
interval. To automatically print or clear reports perform the following:
1. Enter in the Report Interval in hours (1-24).
2. Enter in the Report Start Hour (0-23, 0 is midnight).
3. Enable “Auto Print Inventory” and “Auto Clear Inventory.”
• If replacing the current recipe with one that is downloaded from the Recipe
Book make sure that the previous recipe has been saved, as it will be over-
written by the new downloaded recipe.
