Parameters on the Recipe screen include:
Recipe Name
Type the name of the new recipe being created.
Seg# Recipe segments 1 through 8 may be programmed, each with its
own set of events, ramp and soak times, and soak temperature.
Ramp Time The time required to ramp setpoint up to temperature may be
programmed here. Values between 0 and 99:59 are allowable. As in
the Protocol Plus controller, profile ramp and soak times are stored
without units. Units are independently set locally, in the actual
controller, as either hours and minutes (HH:MM) or minutes and
seconds (MM:SS).
EV1 through 4 From 1 to 4 events may be programmed into the ramp time portion
of each segment here. These typically involve actuating/disabling
relays to close/open valves or perform other relay-controlled
functions. NOTE: These will only actuate when the controller has the
relay cards installed and programmed for an event. Recipes may
contain four Ramp and four Soak event choices, although only those
relays actually supplied in a Protocol Plus controller and configured
for events will be affected by recipe settings, when used to run a
profile.
Soak Temp. The temperature of a particular segment is entered here; it can
range from -18 to 540 degrees C (0 to 1000 degrees F). See Notes
on Soak Temp and Hi Limit SP, below.
Soak Time The duration of soak is entered here; the value can range from 0 to
99:59.
