For batch processes (e.g., mixing different paint colors or baking different bread types), recipes are essential. Vijeo Designer 6.3 includes a built-in recipe manager that allows operators to load, save, modify, and create recipes directly from the HMI. Recipes can be stored on external media for easy backup.
To ensure your HMI application is maintainable and robust, follow these industry best practices:
