Adding a Line Recipe

    Enter a line recipe name, using the Windows on-screen keyboard if your PC does not have one.
    This name will appear in the One-Button Recipe drop-down menu. Close the window when done.
    The new line recipe name now appears in the line recipe field and is selected (reverse highlighted).

  2. If you want the recipe instructions to be displayed when the recipe is loaded, check the Show Instruction on Download box.

  3. Button_Number.jpg Touch this button to enter a Line Recipe Number. If you have an optional Anybus module installed, this number can be output when the recipe is being used to a customer-supplied controller or other device for monitoring or control functions.

  4. Enter the number of seconds for the Base Alarm Delay.  The delay timer starts when a new recipe starts loading into the modules.  The Base Pressure alarms are shut off during the delay, to prevent nuisance alarms should the base pressure change before new alarm settings are loaded.

Adding Spray Machines to the Line Recipe

    Select one or more spray machines from the list. The spray machines must be created first, through the System Configuration window.

The spray machines appear in the Spray Machine list and the modules associated with the currently selected spray machine appear in the Module list.

Copying the Current Module Configurations to the New Recipe

  1. Make sure the desired One-Button Recipe is selected in the Line Recipe field.

  2. Touch the Upload Recipes button under the Module list.

The current configurations of each module in the list are copied to the recipe. A recipe file is created for each module with a name such as 12 Ounce BeerSM1, which can be interpreted as 12 Ounce Beer Spray Monitor 1. When loaded, the module recipe name is displayed in the Recipe field on the Information tab of each module configuration window.

Using One-Button Recipes

You can create a different One-Button Recipe for each product at one time, using the Nordson Default configuration settings for each module. Then Before beginning production of a product for the first time, you can load the recipe and then adjust each module's configuration as necessary while running trial production. The changes you make are automatically saved to the One-Button Recipe module recipes.

Once you have set up a One-Button Recipe for each product the spray machine can handle, you can simply load the One Button Recipe when product changes occur.
