I have a project that involves a Versaview PC, RSView32, Controllogix and a Kinetix 6000 Drive connected on a Sercos Comm network. I have approx 150 data points that I need to have in a recipe function. Should I use the recipe function in the RSView32 or look at a SQL solution? I need to be able to let the operators build a recipe and then load the machine with the recipe once it is complete.. Let me know of the best solution. I am not a SQL or database programmer so if the solution involves heavy database code, I would rather stay away from it.
 
I've found that both of the recipe options in RSView32, inherited from ControlView and WinView, are inadequate for any significant recipe work.
You most likely will want to make validity checks on the data entered and flag any errors as they are entered.
You can use the included VBA and store recipes as text files if not too involved. Otherwise, you will most likely need to consider VB and a database.
