I'm creating a recipe entry system for Factorytalk View SE. We will have up to 250 ingredients for this system. Each of the manual ingredients will be weighed on a floor scale that is connected via Ethernet IP to the main PLC. The main selection screen (attached Display.pdf) will have the indicator populated with the ingredient name and when pressed will open a pop-up screen (Recipe entry). From this screen the operator will see the ingredient name and recipe quantity required. He will then select which floor scale to be used, measure the required amount into the scale and press verify. The system will confirm the correct amount and this will then be added to the mix. What I need to know is if there is a way to create only 1 recipe entry screen and have the tags automatically populated for the appropriate ingredient when the display is selected from the Display screen or do I need to create 250 recipe entry screens with the appropriate tags on each? Just looking for a way to speed up my programming!
