I'm having trouble understanding a concept with the recipe manager concept in FactoryTalk View. Let's use the common example of baking bread.
So your recipe is for example "White Bread". To make this product there are multiple ingredients(parameters). For example one ingredient may be "White Flour". So in the Recipe Plus Editor I would enter the ingredients then In the Data Set1 field I would but in this example the quantity of flour required then in the Tag Set1 field I would map to the PLC tag that I want to set.
What I don't understand is the next tab on the editor for Units. A unit as I understand it is a pairing of a Data Set with a Tag Set. What is the purpose of defining a unit? What would you use multiple units for?
