Force synchronous writing for recipes

[affoltep]

Hello

I want to implement a handshake between SCADA and PLC for recipe transmission.
The idea is to set a flag, which is transmited to the plc after sucessful writing, so that the plc knows, that all the data's in the recipe structure are valid and updated.

For this reason I need to force the synchronous write mode for every recipe and I don't want to allow to set or reset this flag by the operator.

How can I achieve this?

You can accomplish this with using the system variable
Recipe/RGM recipe completely written local.
This is a bool variable which gets the value "1" when the recipe has been successfully written to the chosen variables.

For transfering this status to a PLC variable simply create a allocation (Trigger type: Edge).

Hello Herbert

Thank you for the quick response. So, I have seen, that the system driver flags are independent from the "sync write checkbox". The "sync write" option just controls the accesibility of the recipe manager buttons.

So then my question is: Is there a function to block all buttons of the recipe manager until I' ve got the response from the PLC (simular to the sync write)?

You can use the Interlock-Functionality for this.
-> at the time where you execute the recipe set also a bool variable
-> this bool variable is evaluated within an interlocking condition
-> the interlocking then is linked to the buttons at the recipe
-> after the recipe has been successfully executed reset the bool variable (interlocking)
