Recipe display

Also known as: Prescription display, Recipe view, Recipe screen

German: Rezeptanzeige

In HMI systems, a recipe display is a screen object or view that shows the recipes stored in the HMI or controller with their data records and lets authorized users select, view, edit, save and transfer them to the controller.

  • HMI and SCADA

In one sentence

A recipe display is an HMI view for selecting, viewing, editing and transferring recipe data records to the controller.

Example

Before a product change, the operator opens the recipe display, selects the recipe "Bottle 0.5 l" and transfers its parameter set to the PLC.

How it applies

  • Engineering: Configure which recipe elements are visible and editable, their limits, units and access levels. Transfer to the controller should be confirmed and should fail visibly if the controller rejects values.
  • Operation: Editing recipes changes production parameters. In regulated industries, changes may require an Electronic signature and are logged in an Audit trail.
  • Documentation: Explain the difference between selecting, editing, saving and transferring a recipe in the operating manual, and who may do each. The list term "prescription display" is a mistranslation of the German "Rezeptanzeige"; use "recipe display" in English documents.

Recipe display vs. recipe

The Recipe is the data (parameters and procedures for a product). The recipe display is the HMI view used to work with it.
