Optimized Recipe Operation
An Optimized recipe is one that has already been learned by the system, and has
been proven to reach the desired material conditions. When an Optimized recipe
is downloaded and used in the OptiMizer™ system, the sequence of operation is
slightly different. Upon Dryer start-up with OptiMizer™ enabled, the Initial
delay, Pre-dry, and OptiMizer™ Delay modes will function exactly as described in
the non-Optimized section above. The difference in operation begins when the
OptiMizer™ Delay time has elapsed, and the OptiMizer™ begins making
changes. After the delay is complete, the system will go into Ramp Down mode.
In Ramp Down, the system starts with the Pre-dry setpoints from the recipe and
works through the Ramp Down sequence to achieve the Dynamic setpoints from
the recipe. In this mode, the control system makes larger, quicker steps when
working towards the Optimized or Dynamic setpoints. It can do this with more
confidence because the system has already been proven to run at these Optimized
setpoints during a previous run.
Once the Tune Down or Ramp Down mode is complete, the control system goes
into Dynamic mode. While in the Dynamic mode, the system continuously moni-
tors changes to the system conditions and setpoints. If deemed necessary by the
OptiMizer™ control, a Tune Up/Tune Down or Quick Up step may be initiated in
order to keep the material conditions at the correct levels.

NOTE: This Optimized recipe operator message should not be confused with the
‘Optimized’ system status text that is shown in the bottom right-hand corner of the
screens. The system status of ‘Optimized’ means that the system is in a state of equi-
librium and does not need to change any settings in order to maintain the Material
Temperature setpoint. The system needs to maintain this state for a period of time
before the Optimized recipe message is displayed.
