Recipe Creation
There are a few guidelines when creating a recipe for the first time. Using the
‘Upload and Create’ button on the Recipe screen, the operator can upload the cur-
rent recipe values from the controller (even if a recipe has never been downloaded)
and start a new recipe. (It is recommended that the operator download the
‘Standard’ recipe first then press the ‘Upload and Create’ button. This ensures that
the new recipe starts with valid values.) Then using the recipe setpoint navigation
buttons as described above, the operator can make changes to the recipe setpoints.
Entering values for the Dynamic setpoints is not required; however, it is suggested
to set them to the same values as their similar Pre-dry setpoints. In a non-
Optimized recipe, the Dynamic setpoints will not be used by the controller. Below
are guidelines on how to set up the Pre-dry, Cool Down, and Material Temperature
setpoints for a new non-Optimized recipe.
•
Pre-dry Airflow (%)
– This airflow setpoint is used when the Process Air
VSD (Variable Speed Drive) is in Fixed Frequency (manual) mode. Fixed
Frequency means that the VSD will keep a certain output % of total speed
regardless of the actual airflow in the system. For an initial recipe 90% -
100% is the recommended starting range.
