7.2
Start Recipe*
The functionality of this item depends on the features the
controller supports and how the controller is configured (for
multi-step ramp, single-step ramp, or ramping disabled).
If the controller supports a multi-step ramp and soak recipe
based on parameter values stored in the controller and the
feature is enabled, Start Recipe is used to start running that
multi-step ramp and soak recipe.
If the controller supports use of the single-step ramp to
setpoint function at times other than at startup and the
feature is enabled, Start Recipe item is used to ramp the
current process variable to the current setpoint over the time
period specified using the appropriate parameter.
If the controller supports use of the single-step ramp to
setpoint function at times other than at startup and the
feature is disabled, Start Recipe can also be used to ramp
the current process variable to the current setpoint.
However, if ramping is set to ÒdisabledÓ, then a confirmation
message is displayed before the PV is ramped using the
default ramp time, one minute.
